What do you guys think of this hair color and style on me?

I like it

lOVE IT!

Well, as a natural redhead, I'm partial to the color...and the cut suits you well too!

Do what makes YOU happy!

Okay, please be honest. It's just a wig from a Halloween store, but I really love the color and style. I wasn't going to get it right now; I thought I'd wait until I lost a bit more weight and reward myself with it... Problem is: My family HATES it. And, that's putting it nicely. My brothers have literally called me ugly, my mom says that there's no way in Hell I'll be dying it such a hideous color while I'm living in her house, and my dad hasn't said much, but I think he agrees.

I felt pretty with the wig on earlier today. I felt like the color really matched my personality, and I thought it was much better than my flat, brown hair. Now... I just feel like an ugly, worthless piece of #&@*.

ahhhhhh Sorry but I guess I'm the lonewolf here but I agree with the family, it's a bit of an odd color, like something off a Walgreen's shelf (box color vs. professional).

Perhaps if you get your brunette hair highlighted w/lowlights that might suit you better? Maybe the wig color is bringing the rebel side of you out?.:laugh: I can totally understand your Mom not wanting you to go with that color at only 15 years old, it's...well a bit brash.:frown: There's many lovely colors of red perhaps a more subtle one at first going from being brunette??

But I certainly don't think anyone should feel like crap if they don't like their haircolor. How about wear the wig awhile and enjoy that? You got the rest of your LIFE to be dying your hair...ask those of us that do it:laugh: Once you start...crazy expense everytime you do it (and using the box type ALWAYS looks like a funky boxed color:noway: ):smokin:

Wanna old guy's opinion? ;-) Cobyh is right-on...consider starting out with mild red highlights to your natural "flat brown hair", and I think you'll be surprised (and can get used to a gradual change until you get to the red you like most). My wife hated her "flat brown hair", as well, but she had a little red in it when I met her and fell head over heals. Guys will love it... :-)

but i do think you can totally pull off red

I have to agree with Cobyh too, and I don't do that often.

always a pleasure joe

I have always had a very level head and made rational, well thought out decisions... Except for when it comes to my hair. I didnt see your age but i figure you are old enough to work and earn the money to pay for the hair color and style you want. Its more important that you like it and have confidance in your decisions thqn any of us. Its also important to respect your parents. That being said, its a great color. It seems to suit you well. Talk to your parents and tell them you want to make your own decisions when it comes to things like this and make sure you tell them you are doing it because you like it and not because they don't. Add me if u wanna.

Wow.. then you're family would hate me. lol That's what color my hair is. I like it for you and I really think you should do what makes you happy. So what if your brother doesn't like it.. it's not his hair. I say if you like it and you feel pretty, then that's all the reason you need

Oh in regards to the age, I recall some thread called 'Too Fat for 15" a thread discussion on a TV show and I think that's where I saw you mention your age being 15 so that's where I got that from. I've think you've shared that on the boards before.

I did 'streak' (what it was called when I was growing up and it was some over the counter thing that was temporary I guess) my hair and had fun doing that. Did it look good? Oh hell I have no clue, I probably thought it did, I do remember my Dad looking at me oddly when I walked out of my room after I'd done it. LOLOL I recall cutting my own bangs around the same time too. Bahahhahahah omg! I do remember looks 2 from 'freaks' (highschool term we had) that were semi-friends but they were always high so I didn't pay too much attention.:laugh:

I think Babysitting money must have paid for my hair stuff etc., cause I wasn't old enough to work.

I think you've got a real mixture of thoughts from members here and some really great tips..also how cool to have two professionals weigh in on the matter!:drinker:

Plus there's always temp color to decide if it's something you would like to keep that way you can play around a bit with changes more then too. (still would most definitely suggest having it done professionally even then though).

Good luck with whatever you decide.

It's not horribly ugly or particularly nice... it kinda clashes with your skin tone. Perhaps it's BECAUSE it's a wig, but it looks a bit un-natural on you.

The really important thing is if YOU like it- that's what matters most!

(I do like the red tones, maybe something more golden-red would work better for you instead of purpley-red)

I think this color is a little to harsh and a little to fake looking. However, I think you would look nice with red hair. I would go with something a little more natural looking and I bet even your parents would like it.

My hair is almost that colour and it dulls out sooooo bloody fast!

I think the style - a nice thick fringe is always good. But yeah, I think I would love to see a nice dark brown-almost black. Maybe a couple red streaks underneath from the nape of your neck?

I like the red idea, but the color on the wig is a bit to red red. if that makes sense. But I would say a red tone would look good on you.
