Help me make a major life decision

Okay. Not really. It's just my hair, but whatever. I need help. I have a hair appointment at 4:30 and I started looking at pictures to see what style / color I wanted. Every picture I picked out was blond. It was strange. This one is my favorite:


So, what do you guys think? Should I go blond? My hair is still the same way it is in my sig. I need a change.

    DO IT. I seriously considered going platinum when I cut all my hair off. But it just doesn't work well with my coloring. I look better brunette. I think you could totally pull it off though.

  • I think I'd have to see a close up picture with your skin tone to see if it would look good or not. I feel like some natural brunettes look weird with bright blond hair.
  • Maybe try a darker blonde or dirty blonde before going ALL the way blonde?  Just to test the waters a bit.

    That's what I would do, though.  Because I'm a chickenshit.  If you're feeling ballsy, go for it.  The worst thing that would happen is you look weird, and if you do, it's easily dyed back dark.

    Yes. I'm thinking you have the same skin tone as me, Cew. I tried blonde once and it did not work at all. I dyed my hair back to brown the same day.

    That's what I'm worried about. I don't have a better picture of me on my work computer. Damn it.

    Right now, it has copper / blonde hightlights and I hate it. I just feel like it looks so "normal". If I don't go blonde, I 'm going to go darker.
  • Try blonde then!  I mean why not.

    Yeah. I don't want to regret it, but I'm also not worried about it looking too horrible because I can always dye it back the next time. When I cut all of my hair off, I did it on a whim, so I am kind of impulsive when it comes to hair.
  • You KNOW I have to pick Mountain Goat. How can I not?

    So, I have to answer with a resounding YES here. I think you would look amazing!
    I do agree with Birdie on the skin tone thing, but a reputable hair dresser would know whether gold blonde or silver blonde looks better with your skin tone.
  • I think you'd look really great with a rich dark chocolatey color with some subtle auburn highlights, not chunky highlights, but more natural. Or a rich dark color with some shimmery auburn hues.
  • I have been blonde before when I was in highschool, but it was bottle blonde. I'd love to try it with someone who knows what they are doing.
  • I voted 'yes', because I need a hair change too, once it gets to my shoulders I might put highlights in near the bangs just for something different.

  • I'm impulsive when it comes to hair too. I change my style/color like 5 or 6 a year.

    I think if it's something you want to do, then go for it. It's hair--it will grow back and you can always change the color.

    This is exactly what I was thinking. If I don't do the blond, I'm going to do something like this.
  • What do your eyebrows look like?

    I hate platinum blondes with dark eyebrows.

  • You can do it, Star!  Just close your eyes and don't open them until it's done.
  • LOL I think I'd cry while they cut it. I jsut worry because my hair is curly. What if I ended up with a fro?!

    Would you leave your brows darker or would u dye them too?

  • I voted blonde, but you'll need to lighten your eyebrows, I think. I'm with blue; that's an awful look! 

    You'll be so pretty blonde!

    Posted by Starmusica[/QUOTE]

    I would dye them too. Not  too light though because I don't want to look like I don't have any. :)

    And i was worried about the fro thing too because I my hair is curly, but when I cut it all off, I cut it so short that the curl went away. It was glorious!
  • I voted blonde. I think you'll get a lot of comparisons to Sharon Stone as a blonde, but even as a brunette, I think you look a lot like her.

  • Thanks Dmiller! Sharon Stone is hot. I would love to be compared to her.

    Alright. I'm heading out. Wish me luck. I'm still not sure what I'm going to do, but if I go blond, I'll come back with pictures. Thanks so much for everyone's advice!
  • Oooh! Go blond, then come back and show us how amazing you look.

  • Hey guys! Thanks again for all of your help. Just wanted to give you an update. I went in with the picture of the blond and my hair dresser told me that he thought it would look great, but he wouldn't have time to do it because I had somewhere that I had to be at 7:00. So, I decided to go in the opposite direction and went with the cut in that picture, but with black cherry as the color. It's basically black with a really warm red color that shows when light shines on my hair. It's also sort of purple. I don't have  any pictures, but this pretty close to the color (it's not quite as violet). I actually really like it.

  • PICTURES... when you have time :) Sounds gorgeous :)
