Looks horrible!! Its been light brown with blonde highlights for the last 10 years but i decided i wanted a change so i went really dark brown with auburn highlights. It looks awful- its so dark , i look like a witch! Oh well, only 8 weeks until my next hair appointment- i guess i can make it

I can't go into your album, but from what I can see it looks good! You have such pretty eyes, I'm sure it brings them out. I think it's probably so shocking to you because you're so used to having it much lighter. Even if you don't want to keep it this way, it's a nice change. Give yourself a little time to get used to it.

I think it looks GREAT. I love dark hair and I tihnk it looks good on you

I always go dark and at first i'm like OMG what the hell did I do, I look sickly. Then I get used to it after a few days and end up sticking with it!

Thanks girls! Thats kind of what im hoping for - that maybe im just in shock and it will grow on me.

I just went dark and it took awile for me to get used to it.
I think it looks really pretty. It brings out your eyes. Plus it will lighten in a few days.

I just looked at the pics and I really do like the hair. It's super dark just because it's new. I once had my hair dyed black with no highlights and i totally felt as though it washed me out, but after washing it a few times it really lightened up and looked incredible (esp when I wore pink. lol. Black hair with Pink clothes just look amazing)

You have to be happy with it but really I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had the same problem. I actually went from platinum to dark. First, I don't know why I thought I should of been that light but whatever! Also, the same went with cutting my hair so short. It took some time but I am so happy. You need to be happy even though I love it!

Everyone keeps saying it will lighten up a little. You cant see in the pic but there is auburn highlights in front. Thanks for the advice on the pink!!!

I think you look Hot!! But if you want to lighten it a little use either pert plus or head and shoulders. It will def help.

I LOVE your hair. It's so sexy. Try to live with it for a week. If you still hate it, change it back, but it's beautiful.

I think it looks really good on you.... leave it for a while and see if you get used to it, if not, you can always go sooner to get your hair done again

Re: My Hair...(NOW WITH PICS IN ALBUM)

I like the the dark it really makes your eyes pop and your hair also looked great before.

I think it's just different and you may not feel like you're looking like yourself KWIM. If that's the case I say you go back to your old look, but this one isn't bad.

persoanlly i think you look great dark! it looks natural.

give it some time to get used to! I had been light for a long time too. my hair is naturally dark brown, but from all the highlighting it was lightbrown and blonde. I got sick of the maintenance and decided to go dark, it took a while to get used to and though i miss being light i like the dark and my hair is so much healthier. in fact i tried to go lighter again (since it takes a while to get back to where i was) i couldnt handle it i went back that week and went all dark again
