    I've been both but I prefer the darker hair. My hair stylist wanted me to keep my hair platinum blonde for two weeks before she made it pink/purple and I freaked out because blonde just doesn't suit me.

    I never had a thing for blondes until I met my husband! He's a gorgeous blonde. :love:

    i have dark brown hair and i love it! although i kind of want to dye my hair one of these shades of red :bigsmile:

    i think it would be a nice change, but it's a risky move, especially since i've never dyed my hair before! :o


    I really like that shade. I was born a red head & remained like that for years in childhood, then it turned brunette but I still have shades of red. Thinking about getting auburn highlights or lowlights.

    You tell me! I'm currently on my quest for Jennifer Aniston not quite blonde/not quite brown, but having been red for years takes forever to phase out. Of course, as I get closer to what was at one point my natural haircolor, I miss my bright red.

    Thanks! I did it the lazy way cutting from photobucket but forgot the img is case sensitive. And thanks again - I do miss my red hair. I had it for so long that it feels more natural than the brown!

    I chose these as all of your most flattering colors.

    I have brown hair (I hate using the word "brunette", nothing against other people using it, you all look beautiful, just it's not *me*) but it has ginger in it (you can see it in some lights but not others) and I look better with ginger highlights than blonde highlights.

    Never totally changed my hair colour though. If I did it would be something totally outlandish like purple.

    Im have naturally mousey brownish hair which, thanks to my mothers gene pool, is now going grey! Ive been every colour I can be but settled on a honey blonde because it hides the grey better than trying to keep it dark. Plus with dark hair I really do look like Wednesday Addams :sad:

    I hear red is hard to keep up with and fades quickly.... I like all of the colors everyone posted :) I'm glad nobody posted pictures of them with black hair and "blonde" thick high lights! haha what do they call it? skunk hair???:laugh:

    i had both hair colors... I LOVED BEING BLONDE i got hit on ALOT lol but my hair was really damaged and it sucked bleaching the roots and making sure everything was the same color...
    i am now brunette ( naturally born this way) and although i miss being blonde it feels like a breath of fresh air.. because if my roots grow in it doesnt matter..

    being blonde i am now on a no heat/ no hair spray trend and i had to cut my hair REALLY short.. :( it used to be really really long...

    here are before and afters..

    soooo thats me now... its strange not having long blonde hair but oh well... lol

    I LIKE BOTH!!!

    edited because i like this 100% blonde pic as an example better..... ( that is my real hair/ no extensions)


    I actually like the blonde! I know what you mean it's hard to keep up with. I feel like that platinum blonde look gets sooo much attention especially from guys! Maybe it's because blonde hair lights up in a dark bar? I dont know...

    I think I like the two middle photos the best... it's a rich unique color. Haha is the pink hair a wig?
