Hello all:) Please read through and reply with any tips, suggestions, or just your opinion. I appreciate them all!

Right now, I have highlighted blonde hair.. here's a photo.
 
My natural hair color is an ashy, super light brown/dirty blonde. As you can see, my roots are significantly darker than the dyed color. I've been looking at my dull, damaged, fried, breaking hair and I'm tired of it! I absolutley LOVE being blonde, the attention from guys, being different from the croud, and just because I like the color, but I'm getting tired of it!! I'm tired of looking fake and well.. tired! My hair is naturally wavy and frizzy, and between that and the damage from having highlights for the past 7 years.. (yes, bleached for 7 years).. I just don't think it looks as 100% as it could.
 
So, here's where all you wonderful hair experts come in. What should I do? Go brown? I usually put product in my hair and let it be wavy, so being a brunette won't be an issue for me. I have green eyes also.. Momma always says green eyes look exotic with dark hair.. ?
 
A few things to keep in mind, I am keeping my hair rather long.. nothing drastic, but it's mid/upper back. And I have naturally rosy cheeks. It's not rosacia, but my face always has a pink hue. Also, I am thinking of beginning a career in plus size modeling. I have many offers..
 
Thank you for the time, and like I said before, I appreciate ANY help I can get! :)

Hi there,

My suggestion is to use a semi-permanent color with brown, red & honey blonde highlights over the whole head.  Make sure it has Shea Butter, Kernal Oil, Olive Oil, Fruit Oil & Coconut Oil for shine.  Make sure you use a deep conditioner after your new color 1 to 2 times a week for 3 weeks for the best results in handling the dullness, damages & breakage. 
 
This will give you a beautiful overall glow that's cohesive & professional.
 
Good luck!
