Loreal Excellence Hicolor

 

My hair is short (6-7 in) and has mostly grown out the dyed hair [whilst my hair being cut regularly], and I was thinking of trying something else as I did like the dye but wanted better results. Even if not "lighter," it showing up better and/or not so red is desirable. 

 

I was looking here at some older posts and found someone was in the same situation as me and posted this link:

 

I am wondering if anyone has tried and/or knows how this might turn out. Is there any chance that this might turn out badly? I'm willing to take a risk and the scenario of it not lightening that much actually.. just as long as my hair doesn't turn orange or anything. Also, what would be better, the light cool brown or the coolest brown? I have tan skin and don't want something *too* light that is looks horrible but obviously I'm not sure how lighter/darker my hair will turn out as opposed to the pictures there - I'm unsure how strong because it asks to mix with a developer, unlike my last dye which came in one box.

 

Basically, I'm trying to find the best dye to create the coolest (as in, ashiest/not so reddish) light brown that I can do at home. I am not interested in bleaching/etc, just wanted to know if this would produce even slightly better results than my previous. My previous dye said 2-3 shades while this states 3-4 shades.

 

Thank you for any advice :)

 

Would it be possible to get a color like this?

Wow, I just now realized my mistake from the previous dye.

 

 

If you look at light ash brown that's almost exactly how my hair looked under most lighting conditions..  But thats not quite what I was aiming for.. the other pics sure made Light Ash Brown look different - more like golden. When I had a choice between golden/ash though I choose ash to neutralize red.

 

But anyways, do you have any suggestions now? If I use the Clairol will it turn out like that color, or will it look red?
