Hi I wanted to know if you guys can recommend a honey/caramel blonde hair shade, I am dark skinned and want a blonde shade, and would love to have a nice looking hair color not too light, since I dont want it to look ridiculous, in the picture I had light hair that was about 6 months ago and I messed with it and forgot what shade i used, anyway any advice let me know what shade you think would look good |

Look at pics of Beyonce for ideas. She has a similar skin tone and her blondeness goes well with it. ------------- |

You should definatly go for a warm shade of blonde. Like caramel or golden blonde, platinum blonde wouldn't go so well with your skintone. ------------- |

Redken ColorGels in Mango--Its level 06wG....It would compliment your skin really well. If you cant find a salon that uses redken products(you can do a search on their website) you can buy the color at: http://www.sleekhair.com/16025.html - http://www.sleekhair.com/16025.html ....its a golden caramel color, it turned out almost identical to Beyonces color on me.I loved it. Also- If you messed your previous color up with a different one, what color did it turn out?? was it darker? applying a new color over what you just colored it will only make it darker. You may have to bleach and recolor to get what you want. or have you tried a color remover? you can buy them at Sallys-- They take alot of the old color out so you can recolor over it. Anyway, those are the only two ways to relighten hair again after dying it dark aside from adding in highlights. ps: The mango should show up the same color as the highlights in the picture below, may turn out 1 shade darker.if it doesnt show up..let me know.
