Hey there ladies.
I am having a hair dilema and I'm hoping your opinions might help me make a decision.

I am a natural blonde. However, my hair hasnt been blonde for longer than a few months in the past 5 years.

In fact, for the majority of the past five years my hair has been fire engine red.

My mom maid me promise to not have it a 'weird' color for the wedding.

So now I'm stuck trying to figure out what to do.

I have not dyed my hair in over a year, hoping to grow out my natural color... it's a slow process.
So, now I have to decide what to do. If i want to go back to blonde, it's going to cost me a ton of money, and honestly... it'd only stay blonde till i got home from the honeymoon, if it even lasted that long.

Here are a few differant pics of me with differant hair. What do you think I should do??

The first one is a bad photo, but it's my pure natural color.

The second one is what I look like now.

The third is me a few years ago as a blonde.

The fourth is me last year the night i dyed it black/burgandy.

The last photo is my favorite hair that i've had in the past five years. However, everyone keeps telling me not to dye it black for the wedding b/c i'm a natural blond and i'll want to look at photos in the future and see 'ME' not the 'me i was at that moment'

what should i do???

oh... and here's a pic of the fire engine red for fun lol

I would dye it back to a color that is as close to your natural hair color as possible... maybe once your hair is back to it's natural color completely, throw in a few highlights... women pay tons of money to have a hair color like that. I think it makes your skin look amazing!!! I love it blonde!

I have a totally differant option! hehe..

I would dye it black with burgandy or auburn highlights. Don't put seperate streaks of the highlight, just mix the black dye with either the burgandy or auburn dye. It gives it a natural look, and it looks multi-faceted (hehe I stole that from the Feria commercial)...It's beautiful!! My hair dresser did it for me and I am in LOVE!!

The reason I'm telling you is because I think you look really beautiful with the black hair, but I do think that the highlights/streaks give you that 'in the moment' look..where as if you just dye is dark all over with nice natural lookng highlights, it'll be a more timeless look.

I agree with that! I liked the black too, but I understood what people were saying about it. Not to mention, I think you should have your hair how you feel the most beautiful on your wedding day. If that is black and 'in the moment' then so be it.

Let it grow out to the natural shade, chop off the dyed part and get extensions
THATS WHAT IM DOING.,

I like the hair in the pic with the hood and the playboy talent scout..lol

The blond is so nice on you- well- of course its your natural color.

I dont know much about hair coloring, but can you just do a vegetable color to darken the blond after the HM?

ETS- I like the dark with the eggplant a lot, but like you said about it not being the real you if u are blonde, same for the fire engine red.

Edit again b/c I just realized it said 'no nice on you' instead of so nice- duh me!

I think you will look great with brown hair and caramel with a little red highlights. I dyed my hair brown and put a little caramel highlights on top and it brighten my face. I dont know yet what color Im doing for my wedding.

I love your natural hair color, but I think the last photo in black hair makes you look realy sexy!

I think you look nice blonde. I voted to dye it blonde. You can even do hi-lights and Lo-lights to give it depth.

i LOVE your hair in the last pic. i think if you haven't had it blonde for a long time, and you don't feel it's 'you' anymore, you shouldn't do the blonde. it'll only make other people happy, not necessarily yourself. you gotta do what you like most.

Re: Hair Color Help!with Poll and Pics

thank you for all of your opinions ladies!
Is it super expensive to get extensions put in?
How long would my hair have to be in order for them to look natural?

I'm worried about getting a hair trial done before I know what color it'll be because I know that different hair colors accent different facial features, at least on me.

Re: Hair Color Help!with Poll and Pics

i like the black with burgundy too......i LOVE black hair! and it just looks the most like your style.....im actually thinking of doing my hair really dark brown (almost black but not quite) and fuscia right in the front - like fuscia bangs! i love wild hair - i just never have the balls to do it - but i think i def want to do something with fuscia really soon!

i also think you look great blonde - but there is just something about the black and red
