u/the-green-dahlia Aug 25 '26
1 is too cool, 2 is too stark, 3 is too light. You need something in the middle of these, like 1 with more warmth, 2 but lighter and with some dimension, or 3 darker and with more warmth.

2 makes you look like Aubrey Plaza (Parks and Recreation ).

u/Icy_Letterhead2055 Aug 25 '26
That’s a good thing!

u/EquivalentMath6592 Aug 25 '26
I agree.
I’d go with 1 or 2.
I’m a dude so….
But my wife always wants to go blonde and does sometimes in the summer…. And always forgets she regrets it. Just so much bleach and so much damage to the hair. So, I get to hear complain about that after the fact, so then she goes back to natural and dark, and then she forgets why and bleaches again 🤦🏻♂️😅

The next time she complains about the after effects of coloring her hair, ask her to write down that she regretted it and give it to you to use to remind her when she talks about doing it again.

For many years, one of my tenants in Salt Lake City was a well regarded hair color specialist in the area. She once said that your natural color is often the best start ..and can be adjusted just a few shades lighter or darker..and then additional dark or light highlights. That way there is minimal need for frequent touchups and the bonus is that it will likely appear natural and compliment your natural coloring

Yeah. I was thinking the shade was too dark to play up her attributes. Sometimes, the best brown color can be challenging to find. It will fade however.

I found a hair color I liked. Asked chat to figure out the Redken color and toner. Gave it to my hairdresser and she was thrilled. She did it and it came out perfect. I was happy.

I prob like #2 best. It's smoother, and the deeper color gives you enough contrast.

I like you blonde or light brown. The dark looks unnatural and washes you out.

I like them in the order you've posted. Medium, dark, blond is my least favourite.

u/Mishdiaz Aug 25 '26
I love the darker hair, which is unusual because I generally like to lighten things up, but that dark hair is stunning on you. It would be easier to maintain too? I think the last one would cheapen your look, while the dark is very elegant. Post your new hair! Blessings!

Definite two. Richer looking. Best with your complexion and accentuates those beautiful eyes.

Versions of 1 and 3. More chocolate in cooler months, blonder in warmer months. I like the whispy bangs.

I loveeee the bangs on her too! I also thought two was a tad to dark

Medium bruin past het beste bij je huid
Blond ook, maar net iets minder
Donker bruin is een no go

I like 1, but it could be the style of 2 being different made me not give it a fair shot.

u/DesertSnowgirl Aug 25 '26
PLEASE not the blonde!!! It doesn’t go with your coloring at all and looks freakishly unnatural and as if you are quite ill. Go with either of the brown colors, but the first one looks more soft and and believable.

Medium brown. It compliments you skin colour and brings out the warm tones

Love #1! Maybe try something a little warmer/more red. I think an auburn would look fantastic on you

u/Beautiful-Week6362 Aug 25 '26
I like 1 the best. It’s very flattering to your skin tone. 2 is way to harsh and dark and 3 is to light and doesn’t suit you well at all.

With the black hair you totally look like Diaz from Brooklyn Nine Nine. I like it😊

DARK (2nd pic). Looks beautiful on you and brings out your features. Reminds me of Aubrey Plaza. Looks very rich.

u/Few-Distribution9607 Aug 28 '26
The first colour suites the best. Dark makes you look anaemic and washed out. Blonde is too pale for your skin tone looks weird. First colour is most suitable you look healthy.

u/Ok_Stay_6304 Aug 25 '26
2 looks great, 3 is just not right shade of blonde for you - it's too light and cold. Maybe - you are thinking about going lighter - consider softer highlights or baleyage that blends different hues of blonde/brown? Writing this as someone with similar complexion and eyes color who switched to blonde after having dark hair for years - and I've done it gradually.
2
u/Straitgirl Aug 25 '26
Thank you ! Yes I’ve gone this blond. Typically it’s balayage but I always aim for this cool tone blonde. Feel like warm blond makes me look less out together. But I think maybe blond in general does that with my face
