I was going to say NNNOOOO, but I thought that was your hair length...lol. How about an amber brown? Front layers would look real nice.

Re: how Should i cut my hair???
I think you should do shoulder length with long layers. I think the cut is called across the street, something like that. I think it would look good and still keep your length

Re: how Should i cut my hair???
maybe layered a bit more, side swept bangs.
here is a test to give yourself to see around what type of shade to go for
The perfect hair color for you Whatever type of color for hair you opt for, choosing the proper range of shades—warm or cool—is the key. The right hair color shade will brighten up your hair style . . . and your life.
What is the most basic principle of hair color theory applied to hair? It's choosing between warm and cool shades—and with the dizzying variety of color for hair available, choosing can sometimes be confusing. The best way to make pleasing hair color choices is to determine whether natural coloring—hair, eye, and skin tones—is in the warm or cool range of colors. Answer these questions, or better yet, have your best friend give you her opinion, which is likely to be more accurate:
My eyes are: Deep brown or black-brown (Cool) Golden brown (Warm) Gray blue or dark blue (Cool) Green, green blue or turquoise (Warm) Hazel with gold or brown flecks (Warm) Hazel with white, gray or blue flecks (Cool) My skin is: Very dark brown (Cool) Brown with pink undertone (Warm) Brown with golden undertone (Warm) True olive (most Asians and Latinos) (Cool) Medium with no color in cheeks (Cool) Medium with faint pink cheeks (Cool) Medium with golden undertones (Cool) Pale with no color in cheeks (Cool) Pale with pink undertones (Cool) Pale with peach or gold undertones (Warm) Freckled (Warm) Ruddy (Warm) Brown or bronze when I tan (Cool) Golden brown, when I tan (Warm) My hair color is: Blue black (Cool) Deepest coffee brown (Cool) Medium ash brown (Cool) Deep brown with gold or red highlights (Warm) Medium golden brown (Cool) Red (Warm) Strawberry blond (Warm) Dishwater blond (Cool) Golden blond (Cool) Salt and pepper (Cool) White (Cool) Gray with a yellow cast (Warm)
What were your answers Did you check mostly cools? If so, your natural tones are in the cool spectrum. Mostly warms? Then you're naturally 'warm.'
Cool Naturally cool people should avoid gold, yellow, red and bronze tones, which have a tendency to make you look sallow and drawn. The best hair color shades, depending on your skin tone, are shiny raven-wing blacks, cool ash brown hair colors, and cool blondes in shades ranging from mink to platinum and icy white. You're fortunate to be able to wear many exciting 'unnatural' colors . . . lipstick reds, burgundies, and orchids, for a more daring look.
Warm Naturally warm people should avoid blue, violet, white and jet-black hair, which will seem to 'wash out' your natural high hair color. Depending on your skin tone and your preference, you'll find that deep chocolate, rich golden brown hair colors, auburn, warm gold, red highlights, and golden blond shades enhance your 'sunny' look. Hair weaving and hair highlighting are great ways to add warm tones to your hair color—and natural-looking corals, oranges and reds are dazzling on you!

Oooo even better, i love red. At first when I dyed it, it was a very bright red but then it faded a bit and liked it alot. Warning though, red is harder to keep up than blonde. Red fades seriously after 2-3 weeks. When I had red hair, i had to get it done alot more often than with blonde hair. A few years ago they took out this chemical from red hair which is what kept the color in your hair, in europe the red dye is still good and lasts but its hard to get here. Here is the red i had after it faded a little and wasnt like a real bright color
what about someting like this color wise? think it would look ok?
why dont you go to one of those websites where you can upload a pic of yourself and try different hair colors and styles

Re: how Should i cut my hair???
I would say cut it up to your colar bone with a lot of layers and a side bang. You can go many different colors. I think a warm brown with crown high lights (subtle) so you can go longer than usual for keeping up with it. But if you want to go dark I love dark auburn. thats my color. If you look at the chart at the salon and its wella the number is 3/66. Hope this helps!!! Good Luck!

Re: Chop Chop
I put in reddish brown highlights and I love it. It does fade but then I like it even more and it compliments my skin tone very well. I worked with the girls at the salon to come up with the perfect highlight. I added in some dark brown low lights and it's perfect.
