I have Auburn hair, my own. but it looks brown,unless i am in the sun. Never dyed my hair..but have gray coming in..i think it looks like highlights ;)
I do a "driveby" to get my hair cut..so i can't imagine getting an appointment to get it colored too!
i grew up with all men around me and my grandma..worked in a steel mill doing a mans job, so dying hair, makeup and clothes are not in my genes...
