maybe you should do it gradually...just go a little darker this time and see how you like it. And then next time, you can go even darker.

I think Erica's idea of a honey blond would be really nice.

I would go for it - I get easily bored with my hair, and am willing to take risks.

Re: I am thinking about ............

I agree with the gradual thing...do it a little at a time. Start with lowlights!

Re: I am thinking about ............

What is lowlights?

Re: I am thinking about ............

Lowlights are similar to highlights, except instead of lightening strands of your hair, it darkens strands of your hair. I really like mine. Also, I posted earlier about dry hair: leave a deep conditioner in overnight once a week (I use Biolage Conditioning Balm) and it really helps the dryness.

I suggest the lowlights. On my hair, I think they look pretty cool and add a nice contrast to your hair color. JMO

it's like getting brown highlights!!

If you want to go darker, go to a nice brown.. but not tooo dark.. and use L'Oreal Masquintense.. that's the best stuff for your hair!

Re: I am thinking about ............

Mary,did you get lowlights? Was your hair as blonde as mine is right now?

Re: I am thinking about ............

Do you have any pictures of so I can see what it looks like?

Re: I am thinking about ............

I think you look great as a blonde but if you want to make a change I would definitely do it gradually.You don't want to go too drastic right away.

What did you wind up doing??

Re: I am thinking about ............

I like the blonde, but maybe tone it down a bit. A darker blonde with some highlights would look beautiful.

Re: I am thinking about ............

Sue - I had hair just like yours. Same color almost exactly and I felt the same way you do. Tired of all the coloring...hair needed a break so I dyed it back to brown and I don't regret it for a minute. I wish I could post a pic but I am not too computer savy.

So I say go for it. Your hair will thank you!! GOOD LUCK!! Whatever you do, you have beautiful hair.

I just recently went from blonde to brown. My hair is soooooooo much healthier and shinier. I love it!! I got used to it pretty quickly considering I've been blonde for the past 20 years!!
Here is me blonde...
