NPR: Need hair advice

I'm naturally dirty blonde, but I start my dying adventures in college and I'll probably never get back to natural again. So for most of my adult life I've been blonde. Before I got pregnant I dyed my hair back to my natural color...as close as i could. Then I went back to blonde and then this past august I went dark brown. I'm always up for a change.

My mom hates it (she thinks I don't look like her now), my friends love it, I like it most days...other days I feel like I'm wearing a wig. I work in a male dominated field and my co-workers like the brown. Lately my DH has been asking me to go back.

Now now my options are...back to blonde, try to go natural again so I don't have to keep dying it and I'll have the same hair color as DS, or stay brown. TIA! Chat Icon

I like the dark brown better than the natural and blonde. You can def pull it off. Maybe throw some highlight in the dark brown.

Im naturally dirty blonde. I currently have dark brown and blonder highlights with my natural dirty blonde. I love it, i get a lot of compliments.

I think you can pull them all off. Chat Icon

With that said, I like the natural color best and I think with a just a few highlights it would brighten everything up and look awesome! So somewhere in between natural and very blonde I guess..

I like them all, but for some reason I really like the brown. I like Jenn's idea about highlights...maybe give that a try?

LOVE the dark brown...you look very exotic!
Maybe to meet in the middle you can add some highlights? but I love the way it is.

I agree, but I love dark brown hair.

I would though, add some caramel highlights to show off the color of your eyes.

Im liking the natural color the best. but i think the dark is good too and if you threw in some lighter hilites that might look really nice.
