What colour would you say my hair is?

It's actually quite difficult to take photos of your own head Grin Anyway, is it blonde or brown? I've never really been able to work it out, it seems almost too dark to be blonde, but not quite brown either Confused

Blonde. No question.

threatmatrix · 04/02/2022 19:30

It’s ash blonde.

merrymelodies · 04/02/2022 19:31

Blonde

SingleHandSue · 04/02/2022 19:34

Gorgeous colour is what that is!

Defo not mousey, I’m mousey (naturally) and it’s literally the colour of a mouse. Or a wild rabbit.

Honey blonde. Probably goes lighter in summer if you're outside a lot. It's a beautiful colour and in lovely condition.

RestingMurderousFace · 04/02/2022 19:39

Dark blonde, level 7ish probably. My natural colour is similar but with a tinge of copper.

Susu49 · 04/02/2022 19:41

Ash blonde

SirVixofVixHall · 04/02/2022 19:50

Mouse refers to that sort of pale brown that has almost no colour, a sort of grey/green tinge. Your hair is blonde/dark blonde OP, it isn’t mouse.

RestingMurderousFace · 04/02/2022 19:57

Yes, level 7 dark blonde

Not the point of the thread but why does it go dark blonde, medium brown? Surely light brown should be in-between?

Ask the person who made the chart.

Dark blonde. It's really pretty. I like the different tones you have. Gorgeous

@Pbbananabagel

Ahh hello my natural hair colour! I haven’t seen you in a while Grin. I describe it as ‘dirty blonde’, it’s too dark to be blonde but too golden to call brown.
This. I would call it dirty blonde. My son has the same hair colour - a lovely darker blonde with a lovely mix of highlights and low lights.

Dirty blonde

inheritancetrack · 04/02/2022 21:50

Dark blonde

Bambi77 · 04/02/2022 22:54

Bronde

HalfGoddessHalfHell · 04/02/2022 23:09

Mousey brown which is very in vogue at the mo. Looks fabulous!🤩

Chichimcgee · 04/02/2022 23:11

Blonde

Ash blonde

Iwannabewherethepeopleare · 05/02/2022 02:43

I think peoples perceptions are different to technical terms sometimes. To me it looks around a base 8 which is medium blonde in a Wella chart

Timeyime · 05/02/2022 02:51

Blue

OrangeShark27 · 05/02/2022 02:51

I would say its lighter than a 7, its more ashy. I'd say a dark ashy blond

To me that's clearly blonde. The highlights have a more yellowy tone to them, it's blonde in undertone but on the darker end.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 05/02/2022 02:55

Definitely blonde

Yeah, I think we've found the answer to my question of what shade of haircolour would be light brown, if not the OP's? Light brown hair doesn't exist apparently!? Confused

@OhLordyWhatNow

Are you generally fair?

What colour are the hairs on your forearms?

Blonde or brown?

If blonde, I'd say you were fair and had dark blonde hair on your head.

If brown, I'd most probably say you had light brown hair on your head.

All my arm and leg hair is blonde, but my eyebrows and lashes are darker
