Hi everyone,I am 19 and relatively pale. I have red undertones in my skin, however, which makes me a "cool tone." I have ash brown hair and brown eyes. I've always been told that I can't have blonde hair. I, however, realized that there were some blonde colors that I could pull off. I dyed my hair with the intention of being an ash blonde. My hairstylist, however, sort of messed it up. Instead of bleaching my hair, she just added color. This left me with a sort of brassy, almost golden/strawberry blonde color. I've been told that it looks good, but I'm really not so sure. The other color I've been told that I can do is a white blonde. I'm considering going that route. What do you think I should do? What colors work well for pale, cool-toned girls? Would this work? http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3235/3053301893_6b32f97321.jpg
Here are some pictures (sorry, they're sort of ridiculous...but at least you can see my hair)
Before pictures: Brown (first picture without copper highlights, second picture with)

After pictures: Blonde (not sure if it translates well in pictures, remember that it's interpreted as "strawberry blonde")

Thanks in advance!

Wow you have beautiful eyes. Normally I prefer blonde but I think the brown looks really fantastic. You might try some blonde highlights if you want a change.

Thank you :) So you think I should just dye it brown again?

I think a very light blonde would look great of you and it's much easier to maintain with shorter hair like yours. I definitely would consider bleaching. Brown looks pretty on you too but my vote is the blonde.

So what color lighter blonde? I'm not sure what I can do... I mean like, off of this color chart, what would work and what wouldn't? My hairstylist isn't much help, unfortunately http://www.haircolor-tips.com/hair-color-chart-36.html

You could try a platinum blonde although you look stunning as a brunette. Sorry but can't see the colour chart

Just as an update, I've been trying to dye my hair back to brown (I've since decided that blonde wasn't very good on me...) ever since this post and it just hasn't been working for me :( it always fades to orange because of the blonde underneath. I'm working on it!
