Nina Dobrev- What is her hair colour?

[xoxophelia]

Personally I love your black hair. I wouldn't change it for a thing :P

But it is up to you if you want to color your hair. Coloring back to black should be easy when or if you decide you want virgin hair again. I'm currently growing out old dye and while the color difference isn't too bad anymore, the quality is.

I'd say a warm dark brown. Could you try honey lightening?

aw thanks, If there was a way I would to swap hair colours with you, have a pretty shade of brown. Im assuming you have naturally dark brown hair? I don't want to drastically change my hair thats why I just wanted a few shades lighter, I think the closest brown to black is chocolate brown and this would match my skin tone too. I give up, Im just going to try natural treatment if it works it works and if it doesn't then I will just make the best of what Ive got.

I always love her straight, silky shiny hair

There is one problem with your perception of her hair though. Naturally, she has CURLY hair. It's just that when you admire her silky straight hair which is not naturally that way but severely handled to look straight you support all the curl hate.

Well honey is a bit sticky but its good natural treatment, I will definetly try this, worth giving it a shot. Thanks for reminding me, I need to try this but keep forgetting to do it.

In Vampire Diaries her hair is always so straight, I didn't know her natural hair was curly. She has beautiful hair anyway, curly or straight I like the silkyness but I do prefer her hairstyle on Vampire Diaries.

Well, actually her hair is curly in The Vampire Diaries pretty often, when she plays Katherine and not Elena her hair is always curly. And it only looks silky because of all the styling (and proper light on set) but when you look at HQ pictures you can see how damaged it really is.

She has very nice hair but I think that is her natural color. I wouldn't recommend dying, you would need to use bleach to get black hair lighter.

I would second trying a honey lightening treatment. Here is the thread. Any questions you should ask Ktani, she knows everything!

mariika- I don't watch the Vampie Diaries regularly, but you are right when she plays Katherine she has curly hair. And yep I guess everyone on TV has beautiful hair because it is styled so much with lots of products. I do like her colour though.

BrightEyes7- Thanks for the link, I will try the honey treatment, Ive also read just now that Cinnamon can make hair lighter too.

Only one thing im worried about, I read that Honey & Cinammon contains hydrogen peroxide and this is what it lightens hair, would it stunt hair growth if used too much?

I don't know about your hair, but going just a little bit lighter won't damage as much as going completely blond. There are plenty of members with gorgeous, long and dyed hair, so it can be done!

As for achieving the color with henna and indigo, they can only deposit pigment, they won't lighten your hair.

I had good results with honey lightening, but you might need several applications.
Here's ktani's wonderful thread if you are interested: http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/...read.php?t=148

And in case you decide to use a chemical dye, please read this one:

In any case, good luck! Your hair is beautiful.

You probably would need to use a high lift brown, like Loreal's Les True Brunettes in one of their Ultimate light brown shades to lift black hair to brown. http://www.amazon.com/LOreal-Prefere...ef=pd_sbs_bt_2
