This pic is fairly recent, but the lighting leaves my hair looking a little more reddish than it actually is. I guess if I have to specify my color (which is completely natural), I would say it is a light brown with some natural blonde highlights. I do believe I have warm undertones (reddish). I am a 32 year old mom of 4, I have noticed more and more grey hair popping up. My remedy thus far has been pulling them out, but I need to stop doing that. I would like to color my hair, not drastically though. I figured I would go a little lighter brown, but I need to have some highlights, otherwise my hair looks flat and wig-like. I'm not sure about which store bought kit I should get. I'd like to stay away from peroxide since I already have reddish undertones and I don't want it to be redder. I refuse to be a red-head! I have had hair coloring nightmares, which seem to result in my hair having the orange look. Right now a professional job is not the way I want to go, since I have not had my hair colored in 2 or more years, plus the cost is an issue. I want a bright, natural look that doesn't fry my hair. I have alot of questions and I'm not altogether familiar with the color wheel to cancel out too much warm undertones. I need help, but I don't want to make the same mistakes as before. I did follow the instructions from the previous kits I had used, and I always ended up with the orange-ish hair though. I do have a neutral/cool skintone, I don't know if that matters when it comes to finding the right color. I just know I can't have red hair (there's nightmares involved!
). I'm willing to take a chance and do this, but I would like some great advice from those with experience before I attempt anything. Please help and post pics (if possible) to help me visualize what your suggestions might be. JennyE
