I do single process perm color at home.<br /> Used to do medium golden brown all the time but I got too much brassiness at end of 6 wks so I switched to medium rich brown or just medium brown.<br /> Now in the fall I alternate medium reddish brown with med brown (every other time) and in summer I do the same with med gold and med brown. I think it sort of balances out - really not to noticable. </p> <p>I am a level 5 brunette with about 25% gray. Was using Feria a long time ago but switched to Loreal Excellence and now I use Revlon Colorsilk. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-good-with-hair-color#post-67942 Wed, 27 May 2009 22:28:33 +0000 cciele 67942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think golden brown will work fine. I do the same as you -- I have a lot of gray and cover it with a demi-permanent color. My natural hair color is black-brown. Sometimes I use a neutral brown dye, sometimes a chestnut (reddish brown) color, sometimes golden brown. Depends on what I am in a mood for! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-good-with-hair-color#post-67933 Wed, 27 May 2009 22:08:40 +0000 taylor 67933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tarzy,<br /> As a stylist I would love to advise, however unless a stylist can see touch and test your hair it would really be rather unprofessional of me to do so:)</p> <p>I am not familar with otc or drugstore products as they are nothing like the ones we use and I have no clue what is in them, thier base colors, how they react w/other colors or how well they cover grey for that matter.:(</p> <p>As Bella advises ,best contact a pro, or call whomever cuts your hair for a reference to someone in your area. Good luck:)!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-good-with-hair-color#post-67880 Wed, 27 May 2009 18:54:18 +0000 bella 67880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Red doesn't work in my hair either and like Hannah I've discovered that those colors described as "gold" usually have some red to them.<br /> Are you planning to go to a salon? I would strongly recommend it, the type of effect you are after sounds like it requires a professional skills. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-good-with-hair-color#post-67872 Wed, 27 May 2009 18:38:43 +0000 HannahC 67872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tara,<br /> Do you have the line of, I think, Natural Formula colors, which are described as chocolate and espresso colors? I am coloring my hair to cover the gray too, and I really don't like any red in my hair. So the chocolate works for me, and I think it has a fair amount of warmness to it.<br /> I am pretty sure the tones that are described as "golden" will still have a fair amount of red in them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-good-with-hair-color#post-67871 Wed, 27 May 2009 18:37:14 +0000 Anonymous 67871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That does sound beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-good-with-hair-color#post-67861 Wed, 27 May 2009 17:45:11 +0000 tarzy 67861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>San - it would still be very dark, just with golden tones that show up in the sunlight. At least that's what I envision!</p> <p>"Dark bronzed brown" is a better description of what I'm after. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-good-with-hair-color#post-67857 Wed, 27 May 2009 17:28:07 +0000 Anonymous 67857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the high constrast you have now. Sorry no help here.<br /> Maybe a new cut would be fun? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-good-with-hair-color#post-67853 Wed, 27 May 2009 17:03:26 +0000 tarzy 67853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm feeling antsy these days, and that usually leads to one thing - doing something to my hair! </p> <p>I dye it to cover lots of grey (I do it myself - too expensive to go to the salon every three weeks) - and I've been using a dark neutral shade for a while. I'm thinking about switching to something a bit warmer, but I don't like it when it gets too red, so I thought I'd try a "golden dark brown" this time. I'm sure it will still pick up some red (it always does) but I'm hoping it will just go a bit warmer. Think it'll be all right? </p>
