what color would you recommend i dye my hair if i have naturally very very dark brown hair (almost black) and very pale white skin?

my hair is down to my shoulder blades.

do you think i could try blonde? or... wouldn't it suit my coloring?

thanks for any input, me x

Making dark hair blonde is very difficult and high-maintenance, and very damaging to the hair. I think for most people it's more trouble than it's worth. You might go a bit lighter brown, or something kind of reddish, but the further you go from your natural shade the more trouble it'll be and the more likely it is to cause damage, so try to keep that in mind.
More awesome than a manatee!

what I did with mine...(I have the same situation...although I no longer have this hairstyle, because of the mantainance)...Is I went to a salon, and I had the color turned to a very light brown, kind of a sandy/ash color. Then, I just had them do all-over chunky blonde highlights :) It gave the impression of being blonde all over, and didn't do half the damage to my hair :)


good luck :)
