Back to pink...I think!

Hey everyone πŸ™‚

Well after 2 weeks of brown hair I'm bored already so I'm itching to get back to something a little more me!  Over the last year I've done reds and purples so was thinking of going back to pink for a change as I haven't had that for ages, but, I don't know which way to go.

My current colour is a mid to light brown but a quick gentle bleach bath should get it down to a decently light yellowish blonde I would think so should be ok for coverage. (Ignore the very serious face!)

I can get directions colours locally so will probably stick with those but don't know which one to go for...cerise, flamingo pink, rubine, tulip??  I've used all of them in the past so know they are all ok for lasting and don't bleed massively like Rose Red does.  Is there even a major difference between the flamingo and cerise, rubine is lovely and has been a fave in the past but not sure if it's too close to the red/purples I've had recently, or what about a mix of flamingo/rubine or cerise/rubine (not sure if I'm even brave enough for a full on flamingo anymore)....argh, decisions, decisions!

Any opinions greatly appreciated πŸ™‚

A xXx

Flamingo is much lighter and more neon than Cerise. Rose red actually dilutes really well to a similar shade. It only bleeds if you don't dilute it, I use it for pastels and it doesn't bleed at all. Rose Red and Cerise are very similar but cerise is not as pigmented and has less of the neon quality. I love Rose red, it covers any base beautifully, it is such a versatile dye.
If you don't want bright, how about a pastel version? On yellow hair you can get the rose gold tones that are hugely popular right now
