Since my hair is now medium brown that looks more golden brown in the sun, I guess I'm officially a brunette now (but I'm not posting pictures to prove it, since I hate pictures of myself). It used to be strawberry blonde to red until I lost it to chemo. When it came back, it grew in a darker blonde that kept darkening until it got to my current color. Though my hair has darkened (though I'm not sure if it was from chemo or just darkened naturally), my eyebrows and body hair are the same color they've always been. I haven't been a brunette since my senior year of high school (which is over thirty years ago, though I still remember it like it was yesterday) when I dyed it both golden brown and chestnut brown. I dyed it the darker color when one of my classmates thought it was red instead of brown (which was probably due to the lighting in the classroom), so I dyed it a darker shade to neutralize the red tones.
Though some redheads dye their hair after their hair starts to fade and lose its vibrancy, I'm fine with it and won't dye it again until it starts to go gray/white (if that ever happens, since I'm turning 51 at the end of July, and still no gray hairs), since it would totally wash me out. I'll be keeping my current color when this happens, since it will be too much work to go back to my old color (which is why I haven't done it, since my roots would grow in medium brown and I would look like any other brunette that dyes her hair a lighter color, even if its only a few shades lighter).
