    What color is your hair right now? What kind of undertones does your skin have? (Idk if that's you/a current photo in your avatar.)

    If you have olive tan skin, avoid blonde.

    Carmel-colored highlights in black hair are awesome. Dark reds can work with tan skin too. IMO you should ask a stylist about this, b/c it would be a poor idea to wing it on your own & end up with terrible looking hair.

    I agree with adding some caramel color highlights. I was coming here to suggest that. Brunette hair with highlights usually really flatters tan skin. I never cared for platinum blonde on super tanned girls.

    speaking of hair color, i have ALWAYS wanted to go blonde but everyone i know tells me i'd look crazy.. I myself am desperate for something other than black/brown.... Currently I have chocolate brown with golden blonde highlights but I STILL want to go fully blonde.....

    Add purple in a section of your hair.. you can get hair chalk to try it out or semi permanent colour. Sounds fun. I also think caramel highlights would be nice.
    Many of the obstacles you once imagined are not even there.

    Caramel sounds nice but I would have to bleach right?

    ^People said the same to me and now they "can't imagine me as a brunette". It's very harsh on your hair, but if you find a good colorist then you will be able to find a shade that suits you.

    OP, caramel or dark blonde/caramel highlights looks great when you have tanned skin-very pretty.

    For something unnatural and different I think a dark magenta purple-y type of color would look really cool. Something like this >>


    Or just a dark, rich, solid shiny shade of espresso brown always looks pretty with tan skin.

    Blonde is really really harsh on coarse dark hair. It looks great but is very expensive to maintain & hair will eventually break off/fall out. A wig or extensions are easier.

    It's all about finding complimentary shades/hues for your skin-tone not so much the color.I just threw KK up for a bonus but don't really like the shades/hues on her for her skin-tone.It honestly takes a-lot to figure out.Do you plan on going to a Pro or D.I.Y? If you go to a pro I recommend going to a color specialist.

    I feel like I'm stuck in the middle between skin tones...not dark enough for certain colors and not light enough for the other colors...I guess I should go to a specialists ..I'll post wen I get it!

    Ok I asked my ex which I looked closest to as far as skin tone NOT features but he said Rosario Dawson

    I also get Mia Khalifa and Kim k on cam lol but I think there's just being nice lol...also my ex doesn't agree he like " no u don't at all....maybe a lil Kim k but there just saying that cuz my looks look Indian/middle eastern "

    Btw I'm Latina

    At my club there's a super tan girl (gold undertones) with hot pink hair, a black girl (cool undertones) with purple dreads, and a latina girl (olive) with black hair that flows into bright red ombre. They all look great and bank. Bright hair can look beautiful with tan skin if you get the right tone.
