#14 Deep Auburn Hair with Blonde Highlights
This deep auburn hair with blonde highlights is one of my favorites. My client has natural level 7 strawberry blonde hair, so I did a lowlight with two reds – one a red copper and the other a red violet. Auburn red with blonde highlights can be quite a commitment. A striking, stubborn commitment. Red fades fairly sooner than other more “natural” shades but stays better the more you color it like that.

I foil it all, rinse with cold water, and wash with color-safe shampoo, and I experience no issues with it bleeding!
