    Default AHHHH Color Change

    Ok so my hair is bleach blonde right now and tomorrow I'm supposed to be getting it dyed back to my natural color (medium-dark brown). I was excited for the last couple weeks, but now that the appt. is tomorrow I'm getting really nervous and am starting to chicken out. I've been blond for a really really long time, and was excited for the change, but now I'm not so sure. I still kinda wanna do it to see how I would look with my natural color, but I'm starting to worry that I won't like it and will wanna go back to blonde. If I decided I wanted to go back to blonde, about how long would I have to wait to make the change?



    It's kinda hard to see the true color of my hair in these pics, but it's really light. How do u guys think I would look with dark brown hair? Do u prefer the blonde? I'm so undecided right now.... aaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!

    I think you'd look great with darker hair. You can always get high lights for contrast if you miss your blonde..

    Stick with blonde. You look like a better, hotter version of Christina Aguilera.

    You will still be a hottie as a brunette, but expect less attention. That's just the way it is, blonde hair is much more striking. If you hate your decision, you might be screwed on going back to blonde because your hair will be damaged and ruined if you try to bleach it again. You'd have to wait for all the currently bleached hair to grow out.
    I thought about going back to my brunette roots when I stopped dancing, so I bought a brown wig just to see what I would look like. Frankly, the blonde was wayyy better. The decision is up to you, but my vote would be stay blonde!!!

    This is what I always do and I change my color A LOT. Go with brunette "low lights." It's a lot less scary then doing the full dye job abd easier to reverse if you really hate it. Then you can decide wether you wanna go brunette, back to blonde or just keep the low lights!

    Meh.. I went back to brown a couple of times and never did feel the same as I do as a blonde. I just feel more alive. more me, as a blonde, but I never would have known that if I hadn't switched color.

    Maybe should you change your hair color in 2 or 3 steps, go dark blonde or very light brown, then darken more and more... that's the way I did, less shocking and depressing!

    I'm with Danni. Get some light brown low lights. Gradually go back.

    I wouldn't do it. If you really want to, do as the other girls suggested and do it gradually...though i'm not sure that i'd do anything.

    I think you look good the way you are but you would also look good with darker hair. Like other girls said a slow and subtle change might be the way to go about it.

    Ok, my question is: Why is your hair so much shorter in the last pic? If you're having to cut it because of damage I would lay off the bleach because soon you might not have any hair left

    But I like the blond. Do you bleach it yourself or do you get it done at the salon? Cuz lemme tell ya, the salon color will be sooooooo much better for your hair than the home stuff, it's worth spending the extra money!

    I like you as a blond but I think you'd look great as a brunette!!! I also agree with some other suggestions that if you don't like it you can always add highlights and go back to blond. Personally, I've never been a fan of lowlights on hair as light as yours because it always looked to warm (redish/orangie instead of lt brown) to me and not enough like a natural color. And I love brown hair with lots of subtle blond highlights.

    Lastly, if you don't do the brunette thing now and wimp out, you'll just keep wondering! So do it already!!!

    Ok just got back from the salon- I did it! I like it, but it's not the color I want yet. They had to put a red filler on before they could dye it brown, and my hair soaked up a lot of the red, but not as much brown, so it's dark brown with a reddish tint (which I don't like). We're gonna keep working on it though, to get it the color I want. I'll post pics once I have some makeup on later today or tomorrow. I like it, but I definetely have to get used to it. I'll know how much I like it for sure once I have makeup on and do my hair how I normally do (I hate how salons style your hair).

    Let's see another pic

    I recently died my hair dark brown from blonde. It is a big change. I definatley felt more confident as a blonde, but brown can be a very flattering shade. Mine is finally fading into a nice warm color that is better on me. I really miss light hair though, and I'm going back soon! I can't wait.

    With a darker tan, you'd look fantastic with dark brown hair.

    I like the middle picture best tho.

    I don't really like the typical blonde look, but i think it really works for you. I don't think you should change it.

    I think you'd look better with a darker blond base, and some lighter blond highlights, or as other girls said, add some low lights.

    Going fully back to brunette is a shocking thing, and for me at least, I felt like a librarian with all one color brown hair, but I felt like a sex goddess again after adding just a few highlights to break up the drabbness of the plain brown.

    I had very long light blonde hair for as long as I could remember. Then one day I just decided to go dark. It came out alot darker than I expected, But looked really great. I looked like a totally different person. My sister didn't even recognize me when I stopped by her job to show it off! I loved it 'til I decided to have some hi-lights put in like 8months later. It damaged my hair so badly, I had to have tons of it cut off and layered. Eventually after they started growing out really far I decided to just cover them back up with a dark brown again. As the color faded little, it just looks like natural hi-lights from the sun. I really am happy with it now. Although I admit that I do occassionally miss the blonde, this is better for me. And much lower maintenance.
