Hairdresser tomorrow - what colour (pics)

I am currently blonde which I am bored off so I am off to the hairdresser tomorrow. I can't decide between brown or a rich dark red, almost brown colour.

Help me decide please.
This is me.

Do you know your colours? I think you can find colour questionnaires on line. That would give you an indication of what tones best suit your skin.

I think you'd suit a dark blonde / light brown.

HairySubject · 16/10/2015 18:29

No idea of my colours, I will go online and have a look. I was thinking of a darker colour to save getting it done so often, I am naturally dark and the roots show really quickly on light hair.

I think you suit the dark colour much better. Hope your appointment goes well

Yika · 16/10/2015 19:42

Light brown with coppery tones. I actually think you suit the blonde.

Blodss · 16/10/2015 20:41

I think you look better as a blond.

Indecisivejo · 16/10/2015 22:07

Defo darker with copper tones would look gorgeous on you, not keen on blonde sorry.

HairySubject · 16/10/2015 22:39

Thanks for the replies, I am far to indecisive to choose my own hair colour.

Can we have a pic after hairdressers please? Go darker with some copper/red will really suit you and perfect for winter. Good luck

Imgivinguponyou · 17/10/2015 07:08

I like you darker too.

Wishfulmakeupping · 17/10/2015 07:09

Dark with copper would look lovely

Talk to your hairdresser carefully about which type of red suits you. I always hated red as ended up with warm coppery red which doesn't suit me. A couple of months ago I went for a "cool" red colour and it's a world of difference and suits me far more.

HairySubject · 17/10/2015 08:09

Oh that's a good idea, the hairdresser should have a good idea.

I wish I knew if I was a warm or cool person!
If I wear mustard, teal, dusky pink and bright red over pastel shades would that make me was or cool?

No idea about colours but you suit being blonde better. What about a caramel colour ala J-lo/ Jennifer Anniston

Dowser · 17/10/2015 09:15

I would suggest some dark low lights just to break up the block of blonde colour. I always feel its better to do things in stages.

It will look quite natural as though you've have blonde highlights. As we go into winter and lose that summer glow your skin will look paler and going too dark all at once will be a shock to you system.

Remember why you went blonde in the first place.

I did it because I felt my hair was too dark for my pale skin and felt it dragged me down.

Just saying ;-)

HairySubject · 17/10/2015 09:26

I never meant to go blonde, it just ender up that way after having highlights a few times over summer. I will probably do it again next year but I think a break from the bleach will do my hair good and I like a warm colour for autumn/winter.

I do get what you mean about it being a big shock though.

Looking forward to pic :)

CreviceImp · 17/10/2015 11:34

Ou are wearing warm and cool colours so I would go with a neutral mid chestnut brown. Around 5.3.

Dowser · 17/10/2015 12:39

I had highlights at college by the students. They ran out of time as it was lunch break so the colour never processed properly ( and they let me go home like that....another story!)

Anyway, I was really upset about it and went back the next day. Thankfully the head tutor was in and took hold of the situation. He put in low lights and it looked fantastic. Best ever really.

It went from a funny chicken colour....the students words..to a lovely mix of blonde and warm brown.

HairySubject · 17/10/2015 15:32

Well I am back! I am soooooo happy with my new colour but do feel free to be honest I have the skin of a rhino.

Totally gorgeous colour. You look fantastic, you've found your colour.

HairySubject · 17/10/2015 15:41

Thanks Merde I think this will see me through the autumn/winter. I love it.

Lovely -really suits you but you need a brighter lipstick like Revlon Certainly red.
