colour to compliment skin tone (pics)

Hi guys

I am natural blonde with really fair skin and I would like to try a different hair colour which won't make me look so washed out all the time.

Below are some pictures of my current hair colour and skin tone:

As you can see I am deathly pale and my hair looks a bit mousy towards the roots where the sun hasn't been on it as much.

This is my hair under a different light. I prefer the brownish bits underneath to my blonder colour.

I think I would prefer to have lowlights put in my hair rather than have it completely dyed. Though saying that I don't really have any idea how all this works because I've never dyed my hair before in my life! I've always wanted darker hair but I'm not sure what colour would suit my skin tone; would chesnut be ok do you think?

Aww, thank you.

Ok, so from what you're saying I'm thinking that I should maybe go for a light brown? I suppose that since I'm a newbie to all this I could try a wash out colour first and then if it goes horribly wrong I can just wash it out.

Thanks for the advice.

I don't know what happened with the pics, but I've reposted them now.

Ah, so I would end up having to grow the colour out if I dyed all my hair. I've heard others say that if blondes dye their hair they can never get their natural colour back and it goes mousy, is there any truth in this?

Anyway, yeah I'm think light brown lowlights is the way to go. Thanks for your input!

I can imagine it must be a shock going from light to dark, so yes, going for lowlights sounds like the best idea!

Thank you for your good advice, I just have to go for it now.
