Hey everyone^^ I'm starting to get roots and then i decided to look through some pictures of where i had grown out a lot of my natural hair color. Then i started wondering what my natural hair color even is called :P So here's 2 pictures of when i had grown out a lot of the henna. ^^

one with flash http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/5930/dsc03295m.jpg
and one without http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/6040/dsc03296dg.jpg

Please tell me what you all think^^
I've always thought it was dark blonde but looking at the pictures makes me unsure (the ends are orange/red due to grown out henna :P)

(PS i posted more pictures in this post at page 3 but i just copied them so that they are here too :D )
I have these pictures to help^^

It looks like a neutral blonde on the lighter side of mid-range to me, very pretty color!

Looks very similar to mine but yours is slightly lighter, mine I'd call a dark honey blonde, it sort of changes colour depending on the light from a lighting golden blonde as in my siggi, to a red, to a brown...I love having a colour that is so changeable!

You have a very pretty blonde

I'd say we share the same haircolor,that is ash blonde. :)
I do not believe that it is dark blonde as it seems to me that it is the kind of color that would go lighter when exposed to sunlight,isn't it?

Thank you :D (I love that my hair is at least blonde^^ I was born with a full head of brown hair and had brown hair until i was about 5-6 then it got golden blonde with a really bright yellow in it :P and then i kept having a mullet so i didn't think much of the color :O So it is hard to tell what my hair color is on all of the pictures of me throughout my childhood because of it being so short)

Thank you ^^ Well i guess time will tell once my hair gets longer^^ I'm loving the idea that the color will show much earlier on my new bangs (which i've decided to keep^^ So i will see my natural color really soon in them because of my hair growing so quickly^^)

yes it can^^ Well i think it still can :P i don't know anymore thanks to the henna :O (when i was younger it would change from dark blonde to a very very light blonde just by being in the sun :O) I used to think my mother had bleached my hair :P (but she told me she hadn't so .. wow :O)
Oh so it is ash blonde? :D Cool^^
Well we'll see once it grows out^^ (which i just can't wait to happen^^ I want to have my natural color so badly :P but i have no problem having the ends red for a LONG time while growing out my color^^)

Definitely blonde. Not a strawberry or flaxen blonde, somewhere between a honey and a dark blonde I would say.

A very pretty colour :)

I would say honey blonde too, it's more neutral than ash. It's also in the mid-ranges rather than a dark blonde. Beautiful!

It looks like you've taken the pictures in sunlight? In that case, I would assume that your hair normally looks dark neutral blonde, like this (http://www.lorealparisusa.com/_us/_en/default.aspx#/?page=top{userdata//d+d//|diagnostic|main:pdp//objectid+HCo12_20//{pdp_tab:pdp_overview//objectid+HCo12_20//}|media:_blank|nav|overlay:_blank}), since it looks medium blonde in the sunlight. You might want to take some pictures in other lights to give yourself a range. :) I'm growing out too and can't wait to have all of my natural color. Good luck!

ETA: the first picture looks neutral to me, but the second picture looks ashy. Does your signature pic show your roots as well? Because those also look ashy to me...

I would say light golden brown OR dark golden blonde.

I would have called your hair medium brown but honestly it is difficult to tell :) ...

You have some golden hues though so it might end up looking distinctly blonde as it grows out.

Dishwater blonde??
In the sun I am sure it would have its very own natural highlights. That is if you spent time in the sun at all.

Well i aren't sure :P I think my hair was too short to tell :P (well yes it was^^ But my hair loves to blend in with the red :O)
Thank you^^ and good luck to you too :D
