Dark Hair Color Change: Advice for Dirty Blonde Hair?


Question
I have natural dirty blonde hair, with a tad bit of highlights. It is just below the shoulders and i have side sweep bangs. I want something different for my school play, graduation, and my Confirmation. Should I go a darker shade? My eyebrows match my natural color, dirty blonde, so I'm afraid if I go any darker it'll look weird because my eyebrows won't match. ANY ADVISE?!

Answer
i would say no to an all over color change. if you are interested in darkening, get lowlights put in by a trained professional colorist. this is a process that puts streaks of darker browns into the natural color, but leaves most of the color as it is.another option is a highlight/lowlight, which puts in darker and lighter alternating shades to make a more dimensional, natural color change.both will be a prettier end result, as i have experienced many young women who think they want to be darker-until they are all over darker- then they want it right back out. it's not that easy to erase, and ends up damaging the hair needlessly. a more realistic and pretty result is from lowlighting,then your brows and everything will still look good with the slightly deepened color.
