Your hair in the first photo suits you the best out of all the photos I looked at. It suits your complexion and I don't think you should get a fringe because you don't need one, although you can pull off wearing one. You would just regret it! Don't do it!

I liked the blond with fringe best, but you could also pull off a strawberry blonde too.

I think the dark hair makes you look older and drains you, but the blonde is perfect in my opinion.

I totally get what you're saying about feeling the need to wear makeup with dark hair- I used to darken mine and while it looked great with a full face of gothic makeup, I looked kinda ill without it.
If only it was a strawberry blonde, I could live with that. The camera might lie a bit, but it's a brassy colour that washes me out. I like the idea of highlights and lowlights

I might go back to the blue at some point, but right now I'm in the mood to try something different

I'm quite impulsive when it comes to my hair, And while I sometimes regret doing something, it's only hair and it will grow back out. When I cut bangs I was happy with them. I hated growing them out, but when they got long enough to look good sideswept I was thrilled with that I appreciate your input!

I too think lighter colours work best with my skintone. My natural colour is a light ash blonde, and I wish there was a way to colour it back to that shade. The problem is that it's not one colour. It's a mix of nearly white, golden and darker blonde strands. As roots against an artificial colour it just looks mousy and boring, so it's hard to find motivation to grow it out. Hmmm, I just had a thought. Maybe a silver shampoo would help keep my hair a cooler blonde like my virgin hair?

I like the second picture at the first page. The colour really suits you. Also, the pic with the long brown hair and bleached bangs is really cool! Maybe you could have the auburn coour from the first pic I suggested and a deep red over bleached bangs like the second pic?

I am laughing because the one I chose from your album was "hair color gone terrible wrong"...

I thought you looked great as a red-head and I liked the fringe/ bangs.......

ETA: I did like you as a blonde too... very flattering on you

That is a good idea, Isilme Usually I have no trouble deciding what do with my hair, but right now there are so many different things I want to try, so it's hard to decide

Haha I've been a redhead a few times, but that is by far the worst shade of red I've ever had, in my opinion. I also like blonde when it's not that 'obviously bleached hair' look I've had a few times in the past.

I've been thinking about green, actually. I saw a pic earlier of a shade I really liked. Sadly there was no info on which colour it was. http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1368/...146767bb42.jpg

I voted "Other". I really like auburn/deep red on you- you should definitely look into henna!

I never feel strongly about other people's hair choices... until now!
I would say PLEASE don't cut in a fringe, you look so beautiful and striking without one.
Okay that's it.
Now do as you like!
