My new color.

A few weeks ago, I posted about how I was going to color my hair.  Well, I did it.  It's red.  Very red.  I'm not sure if I like it.  I think it's too dark.  I didn't get blonde highlights because my stylist didn't want to add any bleach to my hair (my hair is somewhat damaged from hair loss due to my weight loss).  So it's all one color and it's dark.  But I figure, red fades very quickly and maybe it will grow on me.  So here's a before and after picture.  What do you think? Too dark? 

Time for a change.

I'm ready to do something new to my hair color.  I am currently rocking a strawberry blonde with highlights.  It's very faded at this point, seeing as I last had it colored in September.  Gah, my roots are in desperate need of some color.  My only problem is I have no idea what color I want.  Here's what my hair looks like today:

I'm thinking of maybe going red.  But not Ronald McDonald red.  Maybe something like this:

Honestly, I don't know.  I think maybe the red would be too dark.  And my stylist doesn't want to add any blonde to my hair because I am trying to rebuild it.  My hair is severely damaged due to my recent weight loss.  It's falling out and a little fried.  So we're trying to stay away from any bleach/blonde for a few more months while my hair grows back in. 

I have an appointment in two weeks.  Hopefully, by then I'll have made a decision.  Any suggestions? Blacks and dark browns are out.  Otherwise, I'm open to suggestions.
