Hi all. I have 100% virgin hair for the first time since I was 11 years old. (I'm 38 now.) I have been growing out horrible blonde for the past three years. Before that point, I had colored since I was 18; and going back farther than that, I used lemon juice, Sun-In or whatever I could get my hands on. Anyway, now I think I'm a medium golden brown (naturally). Can this particular tone do reds? I am not planning on coloring right now, but I hope to henna eventually as I get grayer (I just found my very first gray hair). Any help would be great...thanks!

| I don't think it would be a problem going red. Sounds like your a level 4 or 5. Do you do your own color or goto a salon? |

| Yes...goldends will take on reds fine !! Due test henna first...cuz If I'm not mistaken....you cannot color over henna if you don't like it...good luck |

Yep if you color over Henna it will come out a disgusting yellow-green color. |

Thank you! Right now I don't color my hair at all. The above is my natural color. ------------- Mels |

Golden blonds are at the red end of the blond hair color chart - so yes, red will do okay. Ash blonds are not in the red family (a fact many people who post here complaining about getting 'orange' blond hair seem to forget). |

Do NOT use henna, because if you do you will have to grow it out all over again. Nothing will take over a henna color, even the strongest bleach wont change henna. Please dont use henna. ------------- fyi I know my spelling sux! |
