first time colouring virgin hair! pics!!!

I think when you get orange tones is when a red haircolor is fading, or some blondes have that problem, or when caramel highlights are fading.  I don't think you need to worry about orange, because you'll be trying out a light golden brown color, and since your base/original color is so dark, you may only be able to lift your haircolor one or 2 shades lighter, without using bleach. 

I know what you mean about being bored with haircolor.  That's why I love this board, we all get that way!  If you decide to only color a few faceframing highlights, that would make a big difference (also) instead of doing a full head application.

Let us know what you decide!

thank you Tinkerbelle!:), but i am sooo bored with my hair colour its driving me insane ahh, i might try streaks or even go for a darker brown than in the picture i initially wanted since an ash would wash me out. Ill post pics of the results if i end up doing anything to it lol

IMHO, i think a light ash brown would wash you out.   Your hair is similar to mine in original color, which is dark dark brown almost black.  If you use a drugstore brand dye (which I do and love), be careful that the color you choose says something like "golden" because a lot of drugstore hair dyes have red undertones. When I used L'Oreal preference #6, light brown, it made my hair light auburn (which is what i wanted = to bring out the red).  I don't think red would suit your complexion.

I think you'd look great with some caramel highights around your face.  Which there are some great highlight kits at the drugstore.  If you wanted to lighten your hair altogether, then maybe try a "golden light brown", which is warm to compliment your complexion, rather than "ashy" which may wash you out.  And don't forget to do a strand test! 

Goodluck!!!!

yea i guess so..hmm thats actually a good idea. thanks for the advice Rebekah! as far as eyebrows go, i know my eyebrows are dark, so should i lighten them slightly for a more natural effect?

Go to a salon, I'm sure it wouldn't cost very much to have yoru dark hair lifted a little to a light brown. You can buy OTC dye that is suppose to lift dark hair to a ligther brown. I've never used them, they came out just after *damn them* I started bleaching my hair to blonde. LOL.
Hope things work out for ya.
