Have I made a terrible mistake going blonde? (With pics)

Just went from brown-ish to blonde a few days ago and I am really not sure I like it!! I am seriously considering to go back to the hairdresser and dye it darker again.

Mumsnetters, please give me your honest opinion! Should I stay blonde or go back to brown?

PS: I am terribly un-photogenic, so please forgive the odd facial expression in both images Grin

You look amazing!
I prefer the brunette tbh but it might be the style of that I prefer too?
Keep it blonde for abit and see how you feel

sprinkleofsunshine · 13/10/2018 10:13

I think the blonde suits you better but look great in both!

Queenofthedrivensnow · 13/10/2018 10:14

I think the longer style with the blonde pic is a bit Mumsy on you. The short crop is really striking and makes it all about your eyes which are great. I don't think the colour makes much difference just the cut. Blonde crop would look amazing.

Ps you are really stunning

CoperCabana · 13/10/2018 10:15

Thinking about it though, you are giving it more attitude in the brunette photo. If you did the same in the blonde, you would probably look just as edgy.

somewheresorted · 13/10/2018 10:18

I have to say that I prefer the brunette on you, Makes your eyes stand out more, but the blonde look good!

MillieCats · 13/10/2018 10:18

I think the blonde ages you. Brunette is stunning!

Kay2705 · 13/10/2018 10:19

wow you are beautiful! Prefer the shorter cut and brunette but the blonde is lovely too!

TrixLestrange · 13/10/2018 10:20

The blonde looks so much better

Gloved · 13/10/2018 10:21

You look fantastic in both pictures.
I personally prefer the brunette but that’s because I prefer an edgier look, it’s about the cut too.
The blonde looks great, just a bit...safer?
The brunette colour and style makes more of a statement and gives a stronger impact with your overall look, whereas the blonde is just nice hair.

MrsCar · 13/10/2018 10:21

I much prefer the brunette. It's your eye colour that suits brunette

mimibunz · 13/10/2018 10:22

I think you’re gorgeous in both colours! Sassy hair! Smile

princesstiasmum · 13/10/2018 10:23

You look lovely, and the blonde suits you better,
After used to being dark, going blonde takes some getting used to,
I went from dark to blonde and it was a shock at first, but wouldnt go back to dark again, and remember ,blondes have more fum,[so they say]Wink

user1490465531 · 13/10/2018 10:23

Wow your so pretty.
Blonde lights up your face more and enhances your features.
I prefer the blonde but you have a pretty face and could get away with most things.

Yonijust · 13/10/2018 10:24

Blonde. Its more striking.

I think the dark makes you blend in with yourself too much!

I know what I mean Grin

bedtimestories · 13/10/2018 10:25

I thought the blonde photo was a mis upload and was model from a hairstyle magazine!! I vote for blonde, you could always go lighter in summer and a few shades darker in winter to have a change

Chocrock · 13/10/2018 10:26

Both look great they really do! The different colours change your look completely though. I would say the blonde makes you look well groomed whereas the brunette looks edgy and younger

rhubarbfool · 13/10/2018 10:26

You're lovely either way but I think you're prettier in the blond photo - but it's partly down to your makeup; I think it's all too dark and heavy in the brunette shot.

verite · 13/10/2018 10:27

You have amazing eyes. Both colours suit you. I do prefer the dark hair slightly but I don’t know if that is partly how you have styled it and done your make up (dramatic eyes and subtle lips). But I still think the blonde looks lovely so I would keep it for a while then see how you feel.

TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge · 13/10/2018 10:28

You are a total chameleon! You look gorgeous and edgy brunette and as a blonde you look really beautiful and fresh. Only you can decide which look feels most 'you', personality wise thougg

Sonjing · 13/10/2018 10:29

Omg thank you so much for your nice words!! I am so flattered Smile

I decided to grow out my hair into a blunt bob style, that js why I am currently going through the odd "mumsy" bowl length. Hopefully this phase will be over soon!!

Oooooh where's your necklace from? Team brunette by the way, although you still suit the blonde too.

saganorenscarandcoat · 13/10/2018 10:29

You're stunning with both!

ineedwine99 · 13/10/2018 10:30

The blonde looks gorgeous

Bluntness100 · 13/10/2018 10:30

I agree, the blonde works with your skin tone better. Your length is fine also it doesn't look remotely mumsy. You're very pretty with the blonde.

Labradoodliedoodoo · 13/10/2018 10:31

Both nice. Prefer the brunette.
