Hi fellow boutiquers!
 
I've been a lurker for a while and decided I would write here for the first time for advice/opinions!!
I am naturally medium/light brown but for the past few years have gone dark brown (for some reason it suits my complexion better)
Now I have been having the urge to go blonde! Problem is I had this urge about 6 years ago and it ruined my hair!! seriously my hair looked and felt like straw and I looked v washed out!! Why do I want to do this again!! I was blonde (well dark golden blonde) as a child and was thinking it may look good?
I'd love your honest opinion on whether you think I should hit the bleach and if so how light I should go!! Or whether you think I should stay dark!
Thanks in advance Smile and hope you all have a great day! This is my hair below atm

I'd also be interested in advice from anyone who has similar colouring to me and successfully went blonde or regretted it..
 
TIA

You look really good with dark hair, but with your complexion, I think you would also  look good with extra light ash or platinum. I have the same coloring and have light blonde hair. :)

I think dark hair and blue eyes is a beautiful combination! I think you look very nice now.I can understand the feeling of getting bored with one's self though.
Why not try for some blonde highlights first? It's a bit less of a commitment and doesnt have to be colored quite so often as all over color.

I like the dark hair.I think certain people look good with blonde hair.I'm a fan of dark hair though.Like Juleyjul88 said, maybe a few highlights would look good.Plus blonde all over is a pain in the ass.When I was blonde I got in a habit of coloring it every 3 weeks, because of the roots.So, I got tired of it.If I could have my hair as dark as yours. I would.I'm a light golden brown or dark blonde naturally.Good luck girl! :)

If i were you I would stay dark maybe add some bugandy highlights like a dark red brown i have always liked that  color mixed with dark brown. You would look good blond too but i honestly think you would hate it after you got it there and wanted to go back darker. besides your hair looks really healthy dont ruin it by tryin to go blond you look fine a dark color Wink
