Ginger.
We just had a bit of a hair crisis, here.
My sister is known for being a fake!ginger. She usually sports orange orange hair, which is the result of mixing two different orange punky dyes with pure orange pigment and applying it over bleach. As you may imagine, this is time consuming, even with her hair being shorter now. So she decided to go for a bit of a change and switch back to box dye. They don't seem to favour bright coppers anymore, so we picked a 'copper blonde' that showed on the back of the box something rather bright and close to what she used to use.
Well.
It went... brownish, with a hint of ginger. It was frankly ugly, and my dear and beloved sister wailed from the bathroom:
"THIS IS THE SAME COLOUR AS MY PUBES!"
The story has a happy ending - her hair is now a rich Rita Hayworth-esque red. Since she's come from an unnatural hue, it's taken a few hours for her t get used to it but I'm confident that by tomorrow she'll love it. We may perk it up just a touch with some of the leftover vegetable punk orange, but it really is beautiful.
