I would say level 7. 8is blonde and 6 is brown, you are in the middle

Growlybear83 · 12/06/2024 11:14

Mousey brown

HousedInMySoul · 12/06/2024 11:13

Definitely get a dark blonde hair dye, light brown will actually go dark brown, ime with box dyes

ComfyBoobs · 12/06/2024 11:11

But the label doesn’t really matter surely?

Just show your hairdresser a picture of your natural colour or if doing a home dye find a colour which matches.

Anything else is just branding.

Isn't your hair currently bleached/highlighted though? Therefore lighter than it is naturally???

Yes, so I want to get rid of the bleach and have my darker natural mousey hair back.

I was thinking I'd have to choose a dark blonde hair dye, my husband thinks brown.

This is my hair colour currently, I want to get it dyed back to it's natural colour,
I was asking on here because my husband insists that my natural colour (in the original post) is brown, I disagree.

Mousey brown

If you don’t want to bleach it then I imagine spending lots of time outside in the sun will give it some blond streaks

This was my hair as a child. Got darker the older I got, but I'd definitely say it's still blonde. I've booked an appointment with the hairdressers, hopefully I can get my blonde back but without the need for bleach.

If you want your hair to be lighter it will need bleach, won’t it?

PomPomtheGreat · 12/06/2024 09:39

Definitely a dark blonde.

RickyGervaislovesdogs · 12/06/2024 09:36

Dark blonde

sashh · 12/06/2024 09:34

I'd say mousy, but a few highlights (sorry it will need to be bleach) will blonde it for you.

HousedInMySoul · 12/06/2024 09:29

Dark blonde

Nicebloomers · 12/06/2024 09:14

Dark ash blonde

I've never heard of that phrase used anywhere outside of The Titanic.

I think it’s what they call Taylor Swifts hair colour and apparently a HUGE trend for 2024…… no idea how I know this, clearly far too much internet for me 🙈

Clawedino · 12/06/2024 09:11

Dark blonde. Looks similar to mine!

Looks brown to me but probably what they call “Old Money Blonde” now.

I think a hairdresser would say dark blonde. Otherwise known as mousey.

Revelatio · 12/06/2024 08:54

It’s definitely light brown, I can’t see any blonde in there. A lot of children’s hair colour is like that, my husband’s was the same and now he’s a very dark brown.

Vermeer · 12/06/2024 08:53

Brown. It’s not in any way blonde. It’s a perfectly nice colour, but not blonde or anywhere near it!

TacCat49 · 12/06/2024 08:48

Definitely blonde OP!

People aren't used to seeing naturally blonde hair, as most people dye it when it starts to go darker. It's very rare to retain a very light blonde naturally - my dad's hair was pure white as a child and this is the colour his darkened to.

This was my hair as a child. Got darker the older I got, but I'd definitely say it's still blonde. I've booked an appointment with the hairdressers, hopefully I can get my blonde back but without the need for bleach.
