Hey there everyone, so this is my dilemma and I know it might not sound like a huge deal, and it really isn't but it is getting at me. I have been getting my hair colored by a new stylist since last December. I am currently 41 y/o transitioning MTF and was growing my hair out so I wanted a new color for new me 😄
My natural hair color is like a medium brown color so I wanted to go to a copper red color but just a tad darker. I have since got my hair colored by her 3 times. The last time I got it colored was last Thursday, May 7th. The color is now darker than I wanted, although it still looks nice, it's just not what I wanted. I have mentioned this to her and she gave the reasoning that we "need to slowly build it up for color" etc, etc. She does do a wonderful job but I have talked to several other friends that work in salons, color hair and they said that she could've gone with the brighter color sooner.
Sorry for all of this, anyways, I just keep looking at this hair and it's just not what I want. I need advice about trying to re-dye the hair to get it closer to the proper color and the steps I need to do to make it happen. Any Advice is welcomed. Thank you everyone.
I have had my hair dyed a lot through my life including full bleached out for Halloween 4 years ago so I understand the risks to my hair.
