Hey girls. Please tell me what you think - 12-12-07, 06:51 PM

i was messing around on photoshop and because im thinking of getting my hair coloured before xmas (as a present off my mum) i did these.. the first one is my natural colour





they go from dark to light.
i really like the lightest one (the last one)

im definatly having it done though im soo bored of my natural colour!!

tell me what you think xx
do you think the last one suits me better than the others?

i lightened my eyebrows on paint shop do you think i could get them lightened in a salon?

aaaand do you you reck if i took the pics in to the hairdressers (im thinking an expensive one that is brill) they will be able to do it so it looks the same? xx

Hi, its hard to tell scrolling down could you possibly put the photos side by side a bit smaller ? x

Also if you were set on having it done I would definitely leave some darker tones in it as the darker tones bring out your lovely eyes

hi - love the looks!

not a hairdresser, but a beauty therapist, and i think you should leave your eyebrows well alone! you *can* in theory get them lightened, but tbh it doesnt look very good and can go a bit gingery, try using something like benefits brow zing to define and shape your brows instead

I prefer the first one. Darker definately looks better I think.

I'm intrigued - are those your real eyelashes?

Good luck whichever colour you decide upon.

I like the first one best so your natural colour but if you want to go blonder the last one looks nicest to me, you look like a barbie doll in the last one (that's a compliment by the way!) You could always have natural looking highlights as the re-growth may be a real pain.

I like your natural colour - I think the lighter tones don't go with your skin tones.

i prefer the first one but you could have a few hi-lites to add some defianition but i feel your complection is to fair to go blonde and need some warmth in your hair so you dont look to washed out

I think you should go for highlights rather than a full head tint. It minimises the committment of retouching the roots every few weeks. That can be quite a considerable ongoing cost.
Highlights would look great if you got a few different colours of blonde - I think it makes for a classier look.
I'm a beautician, but my sister is a hairdresser and I work beside her a lot. I've no hair qualifications - just my opinion.
