The best color

Is there really a good way to know your best hair color. Magazines always recommend trying on wigs, but what wig store will let you do that? I'm naturally dark brown, but always think I look "ill" with that color. I've experimented a lot with colors, and like blonder shades, but then it always seems like you have "roots". Recommendations would be appreciated, including web sites, etc.

i agree with Miss Hair. Highlights--though they need not be necessarily blonde--are a great way to brighten your look and add a new dimension/tonality. When done well by a pro, the results are very natural looking.I have dark brown hair and recently had some honey and caramel colored highlights added. I *love* this change! I am still very close to my natural color, so i needn't worry about roots, plus my hair has a golden aura...very nice! i have fine hair, so the highlighting gave my hair the appearance of more texture, and some more body, too.Highlighting is not something I would recommend you do at home, however. Since you have dark brown hair, the process of lifting that color to a lighter one means you'll go through a scary looking "orange" stage. that's simply the color change process. I recommend you find a reputable salon and pay a little more than you usually might for a salon service--it's worth it! since highlights will last 3-4 months without showing any roots, it makes the process more affordable.good luck! :)
