I think that colour looks fantastic on you! I'm having a hard time picturing you blonde. I love your friend too.

You look great!

I like it, Steph, it's a nice change and you can always go blonde again if you want to.

Do it! I double-red-dog-dare ya. :)

That looks so natural! I really like it.

Thanks for sharing the website too. I need to do something but not sure about the color. This will be fun too.

I really like the dark too. It looks great on you. I like it with the hi-lites especially.
I say go for it!!

I got tired of blonde highlightes myself. Everyone is a blond. I just went from blond to a deep, dark red. I do like it better but I'm going to add some butterscotch highlights next time I have it done.
It's good to change hair color, otherwise you always look the same.

Thanks for the web site I'll send that to my daughter. I think you look great with brown hair. You could post the original so we can see you with blonde hair for a comparison.

Gorgeous on you.

Shelley

I love it Steph! You are like Sydney any color looks good on you....she went and got hers done finally the other day got it striped from the black she put on it and then just to a brown with highlights in it looks sooo much better....Go for it..if you hate it you can always change it...When I get back today going to that website to play! STacy

You look lovely with brown hair, Stephanie. And thanks for the website! I've been wanting to go a bit red and this will let me check it out first.

It looks great Steph!
Stacy is right...any color would look good on you.

I think it looks really cute on you... but be careful about not going too dark. In real life, a lot darker may kind of wash you out. As we age and start turning grey (I know you're not really there yet), but, most skin tones tend to look better with lighter colors. If you want to try it, you may just ask that your haridresser add some extra lighter-hi-lights around your face frame and bangs. They'll often do that anyway. Good luck. Post some pictures when/if you get it done. I think it would be fun to try a change.

I think you'll have more fun as a brunette! LOL
With your eyes I think it looks natural on you.
My oldest DD is a blonde, not quite as blonde as you are but she has been a lighter brown with what do they call them lowlights? LOL Sorta a ashy color and it looks great on her, she has the big brown eyes the rest of the family has.

I think it looks fantastic! I'm over blonde too; I retired July 1st and I decided to go with a medium brown and see what happens. I love it! It is more true to my natural hair (minus the grays at the temples). Now I'm looking for a "box" color that I can do myself. I'm just not into dropping so much money at the salon every 6-8 weeks!

Have fun, you look like you're still having fun.

Susan

The look is good for you!

Lori

You look good with that color. I will have to check out that website. I am thinking of going red. I am a platinum blonde right now, before that I was more of an ash blonde to hide all the grey (75%).
Clare

If I were you, I'd go for it! Looks great!

Here's a few more.

You look very nice with the brown hair. As a second suggestion to the web site - I would suggest trying on wigs in colours that you are interested in - because the websites don't always take into account your particular skin tone - I know this because I tried it - although it was a few years ago. I have very pale skin with a pronounced yellow undertone. My natural hair shade was auburn which turned iron grey in my 20s so I have single processed it to its natural shade since - I am now 59 - and have made it my mission to not have a purple based red - so far so good. My sisters had the Irish black hair and peroxided blonde in early 60s - big mistake - and I would have loved to have had that black hair. It was only after trying on a black wig that I realized how yellow my skin is - so then I tried on a blonde wig and it was even worse! Yet the computer model didn't show the horrors of it all. I wish I had the beautiful silver grey or white hair that goes so well with a pink complexion - of course I don't have either. So I am sticking with the auburn. But I will let it go iron grey before I colour it what I call "Angela Lansbury Taupe" - my benchmark for the colour I hate the most - on me particularly.

Just coming back to say when I glanced at the pic after reading the first few lines of your post (hadn't seen the website yet) I thought holy cow it must be as cold out there as its been here, she's wearing gloves!! Then I read the rest of it! lol

First-beautiful picture!
I think you look better with darker hair. With your eyes, it is much more natural looking. You look healthier too.
I agree with not going too dark, a rich sable with high-lites would be beautiful. Hopefully your blonde will hold the color. I've heard it's hard to go from light to dark.

When my first son was Grants age I cut my very long hair into a pixie cut. When I came home and he saw me for the first time, he threw his toy down the stairs at me and turned his back on me. He was very upset.

Thanks for the website!

My blonde, danihoney, at this point is bleach. I'm not a natural blonde anymore. My hairdresser will strip the bleach then recolor it. She mentioned the possibility of it not holding the color but thinks it will. I've had darker streaks in my hair before and it held fine.

Hopefully it will hold. :-)

Steph, you look beautiful no matter what you do with your hair. I was born blond (towhead) and it darkened over the years. In my teen years I experimented with lemon juice, peroxide and even a box of Nice N Easy. Later I went to hairdressers and had my hair every color except black. I've had highlights a few times, and I like them. I dyed my hair platinum blonde at one point, red at another. A few years ago I decided to let it go natural. My natural hair is brown with a litle gray and I like it. I consider my grays my "age highlights". Do whatver you like and keep smiling, my lovely

Connie, you're funny! This picture in particular was taken last winter when we were in Canada. I used it because it had a fairly dark background, my head wasn't tilted and my bangs were fairly easy to photoshop out of the picture, and it wasn't too horrible of a picture!

But as hot as it's been, I'm ready for that winter jacket and gloves!

The dark color shows off your eyes, but I've never heard of a blond going darker. LOL!

I think you look great as a brunette! I think you should go brunette with reddish highlights. :)

As for blondes not usually going darker, a close friend of mine is a true blonde and you would never guess it in a million years. Her hair is dyed almost black and she looks gorgeous, even though she has fair skin and big blue eyes. She looks like Bettie Page, bangs and all.
