Dear all,
 
I recently posted my first topic in the hair extensions portion of the site stating that I wanted to add some length and thickness.
 
I am still planning to do this but after booking myself in to get my fullhead highlights redone I have decided I want to go brown!!!!
 
I have been a light golden blonde for 6 years now and cannot remember what my natural color actually is, but I am TIRED of roots and the upkeep and want to try something different.
 
I am a little nervous however and would like to ask if any of you hae pics from blonde to brown or caramelish, could you please post them? :)
 
Thankkyou!!!! :)

I've gone to a "brown" from blonde base with additional bleach and color highlights. I use the Goldwell line, so I basically went from a 9N to a 7N (looks more like a 6N with some 6G tones). Depending on how "light" your highlights are, you might have trouble making the pigment hold. For instance, some of my highlights are still very apparent, although the darker color did hold on the "less damaged" hair, giving me a low light look. Only problem is the virgin root area. I need to put some highlights back in to match the results of the older hair. I would recommend that you ask the member Claude for color advice. I've followed advice from this member with great success, based on the Goldwell line.
Check out Claude's sticky posted in the color forum (not sure exactly where...I'm a newbie too!) about the basics of color.
Good luck!!
