    You can buy one hair color but it has to have reddish undertones. Do not buy ANY brown that says "ASH". You need RED, so something along the lines of a chocolate/cherry etc

    Yeah def stay away from any kind of ash brown. no bueno. Personally, I'd start with a golden-y dark brown. I don't think I'd go with auburn. Ya know what brand of hair dye works really good for me? Color Expert, I think by Loreal. It's like $20 but it comes with highlights that are just a shade or two lighter than the color you're going with. It makes for a really natural, yet sexpot kind of look. IMO

    The thing is your blonde hair is going to grossly absorb any color you put in it. I suggest a light golden brown or dark golden blonde first. I would do it gradually as opposed to just throwing a dark brown on there immediately or you might end up with black hair.

    Wow, it seems like there have been more than a few threads lately about people going from blonde/light brown to a dark brown.

    I'm totally in the same boat and have always wanted sexy dark hair. I'm naturally blonde with pale/pink skin and blue eyes. I tried it once before and I think the trick was finding just the right combination of auburn/chocolate brown. I'm tempted to go near-black with blue streaks. I love how pale it makes me look.

    I think brunettes are way sexier but perhaps its a bit of the "grass is greener" mentality.

    Woohoo! I'm excited for this. I think you look exquisite as a brunette. I kept quiet when you wanted to go blonde because everyone has to experience their opposite at least once, but I'm doing a little happy dance now that you're going back

    aww, thanks!

    Ya, I think the blonde helped me through some rough times, and it was necessary to make a huge change, it helped I think....

    but I'm ready to look in the mirror and see the person I'm familiar with!

    I think it's going to look fantabulous! the color is so pretty

    LOL!!! Exactly! Or a green-gray color! That's what happened to me when I had bleached blonde hair and tried to go dark again immediately. You want to gradually go darker since your hair is so blonde, or you may end up with a "surprise" color.

    Looks hot Lola! I think everyone should be blond at least once in their life, but dark is so much more mysterious and sexy. Love it!
