And, I firmly believe that everyone should be a redhead once!
Indeed. I had fun with it, for a while. Well, really, red highlights to the dark lowlights. Was great. Except for the times it came out like tiger stripes because the red went really rather orange. Turns out my Grandad was a redhead, and my hair grabs red VERY strongly. We were busy with toners and recolours to modulate the colour a couple of times. So now we are playing with browns and blondes. Looks good, blends well with my own colour (the non-grey part, that is) and is less risky for the tiger effect. :D.
But I DID love the red when we got it right. Brought back Anne memories. Actually, I could never understand WHY she had so many issues with her red hair. It always sounded lovely to me!
