Should I dye my mousy hair brown?

Ive got dark mousy blonde hair. Used to highlight it but now just dye it lighter blonde at home myself cause I can't afford highlights at the moment.

I've been letting the dye grow out but i'm bored of my hair and fancy a change, was thinking of a caremel/galaxy brown colour with a few subtle blonde streaks casually thrown in round the front...

A bit like the colour of Jennifer Anistons hair when she was in Friends.

What do you think? Will I suit it?

Thanks, worried my eyebrows are dark mousy, think they'll look ok?

Forgot to ask, do you dye your own hair? Was gonna buy a dye from boots, one of those posh ones where you brush in the highlights, have used one before. Can't decide which one to get to get the right colour though!

think it'll look fine with eyebrows ! I have mine highlighted at hairdressers - my one beauty luxury..a mixture of shades,a few lighter ones and a few darker,so it looks honey-ish (I like to think !)) The ones you buy with the highlighting devices seem to be very sophisticated and foolproof these days

I might go have a lok in town today , wonder if it'll cover ok with it being half and half? Oh well, will just have to try it I guess!

Well, I dyed it and i'm really happy with it. It covered up my old growing our blonde and suits me. I chose a l'oreal colour expertese in 'french eclair'. It's one where you add the highlights yourself

Yes I use that too in a lighter shade and am always happy with the results
