Shall I keep the blonde or go back natural?
Our take
| | For the past year and a half, I have been bleaching my hair regularly every 4/5 months. I am due to get it done again as it has grown out but I’m unsure if I should go back to my natural colour instead. I (24 F) have been yo-yoing between some form of blonde and my natural colour since I was 13. I always seem to get the blonde itch once I finally get my hair healthy again. The money and maintenance isn’t really an issue, however, I’ve always not had the best experience when getting Ballyage/highlights,etc and have always ended up with stripey, orange, or uneven hair resulting in having to go back two or three times to get it fixed. I’ve also been to about three different hairdressers at this point. I don’t know if I’m just picky, but whenever I post on Reddit people seem to agree with me. Maybe I just have bad luck with hairdressers. Anyway, I have tried to include lots of photos with my hair naturally dried versus styled and with with different haircuts so you can get an overall picture. FYI in some of the photos I have my eyebrows natural, and in others lightened as I felt that looked softer with the blonde. I feel like with both blonde and brown my hair sometimes looks good and sometimes not so good. For reference, I also have finer hair so either way it usually looks a little bit flat. Do you think I suit the blonde or dark better? [link] [comments] |

- Brown or pink hair?Hello! I need a hair color advice. 🥹🙏 The LEFT picture is me now and the RIGHT me at 19 years (4 years ago). I have my natural hair color at the moment, because everyone suggested I would look the best like this. Over the years, I’ve had almost all colors in my hair… and yet I still felt unhappy with myself. I am still ‘crying’ and ‘mourning’ over my pink hair phase, because it was the only period of my life when I felt truly confident. It’s been 4 years and I haven’t gone back to that color, because of my job (I own a business in education in Eastern Europe and the parents are very judgy. I feel like I’d ruin my public image and they’d stop buying my products). I dont like the conventional hair color I have at the moment (my natural one), because I don’t feel like myself. At the same time, I wouldn’t go back to half pink half purple, because it is too much. I would like to perhaps try a lighter pink, without any other colors. In your opinion, since you’re seeing me for the first time and you are objective, which color suits me the best? My natural one (left) or should I try a light pink (like the one on the right, but without the purple)? I would truly appreciate your input. Thank you! submitted by /u/Big-Camp5806 [link] [comments]
- How to find ideal hair color without AI?Hello! I have had a few different hair colors over the years (copper, very dark brown, platinum blonde etc) and have been told I look good in each of them. For the last two years I have been growing out my natural hair and getting highlights every now and then. I don’t like how I look as a blonde and don’t like how I look right now with my natural hair color, I need a change. I just don’t want to regret it and am trying to be more conservative about it, and think it over for a while. But I have been itching to do something for months. My skin tone is quite fair and is cool toned (somewhat neutral as well). My esthetician says my face is a heart shape, so do with that what you will. My natural hair color is level 7 blonde according to my hairdresser. I have attached a few photos to show what I look like and maybe you can help. I do not use AI so I wanted to consult here.

- Will I regret dying my hair ? Will it damage and ruin my natural colour?I’ve had my natural blonde hair my whole life I am 20 for context. I have bleached and dyed the under part pink before but the rest is untouched. I’ve always wanted darker hair maybe a dark brown or burnette but I am worried I won’t be able to get my natural blonde back if I hate it. Does anyone recommend keeping natural hair or is it worth it to dye it brown? My hair is pretty thick and wavy so I don’t think it will damage it too much but I’m worried I will hate the colour of everyone in my life will tell me I looked better blonde as it seems to be THE colour now day. submitted by /u/VegetableFlimsy3415 [link] [comments]
- How realistic/ unrealistic is it to get to a color like in the third pic?Hi! I was super unhappy after I paid a bunch of money a while ago for balayage. The salon took maybe 5 minutes to paint some bleach in and I left paying almost 300 bucks with reddish hair after asking for something else. I know darker hair will have brassy tones. So my question is, is it worth it going to another salon? I already told them that I used hair dye (I know bad idea, but the red was making me go crazy, even though now it’s still red). She said she’s not sure if she’ll get it to be like the picture the first time. The thing is I am not happy with color. But I also might still be unhappy after the next visit so maybe I should save my money that I worked for. Even if she does this successfully will it become red or brassy quickly? I also think the red tones or orange tones look bad on me. I’m quite pale but have some yellow undertones and warm mess should in theory work on me but it doesn’t. Maybe it clashed with my ashy eyebrows. submitted by /u/No-Reaction6621 [link] [comments]
