Question Any suggestions on what to do with my hair?

I've just uploaded an album called "Hair History", and looking through these old pictures really made me want to do something with my hair. If anyone can be bothered to look, I'd love to hear what you think would suit me. No suggestion is too boring or too wild, and I'm not easily offended so feel free to laugh at my colour disasters

My current colour washes me out, so something needs to be done. If there's one thing I don't like it's boring hair on my head. I've been thinking about dying it vampire red like this: http://www.manicpanic.com/images2/be...t/vampred2.jpg I'm also contemplating a fringe, but it's so annoying to grow it back out. Please help

I agree that your current color looks a little flat and doesn't flatter your skin tone very much. Your face is lovely, and I don't prefer the fringe on you. I would go with a slightly deeper red, if you go red, than the manic panic color you choose. The blue looked amazing.

Thank you for your input, Amara A slightly deeper red is a good idea, I just gotta watch out so I don't pick a warm shade. I loved the blue colour, but as I've had that recently I'd rather try another colour now.

I added a poll so it's easier to suggest something.

I wouldn't go with a heavy fringe, but a nice, side-swept bang would look nice. I wouldn't go for black, I think the color is too dark for you. The lighter auburn looked nice and the blue looked awesome, so I imagine the deep red would look nice too. I do like the blonde on you, but I think you'd be unhappy with ash blonde. You might consider adding a few colorful streaks instead of all over color to perk up your head.

I liked the red the best, I would stick with red/brown/auburn shades, I liked that range best on you over the really light/dark. I think with your face shape that having some layers or side bangs at about chin length would look nice, adding just a bit of horizontal width to the narrower part of your chin. You are beautiful and I had fun looking over all your past looks!

I agree with what some of the others have said: side-swept bangs and a dark red (darker than the manic panic) would look great on you. Please be sure to post pictures of yourself after you make up your mind!

I love the blue. Maybe a different shade of blue?

I liked the side-swept fringe too I agree with the black being very dark on me, and I can only pull that off with makeup and dyed eyebrows. Adding a few colourful streaks is a great idea. Thank you!

I was happy with the auburn shade as well, but it fades so incredibly fast You are right about the layers. I always feel better when I have something to add a bit of interest around my chin/cheek area. Thank you very much for the compliment and your input!

Side-swept bangs seems to be a good choice. Ideally I want something a bit darker than the manic panic pic I linked to, but I really want that bright red type of colour. I will definitely post pics when I've decided on a colour/style.

I absolutely loved looking at your hair history. You are able to carry off such a wide range of colors with your skin tone.

I really liked Auburn shade on you. It seems to pop on you.

That said, you totally rock the blue shade. However, you did that recently and change is fun.

Personally I don't think I would do Black or Dark Brown since you might be tied to feeling like you needed to wear make up regularly.
(Based on your comment.)
