REDO, self color, Chocolate Raspberry but it is slowly fading the ugly orange highlights are coming through yet again.
My beef will be against a swanky salon where I paid almost 200 for a really bad highlight job. In the beginning it had toned to something I could work with but after a week it felt like my hair went lighter and lighter. Originally I had dark brown dye on naturally black hair.
When I went to the Angles’ Salon in the Transcanda and asked for some highlights, all I got was a dent in my wallet and orange hair in a week. I thought going to a nicer hair salon I would get something decent but all I have is a dried hair and the orange “supposedly caramel” highlights showing’s it face around.
After a week of realizing my hair was more fried then colored. I went and bought a drug store kind called Chocolate Raspberry to cover the bright orange hair I had. A lot of my friends told me to go back and get it fixed and my thoughts were I don’t want them touching my hair ever again.
And to top it off the hair cut I had after was very choppy and required a lot of blow drying time to hide the fact that the back part was very uneven. I went back to my old stylist where I just paid 20 to get it fixed and they looked at it and said I would have to cut it 3 inches to just balance out what they did but I said to just cut enough so that my hair had shape.

Choosing A Hair Color According To Your Skin Tone
Have you ever seen a woman with a hair color you absolutely loved—you asked her what color it was, she told you and you went right out and bought the same color. You applied it according to directions—and your hair looked completely wrong. I’ve learned the hard way that unless I have similar skin tone to the woman wearing the color I love, I will save myself a lot of grief if I just complement her on her great color, and let it go.
It is not just a matter of finding a color that looks great on the box. Your skin tone, your eye color, and your natural hair color must be considered when you look for a hair color for you.
First, and most important, you need to determine whether your skin tone is warm or cool. The best way to determine this is to stand by a window and hold your inner arm next to a sheet of white paper.
Is your skin primarily tan, peachy or gold? Or does your medium skin have a greenish undertone? If you are brown-skinned, is there a gold or cinnamon undertone? If so, then your skin tone is warm.
Your eye color is probably green, hazel, golden brown, or red-brown. You might have gold or brown fleck in your eyes. Your natural hair color as a child could have ranged from a natural golden blonde, strawberry blonde to red, golden brown or a deep brown with gold or red highlights. As you gray, your hair probably has a yellow cast. These are attributes of warm skin people.
If your skin has a cool tone, your arm will appear bluish next to the white paper. Your skin will have a pink undertone. If your skin is brown it will be a deep brown or a black brown. Your eyes will be blue, gray, hazel with white or blue flecks, or very dark brown. As a child, your hair color could have been very pale blonde, or a darker blonde, or a medium to dark brown that did not look gold in the sun; or your hair would have been coffee-colored, or blue-black. Your hair, as it grays, turns white. These are all cool tones.
The trick to getting a hair color that looks good on you, is to stay with the skin tone God gave you. People with warm skin tones look best in warm colors. Cool skin tones look best with cool colors. Choosing a hair that does not complement your natural coloring will result in an unpleasant disharmony, no matter how pretty the color is on the box. If the natural undertone of your hair is warm, and you try putting a cool blue or violet-based hair color on it, it is somewhat like mixing yellow and blue. Your hair will probably have a greenish cast.
If you read the labels on the hair coloring boxes, most will give you a clue as to whether they are warm or cool colors. The word “ash” on a label means cool. As discussed in the previous paragraph, if your coloring is warm, don’t use an “ash”, or you may wind up getting green looking hair.
You can color your hair any color you would like. Blonde, red, brown, gray and black all come in warm or in cool tones. The safest way is to follow your skin tone and choose a color that goes with that tone. You can go lighter, darker, or intensify—just stay with the same tone.
The same goes for highlighting your hair. Warm-toned people lighten with pale gold, bright gold, russet, warm brown. Cool-toned people lighten with white, platinum, cocoa.
Even the exciting crayon-color accents that you see on young people can coordinate with skin tone. There are yellows, oranges, lime-greens, and rusts for the warm-toned, and fuchsia, electric blue, purple and black for the cool-toned.
