Help me pick a hairstyle/colour!

Hello lovelies!

I am desperate for a hair change.. I'm having an overhaul, health and fitness, diet, and now want nice hair!

It's mousy brown, and I'm pale (with a yellow tinge!). I'd love to go dark roots and white-grey mid-length to tips, but it just wouldn't suit, so was thinking pastels?

Any ideas?

Pic attached(taken in the office, can you tell how hard I'm working..!)!

That isn’t mousy ! Beautiful dark blonde colour, why change it ?

BlueMerchant · 27/03/2019 13:59

Agree - that's not mousy!
I wouldn't be changing hair colour.

The lighting must be better! It really is so boring, I hate it!

Or perhaps with the right style I wouldn't be so against it, but I always just end up with a boring bob!

Speak to the manager Bob cut

BlueMerchant · 27/03/2019 14:02

I'd def keep colour.
Maybe some choppy layers? I love that look.

CharlesChickens · 27/03/2019 14:25

Haha Bob Cut is always bloomin' available!!

I asked for choppy layers once, it wasn't what I expected! My last cut I even went in with a photo, came out with the regular flat boring bob!

CharlesChickens aw thanks! It's desperately in need of a cut though, it's been about 18 months...!

I love your hair too OP!

Is it highlighted? If so you could ask your hairdresser to put an ash blond toner in, this will only work on the bleached bits but will give a cooler colour.

Aw thank you @vapourtrail!

@WhoKnew no, no colour in it at all.. I used to colour it regularly, perhaps that's why I'm so bored of the natural look now..!

So, say I don't get it coloured (because you all think it's ok!!) what about a cut? What sort of style is good, easy to 'do' in the morning, can be scraped back in some way for the gym etc.?

I'm at a loss!

I love the colour and pay good money to have mine looking like that Grin

Your hair is lovely!

Um @CustardCream114 millions of women pay a fortune for a hair colour like that!

Just get a few inches off so it's all the same length. If you do colour, don't let it be bleached!

OP did you get your hair done? What did you go for in the end?
