"Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all those who live without love" - Albus Dumbledore

Hi, I'm Laura. I'm a senior in college & I'm slowly deciding what I want to do with my life. I love Harry Potter, coffee, writing, and sleeping (amongst other things). I'll never claim to know everything, but I'm confident in my ability to help people with their problems. Feel free to send me an inbox question; I'll get back to you!




A few thoughts I've gathered from my teenage years (and being on this site for most of them!):
1. If you Google song lyrics, the song will come up 99% of the time.
2. Dress to fit your body type, and buy the size that fits. If you're a size 6, squeezing into a 4 won't make you look skinnier. It makes you look fat when you aren't.
3. You will never regret waiting to lose your virginity.
4. There is such a thing as a stupid question, but we're all allowed to ask them.

Hi everyone!

I want to change my hair and dye it red. I've had it a kind of dark red-brown before and purple which I've liked.

My current skin tone is a light olive. My natural hair colour is mousy brown and my eyes are a darker, chocolatey brown. I was thinking a slightly darker red, like an auburn, or even a burgundy.

What do you guys think?

Personally, I love auburn hair. I used to dye my hair red a lot, but since my hair was so dark already, it made it more burgundy.


Just a warning; red dye is difficult to keep in your hair. You'll probably need to use a low or sulfate-free shampoo to keep the color in. I noticed that dye lasted longer when I used it. If you're worried about a color match and getting the shade right, having it done in a salon the first time could help (if they make your hair the wrong shade, they should fix it for free)


For a true red, you may have to lighten your hair first, which could potentially damage it. Enlist the help of a friend who's good with hair, and wait a couple days and do some deep conditioning before you put the red in.
