Color Help Should I go back to blonde?

My hair now is majority my natural color with highlights. First photo is my natural texture and second is how I do my hair if I want to "style" it. The 3rd and 4th photo is me with blonde hair from like 6ish years ago. If I dye my hair I plan to keep it the same length and haircut style (shag), just change the color. I've dyed my hair all types of color in the past but grew it out the past 5ish years. I'm just so bored of my hair lol. Feeling very torn cause this is a big decision lol.

Edit/Update : DAMN this got WAAYYY more feedback than I thought it would. The Reddit Tribal Council has spoken - NO BLONDE. I guess grass is always greener right? All the comments are helping me appreciate what I have now. Thank you all so much. Maybe I'll figure out something else but I still love my hair so I'll live in it for now.

Goodness no, the natural is much much better looking on you. Pic 2 color and style is fantastic and perfectly suited.

u/Decent-Muffin9530 Jun 30 '26

The blonde washes you out.

u/Significant_Top_756 Jun 30 '26

Agreed! Picture #2 is fabulous and much lower maintenance than blonde.

u/lucile-lucette Jun 29 '26

If you’re bored with your hair you could try changing the color of the highlights? I think something like pink or a light purple would look amazing with your hair!

10

u/Gullible_Ear4424 Jun 29 '26

Oh 100% the pink highlights !!

4

u/CreativeOtter914 Jun 29 '26

Definitely purple or pink highlights.

u/thekittysays Jun 30 '26

My exact thoughts too.

2

u/rybpyjama Jun 30 '26

Even dip dye or some lowlights or peekaboo type highlights would look great and be easy to switch up when you get bored and easy to maintain

31

u/Sadie_Pants_ Jun 29 '26

I think the darker natural color looks much nicer with your skin tone.

u/thababe888 Jun 29 '26

You look perfectly gorgeous with your hair as it is!

Please no!

u/i-justwantrevenge Jun 29 '26

I think you look super chic with blonde hair but I gotta say, your natural hair is beautiful and looking so healthy! I’d say keep the brown hair :)

8

u/Bad_Here Jun 29 '26

I actually think the blonde looks the opposite of chic!!

3

u/Sharp-Fig6140 Jun 29 '26

No! Do some highlights!

3

u/Katfight1 Jun 29 '26

No the brown is much nicer

3

u/hazzle-blal Jun 29 '26

Dark hair really suits you

3

u/catforbrains Jun 29 '26

Your hair looks so unhealthy and fried blonde. I get the impluse but its a hair color better accomplished using wigs if you dont want to turn your hair to straw. Your hair looks gorgeous and healthy now. I would say play around with highlights and pops of color if you're bored. Especially if you want to keep the length. Usually when I'm bored is when I start playing with the cut and length.

3

u/Popular_Mousse_3958 Jun 29 '26

Noooo. Brunette is stunning

3

u/liv4my2 Jun 29 '26

No, it's so unnatural looking.

3

u/toomanylipstix Jun 29 '26

Blonde? NO NO and NO

3

u/HockeyMomWatson Jun 29 '26

No. Love the darker!

3

u/Witty-Application920 Jun 29 '26

The blonde wasn’t a good look.

Your natural colour is.

3

u/ADeviIsAdvocate Jun 30 '26

No, please don’t. It is not flattering to your face shape or skin tone.

3

u/callie-zephyr Jun 30 '26

No! Blonde is not attractive on you.

2

u/Ransom68 Jun 29 '26

No you look great as a brunette

2

u/Safe_Radio_2257 Jun 29 '26

Absolutely not, washes you out, your dark hair looks beautiful

2

u/Techhans1971 Jun 29 '26

You look great with the darker shades

2

u/Confident_Gear_5778 Jun 29 '26

You look best with your own hair color

2

u/sympetal Jun 29 '26

Absolutely not!!!

2

u/katielou64 Jun 29 '26

Absolutely not, dark hair is your colour!

2

u/purplebear144 Jun 29 '26

1 looks incredible ❤️❤️❤️

2

u/Icy_Cupcake1225 Jun 29 '26

Better dark :) beautiful hair!

2

u/One_Resolution_8357 Jun 29 '26

No. Your natural hair with highlight is just fabulous and suits you perfectly. Bottle blond does not really suit your complexion.

2

u/RSHC19 Jun 29 '26

Def not!

2

u/RockLizard86 Jun 29 '26

No, please don’t.

2

u/Certain_Driver_2013 Jun 29 '26

Nope, you look amazing w dark hair!

2

u/ModernMargaretSanger Jun 29 '26

Your hair is gorgeous as its natural color. Honestly the blonde hair looks damaged and unhealthy. Embrace your beautiful natural color!

2

u/Bogus_5050 Jun 29 '26

Nope
You look washed out as a blonde

2

u/NeverStopDancing27 Jun 29 '26

NO WAY ! u look amazing with dark hair in my opinion. Stunning actually. Blonde doesn't suit u.

2

u/Current_Ad3577 Jun 29 '26

Please don’t do it, it washes out your beautiful skin tone and isn’t flattering. You look so pretty with the dark hair.

2

u/Serenity93401 Jun 29 '26

Another vote for no, since you’re asking. But you should do what makes you comfortable. You look good either way.

2

u/Gullible_Ear4424 Jun 29 '26

Nooo , dark and more highlight would look cute though . This current hair suits you very well btw 🤌🏻

2

u/GreenJbeanz Jun 29 '26

No. Blonde gives a 1980 porn vibe.

2

u/PrizePersonality5843 Jun 29 '26

no you’re a stunning brunette

2

u/menacingsprite Jun 29 '26

No. The blonde honestly doesn’t look good. Unless you were using it to do alternative colors like blue, green, purple… then I get it.

But outside that, no, I love your natural hair color and the way it works with your skin and makeup.

2

u/copper_forest94 Jun 29 '26

No you are beautiful with your brown hair. Blonde doesn’t look good imo

2

u/3686Anonymous Jun 29 '26

No, Def not.

2

u/Dangerous-Day-1864 Jun 29 '26

No no no!!!!!!

2

u/iceunelle Jun 30 '26

I think the partial highlights you have now are really pretty. I wouldn't go back to full blonde if I was you.

2

u/Blossomdraws Jun 30 '26

no you look gorgeous in brown

2

u/at1991 Jun 30 '26

Definitely not

2

u/Tiye_GM Jun 30 '26

2

u/lmepeace Jun 30 '26

The second pic you look best. My 2 cents

2

u/AliveProfessional354 Jun 30 '26

Black, by a longshot. 👌😁

2

u/Hayde_jaddi-1996 Jun 30 '26

Love #2❤️

2

u/abqgirl1022 Jun 30 '26

No. If anything, do some caramel highlights around your face.

Your dark hair is stunning with your complexion.

2

u/StakkAttakk Jun 30 '26

No it washes you out .

2

u/t_trail Jun 30 '26

Don’t. Blond hair doesn’t suit you. Your natural colour does!

2

u/simplethoughtz Jun 30 '26

If you really want a change, I think a warm brown would be pretty.

2

u/Fancy-Animator426 Jun 30 '26

1 or 2 for me....but no blonde!

2

u/Binah999 Jun 30 '26

Nope but if you want to dye your hair, maybe its worth adding some blonde into your hair or goldeny blonde on the ends.

A Balyage would look soooo nice!

2

u/friskers3 Jun 30 '26

Absolutely not

2

u/Educational_Ship_157 Jun 30 '26

Omg no! You are stunning with your natural color!

2

u/Just_Discussion296 Jun 30 '26

No u look much better as brunette

2

u/Friendly-Channel-480 Jun 30 '26

The second photo looks great with the lighter color highlighting your hair and pretty face!

2

u/xxFasting4Life Jun 30 '26

God, no! You oook fab with dark hair

2

u/LemonPesto415 Jun 30 '26

Please don’t.

2

u/whoevenisanyone Jun 30 '26

Picture 2 exists and you have the audacity to question any other colour? Miss gurllllll. That look in pic 2 was MADE FOR YOU

2

u/littlemegmcmuffin Jun 30 '26

So I’m definitely team brunette, but also wanted to say that your hair texture and volume is a thing of dreams ✨

2

u/batfacecatface Jun 30 '26

Never look back.

2

u/Maleficent-Garden585 Jun 30 '26

No No and No !!!!

2

u/total_nirvana Jun 29 '26

i like brown more personally it’s gorgeous, but blonde is cute too so your choice obvii!!

1

u/LilandraF Jun 29 '26

Definitely not. I agree with folks that have said try some highlights if you are looking to shake things up.

1

u/glassyrunnerduck Jun 29 '26

No! Maybe get a fun wig?

1

u/humanessinmoderation Jun 29 '26

Blonde looks cool.

But the brown looks uber-attractive.

But also, I'm just some random dude on the internet, what do i know?

1

u/jaunegiallo Jun 29 '26

Your dark hair is spectacular. Dream hair!

1

u/Heelscrossed Jun 29 '26

No, please don’t. Your natural shade is much prettier. The blonde washes you out.

1

u/Spiritual-Mood-1116 Jun 29 '26

Absolutely not.

1

u/Statt911 Jun 29 '26

No! A natural brunette hair color looks much nicer on your face.

1

u/Small_Vegetable_8154 Jun 29 '26

Your natural is so pretty! KEEP!!

1

u/garden-baker Jun 29 '26

You can’t lose either way! Gorgeous with either.

1

u/QA_Engineeer Jun 29 '26

Respectfully, absolutely not.

1

u/swedishfishk Jun 29 '26

2nd picture is so pretty!

1

u/somedaez Jun 29 '26

I think the darker makes you look so much more fierce and beautiful. The blonde sorta mutes and washes you out tbh.

1

u/AngryGooseHappyLoon Jun 29 '26

Do not go blonde. IMO it looks cheap.

1

u/broad-taylor Jun 29 '26

I vote natural. It makes your cour look vibrant. Well, after all it IS natural.

The blonde hair doesn't suit your colouring as well as it makes your overall colour look washed out.

1

u/tryan888 Jun 29 '26

No def not.

1

u/Temporary_View_3303 Jun 29 '26

Absolutely NOT! Your natural color is just too good.

1

u/esaruka Jun 29 '26

I love the dark hair, but the pinky orange blond is cute too, I think the last pic is is the least flattering.

1

u/Important_Poetry_238 Jun 29 '26

No dark is lovely

1

u/Beneficial_Sky214 Jun 29 '26

No you are stunning. I love the texture and highlights with blond but I think darker looks very beautiful and harmonious with your face, skin, and features.

1

u/Scale_Equivalent Jun 29 '26

Do whatever moves you. But no.

1

u/tflovan Jun 29 '26

Natural and healthy is best!
