I've been using henna for&nbsp; 20 years and I found that, when I got older/started to have some grays, my brows lightened enough that I needed to start doing them with some pencil/powder. It makes all the difference. </p> <p>I especially like this color with your beautiful eyes, by the way - auburn hair and brown eyes makes me think of carnelian gemstones and the magic fox-women of Japanese folklore. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-hair/page/2#post-1451770 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 20:18:59 +0000 Anonymous 1451770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know, it's a great colour Amy. I actually felt like you when I had really vivid lowlights put in about 3 months ago (faded and grown out a bit now). As soon as I added more lippy and bro definition I actually looked so much more lively&nbsp;with my bright hair (It just took me a while to get used to it) and had&nbsp;several compliments as well. Persevere with it. We like it and you will too:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-hair/page/2#post-1451667 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 17:04:45 +0000 Nebraskim 1451667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late to the party here, but I agree, not burgundy but I love the auburn here. I also quite like that it's not subtle. There are folks who want their hair color to look "real and natural" and others, like me, who dig the "not to be seen in nature" colors like burgundy, eggplant or blue. I love that you're willing to be adventurous and a little edgy. Life is too short to have boring hair. I know sometimes job or other obligations require a more subdued look. But if you have the chance to be out there, go for it. Also, sometimes the shock of the new, and in this instance, unexpected, can bring on first impressions of "OMG I Hate this" that mellow as you get used to the new look. I think you look adorable and it enhances your eye color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-hair/page/2#post-1451603 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 15:33:39 +0000 Angie 1451603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;It's quite nice, Amy. A little warm - and more auburn than burgundy - but I'm sure the colour will settle. It sounds like you are used to it already. GREAT.&nbsp;</p> <p>I echo the suggestion of brows and lips. That will go a long way to softening the &nbsp;colour against your complexion - and make a more cohesive statement.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-hair/page/2#post-1451600 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 15:17:01 +0000 Rubygirl 1451600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is more auburn to me than a burgundy colour. I think once it settles in or once the orange colour hue tames itself down, this colour works well with your palette. :)<br />My natural hair colour is auburn. I find it hard here in Ontario to keep up with the dying of the hair using auburn. I find it fades far too quickly. I do know I need to change my current colour of brown also. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-hair/page/2#post-1451568 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 14:14:29 +0000 AM 1451568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not surprised you got compliments galore. I think you wear this color well. And ditto with MsMaven and lisap on having some fun with&nbsp;make-up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-hair/page/2#post-1451430 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 05:04:10 +0000 amiable 1451430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the therapy friends! &nbsp;You are really great.</p> <p>I think that I would have been just as shocked if it would have turned out just like the bag pictured, to be honest (pic below from the amazon listing).</p> <p>Anyway, I'm letting it grow on me - I got compliments on it galore tonight, and one friend noted that it brings out the pink in my skin, which I think I like. &nbsp;I'm going to start trying color pairings and see what I think! &nbsp;Expect some "what about this color?" type posts on the forum :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-hair/page/2#post-1451420 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 04:24:08 +0000 Sveta 1451420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it a lot Amy. Of course it is a shock to drastically change a hair color and to get not exactly what you expected but I think the color suits you.&nbsp;<br />Give it some time, it may grow on you (like my shocking dark hair did a couple of years ago) - especially if DH like it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-hair/page/2#post-1451417 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 04:16:36 +0000 Gigi 1451417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that this looks good on you! I would definitely stick with it and see how it looks after a few days. Also, this will give your own eyes time to adjust so that you will be able to see what your true opinion is once the shock wears off. I think that if your hubby likes it, that is a good sign. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-hair/page/2#post-1451405 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 03:51:54 +0000 Jules 1451405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks really good! I used to do henna a lot, a loonggg time ago - this is about what I would expect from regular straight-up orange&nbsp;henna on your hair. IIRC, I used to try the other henna "colours" as well -&nbsp;but the results were always pretty much the same,&nbsp;the rest was marketing.&nbsp;<br />Again, if I am remembering right, henna does not fade as quickly as commercial red dye, which does fade pretty quickly. It's really a whole different animal so research accordingly if you want to fade it a bit or try it again. The upside is that it leaves your hair in much nicer condition. And I do really like this although I understand the initial shock </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-hair/page/2#post-1451392 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 03:31:00 +0000 Jaime 1451392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not bad at all and bound to tone down a bit in a few days. Red hair suits you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-hair/page/2#post-1451366 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 02:36:38 +0000 jackiec 1451366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I'm quite surprised! I do like it. I agree that it will look better a bit toned down. It's the front bit that's reading a bit orange, but the back looks very rich. I think it brings out the brown of your eyes </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-hair/page/2#post-1451288 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 22:33:39 +0000 Anonymous 1451288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I quite like it , and MsMaven's suggestions or questions regarding eyebrows and lip colour are mine too. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-hair#post-1451279 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 22:21:35 +0000 merwoman 1451279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hugs to you Amy! I can tell by your expression that you are not loving the new colour - but I think it's quite beautiful. It's a little jarring (to you) because it's such a change.&nbsp; My first thought was how it showcases your gorgeous brown eyes - and that you need to darken&nbsp; and shape your eye brows a wee bit to further accentuate. Your hair is so silky and what a great cut! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-hair#post-1451270 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 22:16:13 +0000 Niki Lea 1451270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like this colour on you! What might help is a little pencil or shadow on your brows - or even a shape/tint at a salon. My brows are lighter than my natural (and dyed) hair colour, so I get them tinted and I find that makes a very big difference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-hair#post-1451269 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 22:14:04 +0000 trekkiegirl 1451269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gotta say I think it looks great. Maybe teensy bit orange, but I love all shades of red and this one is really nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-hair#post-1451265 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 22:07:55 +0000 abc 1451265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like you made the right decision. &nbsp;Let us know how it looks in a few days or a week. &nbsp;Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-hair#post-1451256 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 22:02:31 +0000 amiable 1451256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kate! &nbsp;I miss you! &nbsp;Thanks for chiming in &nbsp;I had forgotten that you henna your hair, and I've always loved the color of it.</p> <p>I make myself laugh because I know the henna oxidizes and it all turns out fine, but still freak out those first couple of days. &nbsp;This time the gray ended up so very very bright (and the rest of it pretty bright too), that I forgot about giving it time to let the color settle. &nbsp;I'll plan to take more pictures of it in a week and see how it's changed.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-hair#post-1451248 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 21:59:25 +0000 Anonymous 1451248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks great! I henna my hair, and the white hairs start out that colour orange but the henna takes a few days to fully oxidize, so that bright orange will tone down. I think it looks lovely and will look natural once you are used to it and it has a chance to settle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-hair#post-1451243 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 21:54:34 +0000 Deborah 1451243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amy, I think it's really quite nice. &nbsp;Give it a few days. &nbsp;I wouldn't mind seeing it a slightly deeper tone but this works nicely and I think it flatters our skin tone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-hair#post-1451237 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 21:50:55 +0000 Astrid 1451237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not <i>in love</i> with the color on you tbh, but I think you can wear it. It's much nicer than I thought reading your post. I think just a tad more toned down and it could be great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-hair#post-1451231 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 21:45:34 +0000 texstyle 1451231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think giving it a little time will allow you to see what it's really going to look like. I don't think I'd try to go for a darker shade unless it looks a lot different IRL than in these pics. And then you could always try a small amount of additional henna dye on some less noticeable strands just to see what happens instead of doing your whole head. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-hair#post-1451222 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 21:35:28 +0000 old chic 1451222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It really suits you, I think. When I looked at the picture, my first thought was, "That must be a 'before," because that's natural hair color." Except for that little orange streak, it appears to be the color you were born with. And a soft, warm lipstick and blush could help play up the natural redhead hiding inside. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-hair#post-1451221 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 21:35:02 +0000 gradfashionista 1451221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, not what was I was&nbsp;expecting with burgundy, which tends to be more purple. This is like a light copper or auburn and suits you well! If you don't like the colour, though, you could use anti--dandruff shampoo for a bit, until the colour fades to something more to your liking.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-hair#post-1451213 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 21:27:13 +0000 Olivegreen 1451213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it. Perfect with your eyes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-hair#post-1451198 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 21:01:17 +0000 LAR101 1451198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>the harsh truth?? :)<br /> I LOVE it! I LOVE it!! OK, I loved the little picture, but when I got to see more in the big picture, I agree it seems a little harsh but it might only be that bright spot in front. I think you have the skin tone and eye color to carry this off and auburn is wonderful on you.<br /> I hope you experiment to see if you can get color 'right' because I think this is a wonderful look for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-hair#post-1451146 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 19:39:26 +0000 amiable 1451146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah - that really bright spot is my grey hair &nbsp;I think it'll tone down. &nbsp;It's a bright cherry pink-ish red in real life. </p>
