well my hair has a naturally reddish tone to it so hopefully the red dye will stick around lol

I will definitely post pics.

Now my only problem... i was going to donate my hair to locks of love but I don't think they accept dyed hair. So if my hair isn't long enough yet I will have to wait.

Hi, Locks of Love will not accept dyed hair (sorry).

But I can tell you that I have dyed my hair auburn for a number of years and because the shade is so close to my natural highlights people don't realize I dye my hair

Go blond it is the easiest...you are just lifting the color...I use Loreal cuz I am worth it!

I have been dying my hair for some years now, and at nearly 51 i am now very gray,but i was finding irritation to my scalp, so was residing myself to staying that way, but since then i have been having my hair done professionally, the one treat i am going to allow myself in my more senior years now and ahead, i get loreal highlights especially for gray hair, and they are fabulous, sure it cost a bit, but honestly after dying my hair myself for years, i would never again, it is worth the hurt to the pocket, i get it done every three months, and sure by then, they are well needing it,but i am not worried if people see i am going gray,just prefer it when it is not that colour, so if you can afford it,i would highly recommend it,i have tried highlight kits and i think they look bad, anyhow that is just my opinion.

Hey, don't feel bad. I had lots of gray hair at 23, so I colored it blonde and when the gray grows in, it mixes w/the blonde and no one can tell. My sister was totally gray at 17. My parents both grayed late in life, mom in her 60's and dad in his 70's. So in this case, it's the parents that caused the kids gray hairs!
