So I'm toying with the idea of dying my hair red and I would like to see various shades and how they look with different skin tones. I have fair skin with golden undertones and suggestions are greatly appreciated! I'll post a pic in my profile so you can see my skin tone and natural hair color.

if you are interested in the henna-red shades, there is a thread in the natural haircare forum dedicated to hennahead photos. I am naturally a light 'tawny' blonde with pink/blue undertones in my skin and I quite like the way Jamila henna turns out on me, but my friend who has olive skin didn't like it on her.

Feel free to check out my album (http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/album.php?albumid=5683). I'm naturally a strawberry blonde, and I started using henna about a year ago to cover my totally gray temples. My hair appears various different colors based on the lighting.

I have pale skin and I don't really know what colour undertones my skin has, maybe you can tell me! But my natural hair colour is an ashy light brown and I adore red hair. Pictures are in my album.

And I recently dyed my hair with Crazy Colour Fire and Directions Rose Red mixed so it's a little darker and pinky, I'll post a picture of that later :)

Thanks for posting! I think you have golden undertones :) I love the second picture from the top, that color looks like you were born with it! :D

You're very welcome!

And the lights in my bathroom in that last picture make my hair look REALLY REALLY red... it has a lot more brown/blonde in it than the picture implies!

This is my newest red hair with Manic Panic's Infra Red. I dyed it 2 or 3 weeks ago and it's still very vivid! I dyed it on top of henna.... the henna didn't make my hair red though, it only made it orange, which I didn't like... I think it was orange because my hair had blonde highlights from the summer sun.
