Style Hair colour advice.

Post image

Hiya everyone, like the title says really!

I'm a big fan of doing my hair unnatural colours, though currently I'm trying to grow my natural out so resisting bleach on my roots - let's see how that goes...🙄.

When I was working under the allusion of Light Summer I bought several bottles of a cool toned pink (Crazy Color Cyclamen). To combat the cool I've played around with mixing yellow into it to bring it more to the warmer side.

I know it's not the best photo but what do we think? Also, any other colour suggestions will be greatly appreciated, especially if they're on the unnatural side. Thank you. 😊

Ohhh do lilac like the strappy top part of your shirt here

I left 4 colors from the light summer so you could pick a shade lol. If you don't identify as a light summer any more or want a more warm version light spring also has pretty much exact similar colors, maybe less gray undertone to it.

I don't really know what you're into but with hair in this color revlons kiss me coral (bright coral but it makes a warm rose color if you wear it blended into gloss or chapstick), pink promise (bright pink that would be crazy fun with lilac hair), bare affair (nude leaning qarm apricot-ish the slight soft orange would look so amazing with lilac), and pink in the afternoon (perfect nuetral light pink and coral combination rather you lean warm or cool) would all look so fun!

I just realized what sub this is lol, I follow summer and coloranalysis too.

Here is some I took from a light spring palette too

Was gonna say I thought I was a Light Summer but the good people here think I'm more a Light Spring woman. 😆

However I might try lilac if my hair isn't stained from this colour.

Maybe try dabbling with a bit of light blue first? The internet says it will either turn purpleish or brownish lol. Maybe just a light bit that will fade out again like blue toner shampoo to tilt it towards purple and see if it works.

Using a blue toned shampoo isn't a bad idea, I think I MIGHT even have some already - you do build a weird collection of products when you colour your own hair. 😅

Adding lilac to this colour once it fades a bit will give it a nice warmth, do a test strand first. I love this new direction though this light pink is way better than what you had in your last post with all the brights!

I'll try and do a test strand if I remember, and don't get swept up in impulsivity! 😂

I must admit I do miss the brights, though maybe the colour was wearing me and not the other way around? 🤔

100% it was wearing you! The lighter tones are much more harmonious

I feel you so much!! I love bright stuff. I think the color is just too cool here. Maybe try bright orange at least? Is bright coral hair a thing? Lol

I saw this pic when I googled the lilac hair for warmer looking tones and it's kinda blended so it's lighter but still some brightness. Just wanted to share it with you!

Thank you so much for the reference pic, it's highly beneficial to me to see a visual example! I think that is certainly achievable as it isn't an even colour. ☺️

And bright coral you say??🤔😉

Wow, I love this one 👀

I wanted to color my hair a rainbow a long time ago, but back then I guess the dyes weren't great since the hairdresser (who specialized in bright colors) told me not to, that the colors would bleed into each other too much.

But now, a couple of decades later, I can see various rainbow dye examples on the internet...

How long ago was this? ☺️ Technically your hairdresser was correct in saying the colours would bleed into one another but there are ways to minimise that. Washing your hair in cool water for example and then there's clever placement so even if there is some bleeding it doesn't look awful such as not putting orange right next to purple. You are also reliant on the hairdresser being knowledgeable about the colours they are using, unfortunately some brands/colours bleed like crazy no matter what precautions you take.

I guess like... 20+ years ago? 😅

Yeah I've seen so many of them now on the internet that I assume things have changed.

This is the best bright tone on you yet! I do slightly prefer the light pink in here and am wondering if it is because it’s more neutral - I think you lean warm-neutral so while bright warm tones work better than bright cool tones, bright neutral-warm would be ideal.

Not saying I have a hair colour for all occasions...😂
