Beautiful dark hair!
by: Michelle

Hi Zoe,

You are one of those lucky girls who looks great with dark hair. I've tried darkening mine a few times, hoping it would suit me like it does you, and it's terrible on me.

Concerning the blonde, I wouldn't recommend it. Not just because of how it might look, but because of the maintenance involved and the level of damage to your hair by lightening it that much. If you want a bit of a change, try adding some interest with a bit of lightening underneath, like this. This would look good in either a blonde color, or golden brown... or even a red!

A great way to tell what you'd look like in a different color or style is with a virtual hairstyle program. You can upload a photo of yourself and try on tons of styles and colors.

All the best,
Michelle

I am not a colourist or trained but I can honestly say, I have changed my haircolour nearly every shade and sucessfully too! I say you will look real great with an ash-blonde hair shade. Check out with a good clourist and go ahead and add some change which will also uplift your spirits. Your eyes will really pop with that shade!

by: cherry

i think that if that's what you want to do, then you should do it. it's going to be different, and at first i'm sure people won't like it, but after awhile everyone will get used to it, and they'll grow to like it =)

I would say gradually work your way to blonde, try going brunette first and get lighter... the sudden change may be real scary, & you would probably have to try a few different blondes until you found the right one. :) good luck x

Dont!

My mate had blonde hair and i told her it would go ginger if she died it now she has ginger hair and still doesn't listen to a word i say!

Jun 23, 2009

boo :D
by: JEMMA

perhaps highlights would be a good first move and if it goes well you could move on and do your whole hair when you're ready :)

i was thinking of going a lighter shade as well cos im naturally ash blonde but it looks kinda dull

GOOD LUCK xxx

in my opinion, platinum blonde doesn't really do it for anyone. and with your eyebrows and skin tone, if you wanted blonde i would choose a warmer blonde like caramel or honey blonde.

i'm thinking the same way.
by: Jasmine

hey (:
well, im thinking exactly the same thing!
i have really dark hair, pale skin tone and green eyes.
i'm going for a strand test in 2 days time.
my mother says i'll regret it big time, but you can only take a chance.
i say just go for it.
i'm like you, i want a change and i want it now.
let me know how it goes!
i mean obviously you cant go black to platinum blonde in one dye so it takes time anyway, if you start off and dont like it, go dark again.
but dont panic, leave it a few weeks at a time before you dye it again too :)
who cares? it grows again, right!

Best with your skin and eyes
by: Laura

I have worked in the hair industy and have myself changed my hair colour numerous times. Going from black to blonde will take a lot of time and money to maintain - roots start showing very quickly and if not done right it can strip your hair of essential nutrients. It's fun to try new things, so if you are willing to put in the time you might like it. I would beware of one thing - blonde hair tends to make people look younger - school girl age. Just a precaution.

If you're interested in a more edgy shade - red steaks or undertones would look great with your complexion (due to your warm skin and dark complexion) and would bring so much warmth and intrigue to your eyes.

If you are dead set on going the blonde route - I know what it's like to try to change someone's mind when it's set.... I can't even make myself change mine - then I would suggest a warm honey colour - not a platinum because it will look unnatural and won't compliment your eyes as well. Honey again is a warmer shade and will go well with your skin.

The best thing for the blonde shade would be to use a honey caramel shade and highlight it underneath a layer of darker hair - then when it grows out you don't have to colour it to hide the roots right away. Also it will add a level of interest without making too stark a contrast. If you love it and still want more, then you already know what the blonde will look like and can make a more informed decision.

All the best and tons of fun with your hair - and remember to love it and keep it healthy.

i agree with cherry
by: meggs

i think dirty blonde would be good for you. platinum blonde might be a little much for your skintone, which i a little dark for such a bright color.
