Going Red from Blonde

Thanks so much Rebekah (love your name).

A girlfriend and I were discussing (she too is blonde like myself) the fact that our family members like our hair the way it is and don't want us to change it; and you know our color is fine.  I guess that when you get to our age (42yo) we want something different than we've had our whole lives...just for a change.  She wants to go warm brown, me red .

I like your suggestion and will be purchasing the colors tomorrow.  I've heard GREAT things about Wella Demi-permanent color charm.  Does anyone use this product?  Or does anyone recommend some other semi/demi permanent coloring for the task at hand?

Thanks...Soccer Mom

Hi Everyone, I'm new here and very glad I found this board.  I am 'tired' of my blonde hair.  I was a beautician student many years ago and have never had my hair done by a professional.  I am naturally blonde but as I've gotten older my hair is getting darker and *now* grey hairs are starting to pop up throughout.  In the photo below...

I had colored my hair with Walmart purchased Feria, I did two different shades and basically focus on my roots and comb through to the ends in the last ten minutes.  You can see my roots and that I am now a dirty-blonde with ash tones. I once used a temporary strawberry red color that was very flattering to my complexion & everyone just loved it.  I want to do this again and am considering the Wella Color Charm Demi Permanent color and then perhaps some blonde highlights throughout. If anyone has any suggestions to make this a smooth transition from Blonde to red, I would greatly appreciate it.
