So what's your take on that subject?  I personally say it's fine, as long as you know what shade looks good with your skin tone.  I was gonna dye my hair again but I've read alot of negative comments (not here but on other forums) about black women with blonde hair.  I think it looks fine on some people, and I've gotten a ton of compliments in the past, even by white people.  Some say it's a form of self hatred.  Others say it's just self expression.  What's your take?  I welcome all opinions.

I think if you like it do it. It's your hair no one elses so their comments should not matter to you at all.

I think that its your choice. If you want blonde highlights get blonde highlights. Don't let other peoples opinions keep you from doing what you want.

people may as well do to their hair as they wish because i've seen even white women who look better as brunettes and not blondes so who's to say a black women can't look good with blonde or red hair?

Thank you everybody!  I just wanted to see what everyone else thought about it.  I'll post pics when I'm done with it later on.

Can't wait to see the pics. I don't care what color people want their hair...it dont belong to me so I don't have much say over it.

Just as jet black hair doesn't look great on everybody, I think as long as it complements your skin tone-- go 'head on!  No matter your race. 

 

But its up to you ultimately!

As far as the self-hatred angle...screw that...It would be grand if eveyone choose a hair color that suited them individually, but its a free world and if it makes you happy I say go for it...thats all that matters! Besides there are a lot of shades of blond, some dark people have blond hair naturally anyhoo.

Yep Renee, I'm from myspace!

 

I posted the pics under a new thread called "before & after".

Sistaslick I agree with you on that front. I've seen alot of black women that are lighter skinned and the jet black/dark brown is too harsh looking.
