What should I do with my hair for the school prom (please read the additional info)?

I have naturally blonde hair (and hating it) which I dye copper every 6 weeks with temporary hair dye.





My prom dress is lilac and was bought a while back when the prom tickets were first on sale back near October-time, before I persuaded my mum to let me dye my full hair instead of just highlights.





Mum says that red hair will clash with lilac, and therefore I should have my hair another colour, I haven't tried the dress on recently so I don't know if it will clash or not.





I suggested an auburn colour, or at the very least a reddish-brown but she says blonde will work best. You'll have more luck getting me to go bald than with hair with any blonde in it.





If I go too dark brown/black it will take forever to get it back to red, and I kinda agree on this, although I would rather it be brown, or even black, than blonde.





My sister has tried light browns recently, and they've come out really dark and her natural hair is only slightly darker than mine.

Blonde will work best with lilac...your Mum is right...cool colours go best with red hair...especially green.
Reply:i don't think it should matter what color your hair is. its all about the up do.. and how u present yourself. if u like your hair the way it is. then leave it alone and find the jivest up-do


u could get. and rock it girl....
Reply:there is a famous saying - mum knows best. in this case i truly believe that as blonde hair really does go best with lilac clothes. if you truly wish to have red hair though and don't want it to clash with your dress then change your dress to an emerald green - green is a great colour for redheads, here are some ideas: http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=14677...
Reply:It depends on the tone of red you have your hair. I personally am I huge fan of red hair. My hair won't turn blonde without destroying it. I'm a hairdresser and color expert. All purples have some red in them. So unless your red is toward the red-orange or copper side, I would bet that you will be fine. A lighter brown with a red undertone would be nice also. However, since you have already dyed your hair a few times, go to a salon. It will be worth the money! I would suggest getting some spray silver glitter for your hair also. It looks wonderful with updo's and will accentuate the color of your dress, esp. if you have silver jewlry to go with it. Just remember we are not all barbie dolls. Blonde is not always better. If YOU are more of a redhead in spirit, be yourself. There is beauty just in that.
Reply:Keep it simple, one thing I regret about my prom, is the fact that I think I did too much to my hair.


Try the dress on and see how it looks with your current hair colour, tbh, I don't think the colour will matter too much if it's brown or blonde or black alongside lilac.


Get a good style, that will help more then the colour.
Reply:well if you dont want to go full on brown go with a blonde brown shade you no the ones with tint of brown in so then your not fully blonde





blonde would look best yes
