Definitly some red tone, but not strawberry. Looks like a
honeyed copper, sort of.

It is a cool color, tho - well done, too, from what I see.

I have no idea what to call it, but I think it looks purty.

Well duh - highlighted hair should be neon yellow, pastel blue,
pastel green or glow-in-the-dark pink. But whatever color you ended up
with looks purty, whatever you call it.

I was trying to think of the female equivalent of a comb over
and I think it's got to be when a woman dyes her hair jet black
to try and look young again. It never works, it's awful looking
and only calls attention to the skin that has also aged. Very
few people have truly black hair and even if one did at a young
age it's a mistake to try to go back by going darker. For some
reason the same women who do this also decide to grow
their hair really long too.

Oh my. We have one of those where I work. Only, her hair is
fluorescent orange and her skin is a matching shade of fake-n-bake tan.
It's quite an alarming combination.

Eeeek ! Maybe she spilled the hair dye on her face.

A young thing at a lo cal beauty supply place (I have yet to
emerge beautiful, no matter when I shop there, the supply of
beauty must be pitifully low) suggested that I purchase and
use an alarmingly dark, reddish-purple hair dye, telling me
that the faded red/auburn color my had reverted to was too
"yellow" for me. I bought the stuff, and thought about it,
and have decided to give it to a friend of mine, who has
naturally black hair and wants to pep it up a little.

I later purchased a warm auburn color that appears to match my
roots better and used it. Looks ok, and the roots aren't
standing out like ganache drizzled on an angel cake, so I
think I will leave my hair be for awhile. Except for a trim,
which I shall be getting tomorrow.

I had a neighbor in the early 1960's, who used to attempt to die her hair
red. Mind you, this was before decent hair die had evolved from the
premordial goo, so it usually came out purplish. This was way before purple
hair was cool. Also, a purple beehive hairdoo only belongs on a member of
the B52's.
