I just happened to come across this website, which is very, very tasteful and well done. I am impressed, and many hair/color related sites do not have this sort of class.

I have long hair, and it is dry on ends. Always was like that even when I was in teens and twenties.

It has been colored over the years. Currently, I’ve colored it myself nearly two months ago with a ash golden blonde brown sort of color. For someone who did it herself, not bad. okay. You can see some of my natural hair and the other color jobs under it (those done by professionals, and I am referring to 4-5 inches from ends of hair going up).

I read an article, that I have in my hand entitled “from coppery brown to sun kissed chestnut”. Perfect! My natural color growing up was chestnut brown. I am much older now, and of course I need to cover greys. What I liked about the article is that it shows the before/after photo of the participant client. Her hair has the look my hair did/does–that brassy/orangey/coppery brown. The aricle points out that the coppery redness makes the skin appear more sallow, so the colorist Tammy said she gave the participant an overall mocha base color, which depth and warm shade makes her skin look overall more radiant and her eye color more intense (she has same eye color as me a real light golden brown/hazel sort of color). IN addition, the colorist wove “sun-kissed highlights around Donna’s face to keep the color from looking flat”.

Would you be able to possibly give me some color choices for the mocha base color. I have explained my color, and I have greys that do come in, plenty always in front at somewhat to sides of face. The sun kissed highlights I can attempt to do–perhaps you can offer tips/guidance for that, and perhaps a special comb or brush for them.

Many thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you.
