Henna vs. Natural

[divinedobbie]

So apparently me and Stray_mind had the exact same idea in mind so I am also turning to you guys for advice on whether I should keep hennaing or if I should grow out my natural colour (again). I really can't decide.

My natural (top half only, I was growing out bleach):

I prefer the natural color!

[DreamSheep]

I like both equally (maybe natural a teeny tiny bit more) - but with the henna you really remind me of the actress playing Sansa Stark from Game of Thrones :)

[cherrybird]

I actually think the henna suits you very well. I like that it's a more subtle copper on you.

[turtlelover]

In this case, I think I like the natural slightly better, though if you love the henna, it would still look amazing to continue using it.

[gthlvrmx]

I like the natural color better :)

[cheshir3]

Henna. It adds a pop of red that's pretty.

[nerdymomma]

I think the henna suits you quite well. I don't think there is a wrong move for you though, because you are lovely with either shade.

[elsieivy]

I really like the henna, but since you're feeling conflicted I'd hold off on using more. Sometimes henna fades a bit if you only do it once, but after multiple coats it's pretty impossible to remove. I wouldn't put henna more henna in your hair unless you're 100% sure you like it.

They both look good, but I like the henna a bit more. Your natural color does 'match' your skin-tone better, and you look pretty in a girl-next-door sort of way, but the henna makes you look a touch more exotic.

[mamaherrera]

these are my thoughts exactly!

Hmmmm... I am not sure. I like your natural colour in the second picture and i like your Henna in the first one (of the two with hennaed hair).. It's hard to choose when hair color is so dependable on lighting.. :) Your henna shade does seem very subtle and it makes your skin look warmer and your eye color more "visible"... I think you could go with both equally well tbh.... :D

[Dreams_in_Pink]

Umm, am i the only one who doesn't see much difference? :hmm:

I think both look beautiful on you.

[Begemot]

I think henna red suits you since it makes your eyes seem greener but your skin tone looks better with your natural hair. My vote goes for going natural, your own lighter hair color looks great.

[Fira]

Both are very beautiful and both suit you. Still I prefer the natural color a bit more. :)

[SleepyTangles]

I love your hennaed hair! IMHO it makes your eyes pop and your skin glow :)

Hello Divinedobbie.

I don't know whether my answer will help, as I don't know what I would do if I were in your position... :hmm:

You have been waiting long to get this nice virgin hair. Is it really a good idea to go for some color, even henna ?... Personnally, I'm determined not to change my color anymore. So can I honestly advise somebody else to go for a henna ?? Lol. Because I sort of like very much the effect of henna on your hair !! :D It gives a nice contrast and makes your face more vivid, "warming it up" somehow. But in the same time, your natural colors (hair, skin, eyebroys) are more in the subtle cold tones... so what's the best ????

Well, in case you decide for henna, the risk is that you'll be needing/wanting to go on (to catch up color, re-enlighten, etc.), and then it's going to be a hell of a hard job to get rid of it. So I think I would wait a little until I am 100% sure I want it... and may be get enough time to convince myself that my natural color is just great and naturally made to suits my skin, eyes and eyebrows ! :) :)

Good luck, and whatever you will choose looks very nice !

[Nebulae]

I love your hennaed hair! IMHO it makes your eyes pop and your skin glow :)

Yep, I agree! :D

[Dickiebow]

I prefer your natural colour and love the lighter hair around your hairline. It's very classy. The henna does suit you but it looks dyed. Good luck with your decision.

[Phexlyn]

I don't really have a preference, since the henna is very subtle on you. I agree with Mimha, though, that it's harder to get virgin hair so if you like it, don't do anything rash. It's easier to colour it than to have virgin hair all the way down to your goal length, and you've already made quite a bit of progress.

[DKSABS]

You really can't go wrong either way, as both look really good. If I had to choose one, I like the henna a little better.

[Stiria]

They both look good, but I prefer the natural color.

[divinedobbie]

I really can't decide but I think I'll hold off hennaing again for now and see how I feel as more of my natural colour grows out.
