What colour is my hair?

I know it's brown but what shade etc?
I want to browse some colours for when I go to the hairdresser. It's completely natural except the very ends where I've grown out my last colour and this is in natural daylight
Thanks

Old potato.

ChardonnaysPetDragon · 23/04/2021 14:45

It’s very lovely hair.,

OneCalamerra · 23/04/2021 15:35

Clairol medium chocolate brown or dark chocolate brown?

seensome · 23/04/2021 15:39

Chestnut brown, you have quite a lot of red.

DinosaurDiana · 23/04/2021 15:40

It looks dark ginger to me.

FindingMeno · 23/04/2021 15:41

Chestnut.
It's beautiful!

LadyEloise · 23/04/2021 16:00

Brown with red lights, so chestnut.

Ah thanks all.. I always wish my hair was less silky as it's very fine so want a nice colour to make the most of it.
Just need to decide on what to have now 🤔

Auburn.

Your hair is a lovely colour.

Any suggestions to make even more of my natural colour. I've got green eyes and fair skin.. I freckle in the sun and burn easily.
Will do some research later but any ideas welcome

I would put some scattered high and low lights in copper tones

FindingMeno · 23/04/2021 16:25

Don't change the colour!!!
Wear olive/khaki/ green which will set off your eyes and hair beautifully.

Mermaidwaves · 23/04/2021 16:26

Auburn, it's a beautiful colour! I think I would leave it alone as it's such a lovely rich shade Smile

I don't want to change the colour..
more enhance it and make it look even better. I have some greys too but want something that can grow out and not be obvious

Wow holy grail colour. It’s absolutely beautiful! If I were you I’d add some more warm lowlights for a really enviable subtle red

I hardly wear khaki/ olive so will have a look at those Smile

Amyheadache really? Wow thank you.. I've always though my hair was boring Grin

It's gorgeous!!! Don't change it at all.

Seaoftroubles · 23/04/2021 17:03

Don't do anything, it's beautiful! A stunning dark chestnut, and looks in great condition too. My daughters natural hair colour is like yours and she gets tons of compliments and gets asked all the time what she uses on it.
I can't believe you think of it as boring, it's gorgeous!

I do get compliments but I guess i always thought it was "just brown"
I will have a look at some suggestions as I'd love to make it really stand out!!

Chestnut. Beautiful.

Gwenhwyfar · 23/04/2021 17:19

I don't think it's auburn, it's just a mid-brown. Maybe some red tints, but majority brown.
