Ok so now Ive finally shaved the last of the blonde off, Im seeing my REAL color (gasp) for the first time in...shoot... years.  Now Ive always known I was a "medium brown" but now with my plastikhaar color ring I went in and really got the colors down...

Im 55% muskat - 30% hell braun, and 15% fichte. (OK add a little gray in there too but shhhh, we'll ignore that for now)  and I mean literally because I have diffrent hair color strands.

what the hell color is that??!!!  I dont even know what LEVEL it is.  I know the red in there makes it a pain in the tush to lighten it too much, but knowing more about my real color can help me chose more complimentary colors later on.

Ive been told I was anywhere from a level 2 - 5, help please

 

(edit) oh, and lets say I lost my mind and wanted to get some human hair from hisandher.com - what color would be closest to my own?  Im lost as far as human hair colors go

okay I'm not a pro.  But in m y many years of dying i have gained quite a bit of knowledge on hair color.  Very little of it about what color is what.  none the less.  You are definitely not a 2.  I use mahaghoni and kokos and wawa #4 and I'm a 2 or a 3.  I used to double process my hair so that it was about like rotbusch or maybe as dark as kastanie.  anyhow I think that when my hair finally was done it matched dead on with wella 633.  anyhow 6 something so that might help you with understnading the level(THough I do remember a bottle of 8 something too).

You sound like you have a gold or red gold base to me.  But I gave up on human colored hair, other than coloring my gray, a while ago so I'm rusty.

And you are right.  getting natural red out is a bitch.

I know very little about hair color, but from your description, I think you'd be closest to a Level 4. :)
