Ohhhh, Jenn! It’s absolutely BEAUTIFUL on you! I did my share of hair coloring and bleaching when I was in my 20’s, into my 30’s and mid-forties. In 2017 I had a money piece, and I (against recommendation of a friend) went to a new hairdresser to have it touched up. When I was a child my hair was white blonde, and I knew it would lift easily. Long story short-it was a disaster! When she washed the bleach out it literally looked like Ramen noodles in the front. I went to a chin length bob, but that in the front was just so damaged. I went to a hairdresser I knew, and he cut it in a Pixie I loved and wore for the next 5 years. I’m growing it out now, and I love the dark ash and the white that’s coming in. Think I’ll keep it. I’m a winter, and the reds I tried to wear were AWFUL on me. I certainly tried it, though!
Thank you Emily! The story sound horrid but I'm glad you ended up with a pixie that you loved ❤❤❤ I don't know if I'll ever bleach my hair again - it's too much work & stress!
Your hair looks gorgeous!! Waiting to dye my hair a slightly lighter red version of your hair after this chapter in my life comes to a close as a reward to myself - so this is perfect timing and makes me motivated and excited for that time 😁
Istg the most well matched red wig I've ever seen was Monica Bellucci's red lob in Malena. The colour looked so at home on her & made her skin glow almost
I've had people tell me i look like her (that started when the matrix movies came out) and i recently just cut my hair off and dyed it a similar red to the color in that movie... didn't realize it was so similar in cut and color until i read your comment and Googled a picture lol. Don't get me wrong, i love my natural dark hair and eyes, but the red just adds a vibrancy to me instead of the stark dark and light
@allisonjoynerbizama2450 I went to cosmetology school (didn't graduate) forever ago so I mixed up my own formula. The color itself is a level 6 (1 being midnight black, 10 being platinum). My natural is about a level 3. The formula I used was schwarzkopf igora royal. I used half 6.77, a quarter 7.57 and a quarter 5.57. Your hairdresser should know what those mean. Basically you want to go for a more copper gold based red instead of just a gold based red. Quick warning though. I LOVED that color and got a ton of compliments, but it's a lot of upkeep, especially if you have darker hair naturally. I went back to my natural dark color, but I'd still recommend you try it because it's fun 😁 I hope that helped!
@allisonjoynerbizama2450 also you can usually trust your stylist if you give them an inspiration picture. A couple years ago I went in and showed a picture of Scarlett Johansson as black widow and said I wanted something in that ballpark. My stylist mixed up a red that was a bit more copper than the inspiration photo to compliment my eye color, and the color I concocted was very similar. But you might be someone who looks better with violet undertones or more gold. You're more than welcome to use my formula, or they might alter it a bit, say just use the 6.77 and 7.57 to make it a bit lighter than a level 6, or the 5.57 without the 7.57 to make it a bit darker... but the color of the wig she wears is a level 6 from what I can tell.
I wanted to ask you, I am also a soft winter, I am a light olive, can I "achieve" the softness with a lighter hair color? For example, rose gold hair (but the warmer version) looked good on me paired with a peach blush and lipstick.
Hi, I am a soft autumn, and use Madison Reed champagne blonde. They also have glosses and other products to warm up or cool down your color. Ammonia free, $25.00 a kit, I get 2 months out of a kit. Worth checking them out.
I'd be careful with not going TOO light / soft! I find with Soft Winters, Winter is still the main season so there still needs to be a decent level of contrast, and going too far into Soft Summer / Soft Autumn route tends to look washed out! So I'd say try to maintain some darkness (I've tried the rose gold hair in the past too!)
@@stylerefinementhi could you make a analisis about mcjimsey sistem because was the first book beeing published about body type i think it could be interesting a video about that and see a comparison between the recent sistems like kibbe
Hi,Jenn!!! You look amazing with this color!!! I also prefer something more "natural" speccialy because is much more easier to maintain. I'm a convicted redhair, since I was 14. I've tried to be blonde, and maybe it suits me better, but is not what I am 😅😂.
I guess the biggest issue with trying to “pull off” the red hair color is that society expects red to be this fire-on-the-head, sort of orange. I'm a natural redhead, but on the darker side of the red. Auburn to be exact. And many people just said “You are not a redhead” to my face. It gets ridiculous very quickly
I agree where I feel like the depth of a color is most vital for me as I'm close to neutral but on the warm side. But this made a lot of sense why I like a shade of red very close to my natural hair color depth of a level 5.
Hmm, I can pull off all reds except cool or bright reds (I know this from experience), orange looks surprisingly good on me; and as far as I've been able to decipher myself, I'm a Dark Autumn (ie. Deep Autumn), though I *look* fairly light comparatively.
I’m a natural redhead, but I often feel like my hair is too warm on me. But I’ve tried baby lights before and it washed me out. I don’t know how to find a balance and a easy to maintain color for redhair (the upkeep is hard, the orange always pops through)
Hi Jenn 😊 I like the soft deep red tone on you. I also think you could pull off blondish highlights, when you're tan. My skin tone is very similar to yours ( warm med. Olive, with med/soft chroma) and I really like a 50/50 blend of Redken 07nb chestnut and 09nb irish cream ,placed over bleached foil highlights. It has just a hint of blondish copper tone to it. It really compliments my skin tone, especially when I'm tan. I think its fun to change it up for the seasons. 🎉
This is the best video on red hair i've seen ❤ *me crying in a corner with my pitch black hair 😭😭😭* Wish i could go strawberry blond or have Rihanna-type cool, vibrant red hair! But the only colouring that seems to work for me and doesn't also damage my hair is a blend of coppery/ mahogany highlights. Being a Bright Spring with a light olive undertone which is neutral-warm, i do need depth AND contrast. Anything too warm and caramel-ly blends in with my skin so i need to keep my natural black as well.
Does Henna work on you at all? My mom uses it and it turns her hair RED! She does has somewhat of a lighter hair color for an Asian but the color turns out quite vibrant on her :)
I just commented the other video hahah and you know I'm always here in the comment section, but I just saw this video now... after dyeing my hair and it not quite looking right.. 💀 I think I am kinda like you, a bit on the darker side of value, medium chroma (I absolutely dissapear in bright colors, but gray doesn't look right either) and not sure about the temperature (I'd guess myself as a dark autumn or a muted winter). And burgundy colors on me look good as clothes... But I just dyed my hair burgundy/dark red with a tint of violet (it was 5.62 from Alfarf Evolution of color, but it kinda looks like the 1.8 you showed in 6:24, but a bit lighter and redder because my hair was brown black asian hair) and now my skin color looks orange 🤡🤡🤡 like that 1st Ariana Grande music video ("Put your hearts up" just search for it lol) The yellow on my skin is showing too much... And I usually look greyish, but not anymore 💀 I don't think it's because of how dark it is because my natural hair is almost black, maybe because it kinda looks too bright, or either the red tone or purple tone doesn't match me... Maybe I am not as neutral as I thought lol The hair looks like it's a filter... I'm glad yours turned out very suddle and looks good on you!
@@stylerefinement I hope mine fades to a nice color too... let's just wait and see... hahaha but now I know I am probably not a winter or that this specific color doesn't suit me well...
I’m a bright Winter with medium olive skin and burgundy looks amazing as a hair color, it’s bright enough for me but does not scream in your face like a pure red. As an olive, warm reds are a no go unfortunately even if I’m a bright Winter..it brings out the yellow in my skin. I have to keep it as cool as possible but not muted or a dull red that is lifeless. Thank you for this video! 👏🏼
My problem is, Im very warm skinned (I'm european, softer warm autumn) with darker brown hair (n.6) with orange undertone. After I started to turn grey, I tried to color my hair, but all the darker colors were to red - cold on me and if I get lighter (and the colors had orange undertone), I lost my contrast. So in the and I ended with coloring my hair. (I have just a little gray. And yes, I tried the hairdressers too.)
Hi Jen! New subscriber from Brazil! Could you make a video about korean perm? (types, how to decide, which one is better for your type of hair and haircut, etc.). I'm loving your videos and your way of explaining things, it has been really helpful for me :). Although I am from Brazil, my family is Asian so I have always struggled to understand my type of beauty and how to use my physical features in my favor. (You know, western and asian stereotypes kinda get messed up and confusing haha). Thanks a lot for your work!!
I am also olive and default back to burgundy when my natural ash brown bores me. Us (slightly warm) olive people are especially good at pulling off red I feel :)
This hair color looks really pretty on you ! It looks subtle, but in a good way. I would really like to get a consultation service from you but when I tried yesterday on your website, I couldn’t schedule a day, it seems there aren’t any slot available. Is it a bug or are you already booked for a long time ? Thank you.
