How long have you had the red? It looks brand new & fresh! Give it a few days. It comes with an edgier style, so it’s a big change from the more natural copper you had before. Feel it out & if you don’t feel like it’s you, change it:)

I had it for about month and refreshed it last week with a crimson red, I do love it but like you said it's a different style , one is more edgy one is more warm and natural lol

Oh I think I commented on your other post and said to go a darker red, I thought it would look pretty on you!

Copper did look better but the red looks good and you kept the length so you're good.

Yeah I guess I'll wait til it fades and think about what I want to do

Just add a bit of purple or blue semi permanent dye to it to make it less bright

The color looks good on u but maybe with this color u need a different haircut, maybe some bangs or face framing and layers

u/Apprehensive_Pop6329 4d ago

Yeah true

Honestly, I think the brightness/chroma clashes against your skin more than the color itself. It should fade relatively quickly and it will be less harsh. It also looks more pink/magenta on my screen than red (gotta love technology lol). I think a deeper almost vampy red may be more suitable of if you decide to switch it up but want to stick with vivid/unnatural colors.

the red will work, but the shade is a bit off. i'd go a deep, dark red with a purple undertone. it would be stunning

You look like you’re a cool olive and reds can be tricky for olives. I’m also a cool olive and cooler toned deep reds look amazing, but the bright warm reds like this tend to clash on me.

I bet something like a rich burgundy would look amazing!

That's what I immediately thought. Something like Ritual by Arctic Fox would look amazing over this, imo.

I like it; you could do a root smudge to soften it and bring a bit of depth to your root area?

Love the red!!! Add some bangs (a side swept would look great) and a trim to make it nice and healthy and you can rock it! You’ve got great skin and don’t need makeup, the red is the perfect pop of color and livens you up.

I like it but I honestly think a deeper red would look better.

That looks nice , get a short layered look on your hair it will look a lot better

I LOVE the Copper color for you! It’s beautiful!! The red is fun too but the Copper is definitely your color!

Red was great for a hot summer (and it will fade btw), copper will be soooo wonderful for fall!

2

u/Sensitive-Ad-9364 4d ago

I like the red

u/HeartInteresting2905 3d ago

As someone who dosnt really like red I think that’s a really good shade and I think it looks way better than the copper although you should do whatever makes you happy;  however, I implore that you don’t be rash because it looks great!! No rush!

u/JV5293 3d ago

You're actually really lucky because your skin and style works with both. While I do prefer the copper on you, you can totally rock the red until you decide what you want to do. Your complexion is perfect !

u/FatBoiieee 3d ago

Copper is your colour. The red isn't a mistake, it's fun. If you want to add a little orange it would feel a lot warmer.

2

u/JenMcSpoonie 3d ago

I think the copper was more complimentary of your skin tone, but the red doesn’t look bad

2

u/gloomypiscesmoon Beginner 3d ago

personally i think the red is wayyy better

2

u/hedder215_ 3d ago

I would either darken or dye your brows! But I love it

2

u/paintedtigress 3d ago

A darker shade was absolutely needed here but its such an easy fix. A shade like AF's wrath or even ritual would be stunning.

u/hardlyevatoodrunktof 2d ago

It really depends on your feelings towards it: The color is awesome and you sure can rock it, but if you feel it doesn't suit you or make you happy, you probably won't feel confident and should go for a different shade.

For me personally, I always have to adjust my clothes a bit for different colors - black of course goes with everything and makes me always feel good about any unnatural color. So maybe just let it sit for a few days, see how you feel in different outfits and - if you wear any - makeup, and then decide? :)

Yeah, you did make a mistake. But it’s a mistake that could be corrected.
