I am in need of a hair color change again. I have decided, for the time being, not to cut my hair super short like this lady makes me want to do (maybe at some point though…). I do want to change the color though…I finally got all of the black out from over a year ago – but sadly, I think I’ve gone too light and I want some dark back. Dark hair just always seems to work better with my complexion.
I would like your opinion about what I should do though, I am curious as to what other people think looks best on me. We will move backwards from my most recent colors, to what it was a year ago…
1. This is the red from my last dye-job…pretty bright
2. Prior to my most recent, but typically now what my hair looks like after it fades for a few weeks – SUPER light
3. Still with some dark hues in the tips
4. Random, on-accident-ombre
5. Lots of black left, red at the roots
6. Intentional red ombre with black base (also the most difficult dye-job I’ve tried at this point)
7. Mostly black/dark-brownish (this is typically the color that makes it easier to wear my black extensions and have them blend in)
8. Little blonde/red highlights in mostly black
9. Black
I am wondering if I should just go back to black?….I’m not promising that I can re-create any of the colors or effects exactly as you see them here. For the most part I just throw some dye in and let my hair interpret it as it wants to…but I am curious, what do you think I should do?

I have to say, I do love you with dark hair. You always had such dark hair when you were a baby…maybe that’s why?

I like the 6th picture, you hair seems like it stood out. Not to dark since it has that splash of red.

I love the color you had in #3 but it would be too hard to match that. Don’t go totally black!! I like #6 and #8. I think you could do MORE black but make sure you have some red in it too!!

I think #8. Warm chocolate kind of tones with a little black! It really brings out your pretty eyes!

I, too, love you with darker hair! I LOVE # 6, but I know that one was hard! I vote a warm dark brown! Your gorgeous, lady!

I LOVE you with black hair! But I also loved number 8, that was my most favorite look on you this far! I love funky hair. And the red and blonde highlights funked up the black.

I like 5-7 the best! I love your dark hair, but not solid. I like it with some red streaks in it.

Pretty baby. You are so able to rock the dark color, but I also know how hard it is to get it all out later. Even when it fades it is so pretty and I super-love the red-red-reds both you and Stephanie achieve! Hmmm….how about just adding some dark streaks to what you have and then when you do a red wash, beauty!??
