Any hair/colour savvy people out there? How do I get to choose my colour at the salon? Will I get to look at a book and choose a colour? If so, I want to see the book before I go so that I’m not making a quick decision under pressure if that makes sense? Or is there a certain range of colours I will need to stick to because of my dark hair?
I know nothing about hair colour and never dye my hair but am now well into my 30s and starting to think about colouring. I have chocolate brown hair which is naturally lighter at the ends so it looks like I have balayage/baby lights if my hair is straight (which I never do, I leave it curly) and very few greys (for now!). I can’t decide if I want a different look or just to give it an all over more evened out natural colour.
Any advice? Should I just stick with it natural? I may be being silly but feel a bit bored with my hair as I can’t really try any funky cuts due to my curls. I am kind of forced to keep it a good length to stop it springing up into a big bushy mane. Also not very keen on short hair and I want to be able to put my hair up in ponytails and buns, so feel like colour is the only option I have for a bit of a change. It’s about boob length at the longest parts with shorter layers around the face and top layers.
