Light Red Hair Eek

We colored my hair again today.

Started out putting strawberry blond on it, to take it to red.

Well, it took my roots to a light red. But the rest of my hair was being stubborn and holding onto the dye from the previous session. So I had two toned hair. It did not look good and I was freaking out.

So I convinced my mom to put bleach on the bottom half of my hair, to lighten it. At the last moment she put some on my roots and amazingly my hair is even.

But it's so light! It's red alright...but not the color I had wanted. I want a cherry red, not a natural orangy redish. At first I thought I wanted the deep fake red, but I was worried that I wouldn't like going that dramatic. However, now that I have seen red highlight, and natural red I can say that is definetly what I want.

I wonder what people are going to say when they see me tomorrow.

This is more of the color I want:
