I know it's ombre so it's technically both, but if this makes sense, would you consider someone with this hair a blonde mostly, or a brunette with blinde in their hair. Lol I am so sorry this is worded really strangely, I've had baby brain all day. Also, any idea what level of hair this blonde is? Thank you so much xx

Blonde

Hair grows from the base so regardless of what colour she has in it she is a brunette.
If the tips were pink, would you consider her a pink head?

highinthesky · 20/09/2017 02:39

Brunette - because of the dark head.

Lots of shades of blonde here but the lightest looks like ash to me.

highinthesky · 20/09/2017 02:39

Pink head lol

Reppin · 20/09/2017 02:41

Brunette

Cavender · 20/09/2017 02:42

I'd describe that as brunette.

I know that the top of her head is dark. I'm just asking from a first glance perspective would you consider her as a brunette or a blonde. It's ombre obviously, but she does have more blonde in it than brunette.

And no, I obviously would not consider her a 'pink head' if she had pink tips, but if her pink hair was the same ratio to this girls then yeah I would probably consider her mostly pink haired.

Blonde. And it's gorgeous!

PinkDonuts · 20/09/2017 03:24

That hair is super pretty, hats off to her stylist. From a first glance she seems mostly blonde, so I would probably consider her mostly blonde. As for the level it's quite light and ashy, probably a level 9 or not far off it. Love a good balayage.

Mostly blonde. With high contrast ombre you get the best of both worlds I suppose, but the blonde would capture my eye more than the brown. Beaut x

Squashit · 20/09/2017 07:57

Brunette with massive roots.

Newtssuitcase · 20/09/2017 07:59

She's clearly a natural brunette but her hair is blonde surely.

Laladog · 20/09/2017 08:22

Squashit it's balayage ombre

sashh · 20/09/2017 08:29

Brunette

DumbledoresArmy · 20/09/2017 08:47

Brunette

PinkDonuts · 20/09/2017 09:13

How is it brunette? It's about 75% blonde

Spam88 · 20/09/2017 09:25

I'd say brunette because that's the sort of 'base' colour with the ombré added to it.

Newtssuitcase · 20/09/2017 10:08

This thread is bizarre she clearly has blonde hair at the time of the photo being taken. To describe her as brunette is bonkers.

AmysTiara · 20/09/2017 10:11

I'd say definitely blonde

gingerbreadmam · 20/09/2017 10:12

id say brunette. are you thinking of going that colour?i would think the blonde would be bleached to get it that light and then toned.

dont try this at home.

mummyretired · 20/09/2017 10:16

Brunette. I'd always think of the natural colour if it's visible.

Trills · 20/09/2017 10:31

Can you explain the context of the question?

In what circumstance are you expecting us to categorise her?

I don't generally go around thinking "that person is blonde, that person is brunette".

ALittleMop · 20/09/2017 10:34

neither
its a mixture
don't understand why you ask or why it matters?

ALittleMop · 20/09/2017 10:34

is it for OLD or something?

TonicAndTonic · 20/09/2017 10:38

Brunette - I'd tend to assume (probably wrongly) the colour nearest the roots was the natural one.
