I actually think Jessica Simpson would look good with dark hair. Her eyes are brown afterall, and she is not a natural blonde. I think we are just so used to seeing her blonde that we can't picture her dark.
True, probably a medium brunnette shade would look good on her, but her tan is so dark that i don't think certain shades would be "striking" enough on her, if u know wht i mean. I could picture her w/ a chocolate brown.
I think I definitely picture blondes/brunettes differently-- but only when I can tell it's dyed that color. I think that a lot of girls tend to play to the stereotypes, rather than act as victim to them. Like, a lot of the girls in college seem to want the attention that blondes get, and they want the image that goes along with being blonde. Friday night, party night, almost all the drunk girls I see coming back into the dorms are blonde. I think a lot of girls want the image associated with their hair color, rather than just genuinely liking it.
I used to dye my hair black, and I loved it, but I ended up changing it because of the image associated with jet black hair on caucasians. It's something you can't really get around.
hey girl, d'you color your hair?

Ive been every color under the sun, and in all honesty Ive been told I was beautiful a lot more with dark hair. Ive never really expireanced any sterotyping as far as haircolor goes. how silly.

I didnt go through all 3 pades of replies so hope Im not beating a dead horse here. I am a natural baby blonde with blue eyes. I grew up with men thinking for one, I was a ditsey blonde with big boobs and no brain, and two, I would get too much unappropriate attention from me. So do I think men treat bruntettes different than blondes yes. I liked being a blonde in the summer because I was at the beath or pool alot and I felt Barbie Dollish with my tan and blue eyes. During the winter I go a darker color which makes me seem warmer and more exotic. I think every color looks good on certain people. My sister is a natural red head with hair down to her butt. Her hair is very curly and she is very fair complected. She looks great with her color on her skin tone.
I am normally a warm complexion so right now I have black hair with very ligh blonde highlights and a panel of red underneach in the very back. I like to be different colors at different times. Like right now I just cut all of my hair off. After spending 140.00 dollars on color I cut most of the color off. I am even going shorter this weekend with more of a spikey cut. I combine 2 or more cuts into one single cut so I am original looking. Dont you just hate seeing lots of people wearing the same cut as you? So I mix and match my cuts. Its only hair, it will grow back haha.
Well I just wanted to add my .02 to this.

Not me. I do not like looking like everyone else. I tend to lean toward odd or weird hair cuts. I also like chaning them often. I have yet to find my "PERFECT" hair cut. I change with the seasons, colors and styles. I just showed a picture of a hair cut I designed to a so called FRIEND of mine and she ran out and got her hair cut like that before I had a chance to. Made me so angry. Took me 3 weeks to completely finish working on the design of this hair style and I felt as though this may be my perfect cut. It combined the aspect of long hair and short hair and conveinance and now its gone. haha Not too worried about it. I should shave my head and see if she does it as well.
Come to think about it, I think she is trying to steal my identity haha It happens. Oh well, I guess I should take it as a compliment. lolol
I'm naturally brunette but usually go through a blonde phase about once a year (as well as a red phase, a dark phase, a curly phase, etc, etc...), and I immidiately notice a difference in reaction after bleaching... Although that could have to do with a multitude of factors. It may simply look better on my complexion, it may be that I prefer a solid, super-light look (which is much more uncommon than a few highlights or chunks, which the majority of women in this small city seem pleased with), or it could be attributed to, as someone mentioned above, the fact that I FEEL more confident, therefore carry myself better. I like to think it's a nice healthy combination of the three, although I think the third explanation has more to do with it than anything.
I'm thinking about going blonde again on Friday, actually... it's about that time of year again.

I've been both Blonde and Brunnett and I defo prefer Brunnett, apart from the fact that brown hair looks healthier than blonde hair I also think that girls with brown hair look more unique....so many girls have highlights or blonde hair and mainly because they think they'll look more attractive because of it, but to have brown hair and still look attractive is more appealing I think, anyway there are way too many blondes in the world.
Brunnett hair rocks.

my hair color is black right now and i have gotten endless comments on how beautiful and "exotic" i look, but ive also been every color under the sun, i think its how you allow yourself to be precieved, i have a friend who is petite and blond and we both get hit on the same amounmt i think some people including myself look better with dark tones. also some men prefer one color over another. sorry just thought i would join in the disussion
Everyone, including myself :) agree that red hair suits me waaaay more than my nat. black hair! Its soo strange that something "not natural" on me makes more look and (feel) better. I'm not even michael jackson plae yet lighter reds suit me a lot! I guess i'm just unusual in that sense, hehe. Anyways, I;ve never looked at blondes or brunnettes in different ways, the onyl thing i notice is if there's someone exceptionally good-looking. I mean, who doesnt? In guys, I tend to like the dark haired ones more but not always, like certain guys look better w/ light blonde hair and darker eyebrows (hehe hot!) Anyways here's an example: Most pple might tend to think of a popular high-school cheerleader girl as blonde, not the case, I've seen in movies that this role is played by blondes and brunnettes alike, and I guess its just a matter of who's the 'prettier' face. Does any1 know where I'm coming from?
