I desperately need a new haircut and a colour - I'm about to start a new job and be a bridesmaid! I'm 32 with shoulder length straight-ish brown hair. Pale colouring with blue eyes.
I never know what to do with the colour - naturally it's a mousey brown, but I'm getting a good few greys through now. I've coloured it myself a few times to a darker brown which I kind of like but it always tends to get a reddish/gingery hue after a while (golden brown a friend very nicely called it) so at the moment it is half 'golden brown' and half mousey brown with a few straggly greys.
I've had it coloured professionally in the past but never know what to ask for...I've had highlights that were just too blonde for me and didn't suit me, 'lowlights' that cost a lot but weren't really noticeable, and a while ago I was convinced to go for a reddish 'slice' in the underneath layer, but that just looked odd when I put my hair up!
I just want it to look nice and quite natural but not bland or boring! Definitely not blonde. Should I just ask for an all over colour??
