Copper Hair - At Home Highlighting with Revlon Frost & Glow Kit

Hi! It's been a while, I know...I kind of got into a routine and just haven't been changing much or trying many new things.

As you know, I've been dark red since about September of last year. While I still love being a faux redhead, I did start to get a little bored of the shade and felt it was a little too rich for spring. So...I busted out the tried and true Revlon Frost & Glow kit and gave myself a little at home highlight. I only did my crown section following the pattern on the cap and left the underneath solid deep red.

I love the results, it left me with a much more copper tone all over and very even and vibrant results. I've been using purple shampoo a few times a week to keep it copper and not the color ORANGE...that's a very fine line and one I don't want to cross.

I'm sure this is the start of eventually ending up blonder all over, because blonde is an addiction and once I start I just want MORE AND MORE AND MORE until I hate it and go dark again, but for now I really do love this color and don't feel the need to immediately change it.

I've done several other posts on Frost & Glow by Revlon, I'm a serious, long time supporter. I have one post with detailed step by step instructions here if you are interested: Frost & Glow Tutorial

  1. I like the lighter color, but I am still a fan of the bolder, brighter red. What hair color did you use for the bright results? I remember you posting about the Clairol Flare.

    1. Yep, in my post from September about Crimson hair I list what products I used then. By the end I was just using the 6RR and the 5B from Clairol Flare mixed 50/50. The 6RR is very very orangey red without something else to ground it.

  2. I'm planning on a vibrant red color on my hair again but if I use the RR it is too red. If I use a V it's too violet. Would you say that half of each would give the proper balance?

    Also will the Flare color keep for a couple of weeks after having the seals popped, so the rest can be used later or would I need to just get new tubes?
