perfect hair color for me? (pic)

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone can help. As you can see, my hair is too different colors right now. At the top there is a large portion of my natural ash dark brown and at the bottom is a brassy auburn color that was a result of fading when I attempted to dye my bleached blonde highlights back to my natural color. Now I'm looking for a new hair color. I don't like to look conventional, I like the high fashion models look-wise so I'm wondering which hair color will be best for me. I think my skin is cool toned because my veins are blue. Maybe ash dark blonde?

I say go with a light-medium brown.... then add dramatic blonde highlights... that way you can see how well you like the blonde, and go from there. YEARS ago I posted pictures of my dark brown hair (though it is soo much healthier and has a ton of shine it really makes my face look very washed out) most people on here said blonde wouldn't work, my skin tone this & that. But because I was determined I put HEAVY amounts of highlights in my hair (have to do it twice to get the level of blonde that I want), people that knew me back then have told me never to let my hair go to dark brown again. I find that the lighter almost platnum blonde the highlights are, the better it looks with my complexion! :) Good luck, post the results!

Hi Karen, are you sure cool blondes will wash my out? I heard the exact opposite. I heard if you are cool tones, ash tones bright your complexion and honey/caramel will make me skin look sick?

Oh, I understand now. Thanks for explaining. I will do a light chestnut then with ash blonde hi lights. Your advice made a lot of sense, thank you!

I don't know ladies but I thought that warm tones are for those with warmer golden complexions and cool tones are for those who have pink in their skin.  There are those of us who have a neutral skin tone, I am one, and we look good in either as long as they are not too dark.  You also look pretty dark, a level 4 or so.  Generally, it's recommended that you not go more than 2-3 levels above your natural color for the most natural result.  You could get away with a blond, level 7 or so.  You would need a 40 volume developer to do it in one step.
