Hey guys, I am a teenager with naturally blonde hair, and about a year ago I bleached it during the summer at a prof. salon, and it was good, but then when the bleached hair was all cut off and gone in a few months, it was nearly brown and actually looked much better. I foolishly highlighted it again not realizing it looked much better brown. I waited and waited for it to go back to brown but after the highlights were gone, it was permanently back to my natural blonde color. I liked the look and forgot all about brown hair. Now I am leaning towards dying it dark brown this saturday. Like dark dark, not black but not so light that you can see man brown pigments. Do you guys think this is a good idea? My eyebrows, although I am naturally blonde, my hair color if it werent for highlighting would be brown right now, and so are my eyebrows, they are the opposite color fo my hair now and stand out, which isnt really a problem. It has been a year since i highlighted my hair. The difference in my hairstyle since it used to be brown, is that my hair is long int he front to my eyebrows, it used to be spiked showing my full forehead. The reason I am having trouble deciding whether I really wanna go through witht his is that if I decide I liked the blonde better it would be alot of work to get the natural look back. I am for sure not bleaching it again, and I only got lucky that I got the natural blonde look back, it might be hard this time. How should I describe the color I want to the stylist I want so that she gives me the right color of brown that I am looking for? here is a pic of the color I am wanting. Oh yeh and if it makes any diffrence my skin is slightly tan, thought that migh thelp. Thanks!

You're right about it being difficult to go back to blonde after dying your hair dark brown. Maybe you should just get it coloured with a demi-permanent for now. Demi-permanents are very gentle. You could try out the dark brown hair without making a long term commitment or causing damage to your hair.

The best way to describe the colour to your stylist is to show her/him a photo.
