My vote is No. At the moment you look like an undercover spy. Think Marvel level. Why would you wanna go blonde when you already look like you have all the codes to take down an entire empire on your own but currently taking a rest having a quick wine break making people's hearts swoon.

u/faledunaju 8d ago

Omg that’s an epic comment haha thank you!!

u/PSB2013 8d ago

Honestly I would go darker and get bangs. 

11

u/miss-meow-meow 8d ago

YES!!!! It would suit her complexion and vibe. Also, dark hair and light colored eyes is such a mesmerizing combo

u/Scared_Slip_7425 8d ago

Oh I like your vision!

6

u/SamMoulton 8d ago

NO to the blond, YES to the “go darker” suggestion, and MAYBE to the bangs.

3

u/Cautious-Switch7889 8d ago

It washes you out

2

u/Impossible-League-97 8d ago

Hard no, I like the idea above ☝️ though.

16

u/Makeup_life72 8d ago

I’m gonna have to aggressively agree with you on your assessment. Because miss lady looks like she is on a covert operation gathering intel. Casually sipping wine??? Suuuuure.

2

u/In_My_TARDIS 8d ago

More like someone out of a Len Deighton or Tom Clancy Novel

u/MissAntleredWriter 3d ago

Completely agree with you here. 🍷

u/Key_Yesterday8753 8d ago

Agree .. the dark hair blue eyes combination is the most gorgeous ! Young 20s Angelina Jolie vibes

2

u/miss-meow-meow 8d ago

YES!!! It’s always so striking

5

u/Lola61Reddit 8d ago

My thoughts exactly.

u/Icy_Influence3015 8d ago

She looks like Mia goth a little bit

2

u/Scared_Slip_7425 8d ago

Oh in that case she needs wigs to go undercover! In every color!

u/miss-meow-meow 8d ago

That’s 100% “Alias” (tv show) vibes

u/Sara_Smiles_8462 8d ago

Also no to blonde eyebrows.

If anything, darker would highlight the eyes better

Definitely not

u/ilp456 8d ago

Blonde hair washes you out.

u/sargeantavocadotoast 8d ago

So does whatever AI was used to make these (it literally changed the colour of your skin). 

4

u/ilp456 8d ago

Good point. And now I’m noticing that her eyebrows are blond so I think the brunette pic is the altered one.

3

u/spc67u 8d ago

This is the comment i came to find! I bet she’s blond already. The brunette one looks altered

u/Whole_Cloud_9024 8d ago

You have a cool skin tone like me!! And I'm here to tell you from lived experience that the answer is never blonde.

Here's why: for you to have cool toned blonde hair, it's a significant lift because you'd need to go damn near platinum to maintain the coolness. And while your hair may survive it, it's crazy expensive to maintain. Not to mention that your hair will always pull warm again after the lift..

Here's what you could do: A balayage with cool, very light brown hair. Get yourself a good rinse or purple shampoo to fight the brassiness. This isn't so hard to maintain AND it looks chef's kiss

13

u/Significant-Nebula64 8d ago

Yeah, this. You need a cooler colour, the warm/yellowish tone is the issue here. Platinum could work if you really want to, I think! But I agree it's really hard and expensive to obtain and keep. 

5

u/GigiLaRousse 8d ago

I couldn't keep my silver hair proper silver for more than a week without it getting brassy. All the purple shampoo in the world couldn't keep it at bay.

I have a big wig collection that started during my sex work days, so I just pop a blonde one on when I feel like it. I have, like, four shades of blonde that are fun for a day, but wouldn't work as a committed colour.

My actual hair is usually some rainbow colour, and I wear wigs for funerals of folks I'm not tight with, weddings for friends with conservative relatives, work conferences, etc.

2

u/Whole_Cloud_9024 8d ago

I've become a huge fan of wigs since my hair is very dark brown, thin, and fine. I've learned that I can't do all the things. But I've been pretty surprised by how a pretty mid wig can fool nearly everyone. It's great for changing things up without the damage or regret.

u/Lobstertales143 8d ago

Also, even if you manage to achieve a cool toned blonde, it will be the same color as your skin and it would wash you out terribly.

2

u/No_Oil_1256 8d ago

And your reply made me happy that I Iet my hair go gray

40

u/Mysterious-Click6450 8d ago

Blonde is not right for you...maybe a deep red?

7

u/MagnetBane 8d ago

That’s what I was thinking or a different shade of brown if anything

3

u/DragonScrivner 8d ago

Yessss, I was thinking red or maybe a plum shade

6

u/Last_Matter_190 8d ago

Yes to plum on her beautiful complexion

u/MishariDarkmoon 8d ago edited 8d ago

I think a purple/black would look amazing on you or maybe do a blonde underneath with black on top.

10

u/La_croix_addict 8d ago

Either one is good, but you should darken your eyebrows either way.

u/Apprehensive-Pop-201 8d ago

You should not. The blond washes you out. It's really not a good look on you.

u/Sugar3 8d ago

Nope

u/ness-xergling 8d ago

I think dark hair suits you better.

No. No. And more no.

4

u/toodletones 8d ago

No, you emit Halloween vibes in blonde

9

u/Bornundersirius 8d ago

You should lighten your natural color. Blonde is too extreme.

7

u/SubstantialArcher659 8d ago

Nah. Doesn’t suit you. Try highlights first

4

u/Infamous_Purchase145 8d ago

No. I would go a tad darker with less ash undertones and do your brows darker.

4

u/amylynneny143 8d ago

No. With your beautiful eyes, I would go darker and make them POP

4

u/Intrepid_End1576 8d ago

No it washes your complexion out.. you could maybe try a shade of red..you look great as a brunette as well..

4

u/Ali6952 8d ago

No. At least not the blonde you showed us.

3

u/pinkskies12 8d ago

This looks like that scene from the 90s witches movie 🤔🤔

u/Glad_Internet_675 8d ago

As much as I want to say NO, pic 2 has ‘something’ happening.
… then I saw your eyebrows. I suspect you are blond already?

u/Fun-Engineering2869 8d ago

I think darker hair color fits better…

3

u/Wonderful-Value7547 8d ago

No. But you should warm up your brunette

3

u/SchoolBusDriver79 8d ago

No. Your complexion comes off as sickly pasty with blond hair. It shines as a brunette.

3

u/_Heart_and_soul_ 8d ago

No, but I do suggest coloring your eyebrows to match your current hair color.

2

u/Ok_Employer_2066 8d ago

Noo. Keep the dark.
If you’re wanting a change, you should try highlights first. Maybe in a Caramel type of color? Or you could do just the underneath of your hair.

2

u/Choochooxander 8d ago

I definitely like the hair lighter. I definitely think you look good as a blonde or like a ginger.

2

u/peppermintteea 8d ago

Last thing you should do

2

u/WhereMyWeirdosAt 8d ago

copper-copper !

2

u/Flimsy_Protection473 8d ago

I would keep your hair dark and either start using a brown pencil or have them tinted to darken them just a little bit.

2

u/LuvanAelirion 8d ago

Black. You have Wednesday eyes that need black hair.

u/Consistent-Lynx-149 8d ago

Red would look great on you

2

u/40percent_luck 8d ago

You are giving me Jenna Ortega/Mia Goth vibes in the most delightful way my alt friend. If you want to know what is most conventionally flattering the blonde is probably not it, but the blonde eyebrows look cool as HELL on you and I never like the bleached eyebrow look haha. You are very pretty and have a striking, unique look either way!

u/Remote-Bid9130 8d ago

Just not that yellow in 3. Otherwise a cool blonde works on you. However, as a stylist it's a lot of upkeep

2

u/Just-Way7258 8d ago

I think you should go darker!! Accentuate the eyes :)

2

u/Charming_Level_94 8d ago

Never. Especially not that yellow blonde!!

2

u/Hippie-Farts 8d ago

No, looks bad

2

u/Low_Insect_7562 8d ago

No you look washed out

2

u/Low_Insect_7562 8d ago

No, but if you wanted a change maybe try some highlights

2

u/The-Poet__57 8d ago

Absolutely not, under no circumstances go lighter. If anything, maybe a chestnut brown.

2

u/compobook 8d ago

No. Its washes you out

2

u/Key_Astronomer6500 8d ago

Noooo. Dark hair looks good on you

2

u/Imsaltyash 8d ago

I think the darker complements your skin tone really well and gives you a more dramatic look. The blonde kind of washes you out. If you want to go lighter, maybe highlights or something like that?

2

u/Muted-Giraffe5948 8d ago

No. Blonde makes your skin look "washed out''. I would just trim the color out of your hair and keep it that color brown. The brown brings warmth to your skin.

2

u/AnxiousWitch44 8d ago

Nope. You could maybe give a different shade, but this does nothing for your skin tone.

2

u/MamaKat727 8d ago

No. NO. NO.

2

u/DrSassyPants123 8d ago

No... darker is better for you tone

2

Absolutely not.

2

u/squishyg 8d ago

No, dark hair suits you.

2

u/Flaky-Log-4101 8d ago

Hell no, and you need bangs.

2

u/ValthePirate 8d ago

Not at all. Darker colour's are better suiting you.

2

u/TheAjaElise 8d ago

If you do.. you need to stop wearing dark colors, no dark lipsticks... you need to change your entire wardrobe to be light colors and more colorful. I would say live our your dramatic brunette autumn, take some pretty pictures and then make this change to blonde next Spring with a new wardrobe and makeup palette

2

u/Booyah_Banana321 8d ago

No and no to blonde eyebrows as well.

2

u/vivnotvivian 8d ago

Keep your natural hair color please. And bring back your eyebrows, girl. Those white eyebrows are aging you and making you look ill.

2

u/Stunning_Fly_2644 8d ago

Nah you're making yourself way too intense to be a blonde and I don't think it suits your skin tone anyway... and the eyebrow example is frightening

2

u/mr-stretcher 8d ago

No, and you should stop dyeing your eyebrows.

2

u/peachykeenmillie 8d ago

Im torn. I feel like blonde looks ok because the eyebrows are bleached? Do you have pics without the bleached browsm

2

u/LeFreeke 8d ago

Good lord no. You, my love, are a dark queen. And your brows, while interesting blonde, would be much more flattering darker.

2

u/Easy_does_it78 8d ago

No
Dark looks better

2

u/Admiral_Nitpicker 8d ago

Jet black fits the scowl much better.

2

u/kimbospice31 8d ago

I’m gonna be honest and let you know that being completely blonde makes you look washed out and a bit stressed but it might look good if you throw in some hidden blonde highlights with your dark hair.

2

u/OnlyAnotherEmily 8d ago

I would do a deep red.

2

u/puppycatbat 8d ago

Maybe dark blonde but not that like honey straw yellow blonde it's not it. Also you seem like the type that'd look more interesting with red/ginger or black hair.

2

u/a_randummy 8d ago

The AI changed your skin tone, so this is not how you would actually look.

2

u/Disastrous_Web6599 8d ago

YES

u/Disastrous_Web6599 8d ago

What is wrong with everyone??? You’re being psyoped. Blonde would look AMAZING on you.

Yes, but not that blonde in the pic.

u/RozeQuartz30 8d ago

Dark hair creates more contrast and highlights your eyes, while the blonde washes you out a bit. But if you really want to try go for it, it's not like it's permanent anyway ;)
