so... i went back brunette (pics)
the color isn't exactly what i wanted.. i'll have to figure out what i'm going to do with it, but i don't absolutely hate it either.

before -


after -


my biggest problem with it is that when i'm inside it looks like i have black hair -


so whaddya think? better or worse?

1. It's different.
Hard to say if it's 'better' or 'worse', really. :) Just different.

But sometimes change is good.

I think it looks better with a bit of curl to it than it did in the other brunette pic when it was kinda straightish. Frames your face better. :)

3. yeah
other pic my hair wasn't layered so all the curl was at the bottom, and i had brushed through it(which makes it more wavy that curly).

i'm not really diggin the new color.. not hating it either. i'm definitely going to add at least some lighter streaks in it.

13. Maybe not necessarily lighter, just highlights that'll give it texture. :)

2. I like it!
I think it only looks darker inside. You'll get used to it. It sure has nice highlights in the sun.

Leave off with the harsh chemicals for a while. It looks beautiful and shiny now, just lovely.

I really like it darker. It's a nice contrast with your skin and eye coloring.

12. I like it!
I'm all too familiar with the indoor-effect; my hair looks completely different under artificial light. I've toyed with going back to brunette, myself- I just can't seem to take the leap.

14. Honestly? IMHO the auburn suits your skin tone a bit better.
But only a bit. The brunette is an extremely close second.

Which do *you* like better?

i wanted more of a chocolate brown(which would mean it would still have a hint of red in it)

19. Give it a week or so
and it will lighten up some. I think it's great! Really accentuates your eyes much better than the auburn. :hi:

Bald is the new mohawk.

much better than the red (though that wasn't bad at all), but dark hair suits you.
