Please help me with hair colour advice!

[crazydogmum]

So I have been highlighting my mousey brown hair since my teens. I'm now 39 and getting a bit bored of the same colour! It's always been a slight variation on the same style and colour except for a period when I went very dark which was a big mistake as it looked very severe on me!

I have some spare cash and want to treat myself to something new before winter comes. Had a crazy idea of an ombré colour with some lavender/blue colour (see attached pic of me I altered in one of those apps). Thoughts?! I have green eyes by the way.

The other idea I had was to go for a mid brown with some warmth to it and possibly some blonde bits to break it up a bit.

Anyone have any advice about what might suit me? I just know I will feel cross with myself if I go and get the same colour done yet again, it's time for a change!

Thank you 🙏

Hi- I can't see the picture, has it attached?

Oh sorry , cross post!

That looks lovely!

Sorry hadn't had enough coffee yet 🤪

It suits you. I like it.

I want something a bit fresh and different but not too 'wacky' if you know what I mean. I'm not the type to want to draw attention to myself in the street with something super bright but really fancy being a bit more daring than usual! Although I'm nearly 40 I look young for my age, but hoping I'm not kidding myself and this is too young a look for me!

my daughter has just had her coloured using the balayage technique. i was really nervous about it but it looks amazing! she's had so many compliments.

That does seem to suit your skin tone and it’s very pretty

If anyone has any other ideas for mousey brown hair but nothing that looks too severe for fair colouring I'd be very grateful! I am going to have a consultation first but want to go armed with some ideas.

I really like the lavender but I would be concerned how much staying power it has? You might be back at the hairdressers every other week to keep the colour.

@UpToonGirl that is a good point, thanks. I can't afford to go back too often so this would be a consideration!

The colours on the photo really suit you.
Lavender/Lilac would be simple upkeep. Something you could do yourself.
