I have naturally red hair (a light auburn/copper color) that I just got blonde highlights in about 3-4 weeks ago. I have a very cool complexion (with red undertones) and blue eyes. I am thinking I'd like to go blonde all over. I was going to buy a home hair color kit, but when I called the hotline to pick a color, they said I shouldn't color over my hair with new highlights in it. Is this true???
If so, how long do I have to wait to color my hair? They suggested I go to a salon, which I may end up doing because I really don't know what color to pick. I think their main concern was that I would over process the highlights by going blonde all over.
Thanks for any help!

| You should not do box color over highlights b/c color doesn't lift color. You want to lighten. Try a highlight kit and instead of the cap, do chunky foils. Go to the website Makeup Alley they have some great reviews of home hair color :) |

| I agree with emu. I liked my highlights so much that I wanted blonde all over to.So, I got my sister-in-law to foil mine.It looks great foiled.If u did it all over color.It would look bad.Cuz of the color of your skin.I think all over blonde looks good on someone tan or atleast med. skin.I'm med. skin,but I think the highlights looks better. I really think u should go to a Salon & get them to put heavy chunks of blonde in it.That would look good.I'm kinda jealious of u.Cuz r a real readhead.I love auburn hair.Lucky u. |
