Need new hair color, what to do with my due?

Question

My natural hair color is dark.. dark brown, but right now it is a light red/brown color. I am so bored with my hair. If my natural color is so dark, would blonde be a bad idea? What can I do to give myself a new stylish look that would look good? If blonde is the way to go, how would I go about that? Every time I got to the salon they say I am too dark, but I see tons of women that do it? HELP, I need a new look. ( I have fair skin and light green eyes, my hair just passes my shoulders)

Answer 1

I think you would look good blonde, maybe you can layer it or flat iron it too. Just make sure to get a good stylist not SuperCuts or anything. Remember: Let em stare that's what haircuts are for! Good Luck!

Answer 2

try a light brown nutmeg with carmely blond hilights and gradual lowlights, gradually get more blond and see if you like it. if you do end up with blond, do a carmel color with lightbrown/cinnamon lowlights, so the blond isnt too different from your skin, i think that dark brown is probably, if you want your natural color back, just ask them to dye it the same as your hair. that way when it grows out you wont have roots. i myself love dark brown hair

Answer 3

Answer 5

You don't want to go more than 4 shades lighter than your natural colour. You could add highlights to just lighten it up, and then wear yoourmake up dark. Cut it so that it has layers that fall down to yoru shoulders at most, with chin length bangs.

Answer 6

Naturally dark hair, light green eyes and fair skin?  OMG, why do you want to change your hair color at all??  That sounds like an incredibly beautiful combination of coloring.  Besides, too much color treatment of your hair can damage it.  The chemicals necessary to take a dark hair color to blonde are extremely harsh.

Answer 7

It sounds like you have the right coloring for blonde hair.  You hair may be dark but you can still dye it blonde.  Just have them totally bleach it out and then dye it the shade of blonde that you want.  Good luck!

Answer 8

Dark hair is hard to lighten and the possibility of your hair turning to gold or orange is huge.  I have this favorite color if you have no problem going darker.  I've done it on several people and they absolutely love it and it will make your eyes stand out.  The color is a mixture of 2.  It is a dark red/brown almost on the blackish side.  Inside your color will look shiney brown, outside super shiney reddish brown.  It's really an amazing color.  I'll give you the formula, don't let them use a different brand it won't be the same.  It is half 56r and half 68r by clairol.  The girls I did it on had the most compliments of their lives.  I hope you like it!  Have fun.

Answer 9

If you dye your hair blonde your going to need to keep getting it re- dyed because your roots will grow in your natural color..

i'd stick with dark.[=

Answer 10

Maybe first try light brown with blonde highlights that way you get a little taste of blonde and also try ulta a bit pricey but that salon is good.

Answer 11

Give yourself highlights, but don't do red, I think that blonde would be to extreme, maybe highlights

Answer 12

you could always go with blonde highlights, or even put blonde underneath your brown hair.

Answer 13

Blonde would be good on you except...within 2 weeks you would have dark roots(which would look even darker because of the light ends). From your description, I would suggest maybe having foils done, alternating a medium red/auburn with either a chocolate brown or a brighter red(think Debra Messing). Or, if you really want blonde, maybe try a strawberry or caramel shade weaved throughout your entire head. That way, your roots wouldnt be as noticeable when they started to grow in.
