So this blonde business is costing me a LOT of $$$$.   I like it, but I spend too much time and $$$ on my hair, and I am not sure that I like being blonde enough to justify it.

I'm considering going back to brunette or red?
My natural color is dark brown.  Which color do you think looks best? Or other suggestions
Thanks!

 
Some browns/reddish browns

I really like the first red on you.... but this one is my favorite.. it's a darker color but not too dark...

Thos are my pics. I know about the $$ and coloring, btu highlighting your hair should cost less than actually dying the whole thing... shouldn't it?
I really like the above one... I'd go for that. Looks good! Nice and warm...

I like the blonde best on you. Makes you look fresh and glowy. I don't like the darks much on you, they do to you what black hair did to me. Kind of a harsh look. But the third link and your blonde are lovely.

The best color in my opinion is two shades lighter than your natural color with a touch of warmth.  I'd go with a medium brown and a few carmel highlights to frame your face.  Please don't go darker!

I do like you as a blonde.
 
I think you should stay light, maybe a light brown.

I think if you do go darker,the first one with some red in it will look best.
 
If you just go straight from blonde to brown,it may be a bit of a shocker and you wont like it.
My advice is go gradually. A light brown with some red.The roots wont be as noticeable,and you will still have slightly lighter hair.
 
You do look quite fetching with the blonde hair though....But if you get it done professionally every month it can cost alot.

Blonde looks good.  Have you considered growing your hair out to the style in your sims?  That would look smashing on you!!

I like the third one down. The darker blonde is really nice on you.
