Anyway, so I was looking at a lot of Korean forums due to the sudden death of the ex-president. And I somehow drifted into a hair forum and found the perfect shade I've always wanted!
It's the upper two shades!! (btw, that's Hyori, if anyone was wondering..) the perfect soft mocha-brown with no golden/orange/yellow undertone to it!
It's such a difficult shade, every time I attempted that color at the salon, the results will be more like this.. (it's me btw, when I was a bit younger than now -.-)
the results would always have that golden undertone to it, which I thought (and still kind of think) is a bit tacky. Anyway, I might take Hyori's picture to a salon and ask if they could do the color.
And the situation would prob. go down like this
Me: Hi! um, I really want this specific hair color, and I don't like golden undertones, blah blah
Stylist: Oh, yeah yeah, we could do that color because we use blah blah blah
Me: Ok, let's do it then +_+
(few hours later)
Me: ........ (T_T) I told you I didn't want goldiness in my hair!!!! I'll have to dye it black again!
...its not even the first time
Ah I always wondered how they get asian hair to be brown without red undertones!
ReplyDeleteI think the short hair looks really cute on you!^^♥
i hope the next time you dye it it'll work out. that seems to happen to me too, i'm not expecting all these other undertones to the color..but bam..there they are.
ReplyDeletehaha. i think most people experienced that. :)
ReplyDeleteGah, I dyed my hair red a while ago, now I have constant red undertones no matter what I do :(. Hope you get the hair colour you want <3~
ReplyDeleteooo that is a pretty color! hehe but i also like ur hair color right now =) but yea summer is coming and im trying to dye my hair a lighter color hehe.
ReplyDelete@Ji: I'm still in that wondering process LOL
ReplyDelete@MiuMiu: I dyed it today! and as expected... I have brazen undertone..(SIGH~)
@K.S.: SO TRUE
@SPACE LOVER: I don't reply to these type of comments.. but Ok, since I like space too.. -.-)
@Lolren Lollipop: Ugh, I feel like I replied too late! but there's actually something called unred and it's an additive to hair dyes. you could put that in your shampoo too (and its fairly cheap!)
@ilovepink: I like my natural hair color too :p but summer is def. a lighter color season >_<)b let me know if you lighten your hair too!
yes! i hate those golden tones too. actually, more like a coppery/brashy tone. egh.
ReplyDeletei think that's because asian hair has red undertones to it.
i normally call the hairdresser to dye it again until its right, or almost. lol. Try a mixture of an ashy/matte colour.:)
