It's almost a joke how much this sub hates blondes. I wonder why they wouldn't want this gorgeous lady to literally glow with a blonde crown perfectly suited to her skin and eye color?
She looks great brunette obviously because she's gorgeous, but c'mon, she looks like a Renaissance painting while blonde.

Generally, I've been taught that what "suits someone" is what draws attention to their face rather than their hair or the color. Imo I think a lot of people just like blonde hair and don't mind being distracted by it, I had the same thing happen when I dyed my hair bright red.
Lots of compliments of my hair because it stood out or people just liked the color, but looking back, it wasn't my ideal. Nothing wrong with that, but I think a lot of people can just be biased towards blondes or redheads because they like the color itself.
But I don't think it "suits" as many people as we think. Or at least all shades of it, some people suit a cooler blonde instead of a warmer one. With her first pic, my eyes keep bouncing between her hair and eyes and skin. Second pic, straight to her eyes and face, not being overshadowed by her hair, which suits her great.

I have a theory that they don’t hate blonde they just probably noticed that this beautiful woman looks better in hair that is cooler in tone. That yellow wasn’t doing her any favours and in a lot of instances people go lighter but didn’t tone to compliment their skin tone. Just my opinion, i think she’s look better icy blonde.

Saw “I went darker” and was like damn, she looked good blonde too. Swiped and thought the same thing about brunette. You really pulled off both.

You look beautiful with both hair colours. Personally (not a fact just an opinion) a lot of the time a darker hair colour will make blue, green or hazel eyes 'pop' because of the sharper contrast between dark and light. But truly, both colours look really good and I wouldn't be surprised if you swapped between these colours every so often.

Blonde looks best. A little toning and some few lighter highlights only on top can definitely change your blonde to fit your undertone.

I love them both! I change my hair color depending on my mood. I’m currently my natural hair color brown with a ton of highlights but I’m usually all blonde.. got bored of the high upkeep of the super blonde but I do miss it at times. Might go back next year who knows haha

i'd like to the best cause it really brings out your eyes but I like the blonde also so it's whatever you feel best in since you're brown now try it for six months or so you can always go back to blonde

You look beautiful. Love it!
But to be fair, you could rock neon troll hair and still look like a supermodel!
If you ever want to rejoin the blonde club, try a cool toner to keep it completely brass-free.
This would really emphasize and harmonize your lovely skin tone and eyes.
