I want real red hair. As in not overphotoshopped Donna!hair.

I have redish hair now, but a darker, bit purple-ish shade which I like but I'm bored with it now. Also, it's kinda faded.

Three problems:

• one: I'm not sure that a lighter shade of L'Oreal Casting Creme Gloss (which I always use) would have an effect on my dark hair
• two: my mother would freak out if I'd use actual hair dye. I guess she doesn't want my hair to end up like hers after having it permed for 20 years. I get her but those are not the same thing. Whatever, I'd be a little worried too.
• three: even if I can get that colour on my hair, what if it does not look good on me? (I think it has to look good on me. I never had natural red hair but I have lots of freckles, pale skin and green eyes - which is almost blue. ;) I guess I'm an almost-redhead. I just born into the wrong body. LOL)

L'Oreal has two very different red shades I'd be interested in:

I'm not sure if Amber would even show up on my dark hair. It says "from blonde to brown", but who knows.
Also, this may be too light for me. I dunno. On the other hand, I tried lots of Casting colours over the years and they were always darker on me than on the ladies on the boxes.


Mahogany has a little more chance of surviving after applied to my hair and it looks good.
However, it may be too dark. If I could get the colour exactly as on the box I'd have no worries. But see above. (If it's too dark then it's very very similar to my previous hair colours. Not good for a girl who wants some change.)

I know, very very big problems. Sorry to bother you with this. :)
