Brassy FRIED highlights to brown glossy hair

[Monicagellar86]

I have such pale skin and bright blue eyes that blonde helps me look healthier.

My natural hair is almost black. And makes me look really sick. The contrast is too extreme - even with fake tan which I use a lot.

My highlighted hair is awfully dry and so damage it needs chopped off. But I'm also sick of the roots and purple shampoo.

Has anyone managed to go back to dark glossy hair and pulled it off? I need my long hair cut into a short bob to get rid of the damage too.

Should I be looking for certain tones or levels? I'd imagine my hair is porous!

Can I just say I love the look you describe (I am Spanish looking so quite the opposite) but oh, black hair, blue eyes, white skin! I’m not sure I have any advice, but I just wanted to tell you this!

Also envious here. You have blue eyes, you can pull anything off! I have super pale (whiter than a corpse but a lovely patchy red in places) and green eyes. I look like a plain Jane with brown hair.

Could you use black with a red tint dye?

If not, I'd have your natural hair with some small thin highlights in that just add shape or tone to your hair rather than actual highlights. You could probably get away with once or twice a year sessions.
