What is this bun/what is my haircolour? (whole bunch o' pics)

(And when I say 'a whole bunch', I mean a WHOLE bunch.)

Hair gurus, I need your help. First, the quick question. Do you know what bun this is?



Made by twisting until you have a tail with a loop up, and then spreading the loop around the twist. Is that a nautilus? Whatever it is, it's my new favourite bun. Holds like a rock!

But my biggest hair issue these days is, I don't know what haircolour I am. My hair has darkened quite a bit in the last couple of years, and while I still think I'm blonde, my mum has started to claim I'm a light brunette (which makes me sad, for some reason). So here I give you a collection of pictures to illustrate. They're all taken close to a window in daylight, and haven't been retouched at all. My colour changes so much depending on the light.



A few more:




As you can see, my length is quite different from my roots (though it's all virgin) and the underlayer is clearly darker than the canopy. But am I still blonde, or am I just clinging to what I used to be? Dark blonde? Ash blonde? Opinions greatly appreciated!

I don't know the bun, but I'd definitely call you a blonde Medium golden blonde

[christi.adell]

I agree with the Medium Golden Blonde

Definately blonde! The description sounds like a nautilus to me.

Beautiful blonde! *nodnod*

You're definitely blond in my book.

Your hair is so pretty! And not anywhere close to brown (not that I don't love brown -- I'm a very dark brunette myself!).

Also, I'm not extremely sure, but your bun does sound very much like both the nautilus and hypnotica buns. My hair is still slightly too short to do it comfortably at my thickness , but it looks gorgeous on you!

Definitely still blonde!! It's lovely.

I think that may be a nautilus, but I'm not sure. What I am sure about is that you are most definitly a blonde! Not even a dark blonde - I'd agree with the medium blonde.

You have lovely hair - and I would definitely say it is blonde. Perhaps your mum is too used to the bleached-to-death almost-white heads that I see all too many of here in Oslo? (Yes, I am another Scandinavian).
As to the bun, I think it is Hypnotica's Everyday bun. I like it a lot, too, and use it fairly frequently, though I tend to twist the rope more than she does in her video, so my version tends to look rather different from the end result in her video.

defenitly blond....
I'm darker in colour and still people call me blond...

And for the bun, I also think it's a nautilus or one of hypnotica's creations (for me they all look the same more or less )
