I have boring hair - medium quantity, fine texture, shoulder-length. It's not "thin" in the sense that my scalp shows or anything, but it definitely lacks "oomph" no matter what I do. Enter Redken S...

Love it! Comes out a BRIGHT tomato red with pink undertones on me (NC45). Pretty shimmer too. The shimmer tends to stick around after the color is gone, which is annoying, but I can deal. Very goo...
