Hi, I am a natural blonde and have been for my whole life. I have always wanted to try and be a brunette though, but I dont know if it would look good on me. Here are some pics: These are really recent, I ahve low lights in my hair, so It is usually lighter, but I havn't got a haircut in 2 months: http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a33/Boofyisme/ChelseaPics011.jpg - http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a33/Boofyisme/ChelseaPics01 1.jpg http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a33/Boofyisme/ChelseaPics022.jpg - http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a33/Boofyisme/ChelseaPics02 2.jpg http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a33/Boofyisme/ChelseaPics010.jpg - http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a33/Boofyisme/ChelseaPics01 0.jpg http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a33/Boofyisme/ChelseaPics008.jpg - http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a33/Boofyisme/ChelseaPics00 8.jpg http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a33/Boofyisme/ChelseaPics005.jpg - http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a33/Boofyisme/ChelseaPics00 5.jpg This Pic is like 8th grade, have no idea what I was thinking..it was the darkest I ever was and shortest: http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a33/Boofyisme/ChelseaPics026.jpg - http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a33/Boofyisme/ChelseaPics02 6.jpg And 7th grade...totally virgin long hair..I was such an idiot to cut it, ithe bottom color was the entire color of the hair...some weird shadow is on the roots: http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a33/Boofyisme/ChelseaPics028.jpg - http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a33/Boofyisme/ChelseaPics02 8.jpg So do you think I would make a good brunette or should I stick with the blonde? ------------- Chelsea~* www.myspace.com/chelsea_nicole_boyd Hair Type: 1a/1b-N-ii |

You're trying to link to pics on your computer. You'll have to upload them somewhere online and put a link to that so we can see them. ------------- More awesome than a manatee! |

Yes it probly works for you because the pictures are on your computer. But the pics arent on our computer so thats why we cant see them. Just go to http://www.photobucket.com - www.photobucket.com and create an account there, then upload your pictures on there and when you get your pictures uploaded, there will be 3 links below the pictures, if you want your pictures to show up on the actual message here, then copy and paste the link that says Img. If you just want a link to your picture, just copy and paste the Url one. Also if you are going to post them on here you may want to resize them or they will be reeaally big. G'luck. ------------- |

You definitely have the skin tone for blonde hair! But you can also be brunette without a problem either. But I think the blonde looks great on you IMHO. And you will darken with age as well so stay blonde as long as you can!  But I think you could be great as a brunette as well; I'm not helping you am I?!  ------------- Rachel |

Your natural color is very pretty, Man everyones natural color looks best on them, my poor hair will probly never get back to my natural color On Clairols website you can upload ur pic and put different colors, and hairstyles on ur pic and mayb u can try going there and doing that, its called Clairol's Try It On Studio. I dont know, that may help u decide. If u find a color that best suits u then they will tell u what color to get. Here is the link, you just have to sign up. http://www.clairol.com/security/login.jsp?dest=/try-it-on-studio/process_tios.jsp®loc=tios - http://www.clairol.com/security/login.jsp?dest=/try-it-on-st udio/process_tios.jsp®loc=tios I did it, it was pretty funny..... they have some wacky hairstyles. I dono you can see what u look like as a brunette. Hope it works for ya. ------------- |
I think either color would look great on u. And the color in ur 8th grade pic isnt bad at all, I like the streaks, I actually like it the best :) Posted By: LostForever

If you decide to go Brunette i think it would look awesome and it's always
nice to have a change. Just remember to choose a cooler, "ash" brown rather than a warm gold brown. |

Since you're naturally blonde, very dark hair could wash you out. So maybe try a medium brown. . . although, for fair warning, it'll probably look way too dark at first. That seems to be normal, and should fade to look more like the box in a week or two. It might also help to pick something a shade or two lighter than you think you want. Then, if you want it darker, try the next deepest shade next time. ------------- More awesome than a manatee! |

Thanks for the advice Kuroneko and every one else. I want to try a semi or demi permanent of a bruenette shade. However since my hair is so light would it permantly dye it, and make it never go back to the orignal color if I hate it? Is their any products out there that are desgned for experment to see if you want to change your hair color? What exactly is Henna (I thought it was a washable tatoo) would that be an option? Wow I have a lot of questions, any help would be greatly welcomes! ------------- Chelsea~* www.myspace.com/chelsea_nicole_boyd Hair Type: 1a/1b-N-ii |

You are so young...and you have such pretty hair...I would definitely leave it the color that you have!! Once you dye it is so hard to just go natural again. -------------

Good luck with whatever you decidePosted By: aubergine

Go for it, I did, you only live once. I have naturally blonde hair but it's more pale and light than your natural colour. I hated having blonde hair, and I actually suit my current dark brown hair better. (I've even had it red/black/purple/blue - all looked great) Good luck, treat your hair nice, Louie |

Just bewarned that coloring ur hair can develop into somewhat of an addiction! The first time dyed my hair when I was 13 back in '99 and I've hooked since!
