What is the name of my hair color

I would like to recolor my hair by myself. The only challenge is some people say it is light brown and other dark blond. Which one is it?

Hi Mariya,

Your hair can be considered either dark blonde or light brown, depending on who you're talking to. How people describe the color isn't what's really important though. What matters is the LEVEL, according to the International hair color level system.

Check out the haircolor chart here. Your hair would be considered a level 7. This is what you need to consider when coloring your hair. If you're lightening, you'll encounter the yellow/orange underlying pigment characteristic of a level 7 haircolor.

All the best,
Michelle

Your hair is very clearly brown. I don't see why anyone would ever call it blonde. I've heard some Hispanic people refer all white people as "blondes", and maybe that is where you got the "I'm a blonde" idea from? Just a guess. Nice hair though.

I think it's light brown and it doesn't have to do anything with what people say(in general not a specific ethnicity). The comment above was a little to naive.
