Will I Ever Learn to Leave My Red Hair Alone???

I have never used the particular color or brand I used yesterday but I have colored my hair twice, ok we're not counting the time I dyed it purple during my punk phase, both times came out ok and I got the results I wanted. One time it was lighter strawberry blond and the other time was after that when I wanted more of my natural bright red back.

This is the box I bought, it had the color and separate highlights. Basically my naturally color just a bit brighter and with highlights.

This is before.

This is the result I got, well not exactly I didn't take pictures of the result I got from this color because I was too traumatized. It was dark really really dark. So this morning I went and bought a strawberry blond dye and put it on my hair. And this is my results.










It's still way too dark and I'm not happy at all. Just ask the people I live with. I have not been easy to deal with today. I know, I know it's just hair color and I will get over it. It's not even really about the hair color, I'm just frustrated because of the reason I started this whole process, the cut and color in the first place. That's a whole 'nother post for a later time.

I will probably go get a blond and put on it in a couple of days. But for now, this is me and it's just hair.
