So i've been debating for the past few month if i should go from blonde to brunette, i just fancy a change but i'm scared that if i do change my hair colour and hate it... i won't be able to get it back to a decent blonde colour after. I'm a natural blonde but get highlights so i'm not sure if i should risk it or not?
i put together some pics from taaz.com

i love the style of number 2 but i just couldnt bare chopping all my long hair off lol!
i love the colour of number 1 but i reallllyyyy don't know

i've seen alot of girls go from blonde to brunette and it brings out their blue or green eyes more and warms their complexion... but if i do go brunette i would probably miss being blonde! i'm just confused with what to do... maybe i could go brunette in the winter and blonde in the summer?

what do you guys think?

Just go for it! Hair color is easy to change... I am naturally dirty blonde and I go back and forth between blonde and brunette all the time. DONT chop your long hair though... I did that last fall and sooooo regretted it!

I hope this doesnt sound bad, because its really ment to not! But I think this makes you look a little older. The pictures look good but i think you have fantastic hair already - i would kill for that blonde! I like no 4. It seems warmer. If you want a shorter choppier cut but love your long length then i see it as an investment to cut more off each time :p I had hair down to my ass and kept taking it shorter in places until i was completely sure and not going to miss the 10000inches of hair.

It would seem like your missing so much more hair (with that 'oh crap') factor than doing it slower. Silly maybe - but I love going to my salon lol. Any excuse.

Hey Becky!

If I were you, I'd do #1--love the colour but its a lighter brunette so it shouldn't be as jarring for you.

And I just went through this dilemma (to cut or not to cut--not going from blonde to brown as I'm a brunette!) and I just did a trim---NO big cuts! I think i'd miss my hair too much!

As a brunette, I'm partial to, um, brunette. lol HOWEVER, on you, I think you look best as a blonde. Probably because you are naturally blonde, it just seems to me that your skin and eyes and general coloring all together are most flattered by blonde shades. I think you should definitely keep your base color blonde, but add some depth and dimension by adding a few different darker shades of brown in there that complement the blonde. But natural darker shades. I REALLY like #5 on you. The darker streaks don't look fake and the colors all complement each other. But definitely get that done by a pro. That way, you wont lose your pretty blonde hair, but you can add some depth by adding the darker strands throughout, and then adding really dark strands underneath. But if I were you, I wouldn't do the whole super dark underlayer of your hair completely. I would just add a few really dark strands that would peek out underneath to the sides...not the whole under layer of hair...hope that makes sense!

Don't get me wrong, every single picture is gorgeous, but when I look at your coloring and eyebrows, blonde just looks so much better and brightens up your face.

I'm not naturally a brunette (my natural hair color is actually a dark blonde/brown color) but my natural hair color washes me out so much. But with the dark hair, my complexion is much warmer and I feel like I can get away with much more (makeup-wise) than I could with my natural hair color. But, you have to do what you're comfortable with. The good thing is, you can always change it back (although it will take awhile before your natural color resurfaces through regrowth). I like numbers 1 and 6 and it might be fun to go dark for the fall/winter...but you do look great as a blonde!

I really like number 6.

Honestly I think it will suit you, but you will never ever know until you try, It is only hair and can be dyed back again whenever you want.

I have had blonde highlights for 6 years and I recently went dark dark brown, at first I hated it, but now I love it to bits and feel much more better, when I see girls with highlights I think that it is such a good feeling to have a change!

btw, Katie Price has gone brunette and it suits her a lot.

I like number one the most...I wouldnt go much darker than that

I wouldnt go for the color change unless you are almost 100% on it....you dont want to end up regretting it. Same goes for the haircut....I think you'd end up regretting it if you chopped off a lot of your hair

A friend of mine who works with me is a natural brunette, but has had blonde hair for awhile. (Like really blonde)....well during the winter time she dyed it brown and liked it for a little while but then kept adding more blonde highlights and just went back to blonde. She felt better as a blonde and said she got more attention as a blonde lol

I actually love number four on you, I really like that specific shade of brown, and the style. I say give it a try, there are a lot of products out there that will help you get back to your natural color if you don't like it. I know of a product called color oops, but I notice you are from the U.K. and I don't know if it's available there. I'm sure you can go to a beauty supply store and maybe find a product that will remove hair color? I've heard good things about Goldwell system hair color remover, maybe this product is available to you? If anything you could use a semi-permanent dye also.

Wow, I love #1 and #3!

You look stunning as a blonde but think you should give a new color a try

You can always do lowlights if dying the whole thing seems too dramatic, I think those would add the depth you're looking for without as much change.

I like all the pics actually, although I think long hair suits you more than short (IMO). I'm naturally brunette but was blonde for 7 years. I get bored with my colour a lot and went from blonde to brunette and red once or twice in those seven years and never had any issues going back to blonde on my next visit. My hair dresser is very good - I had my hair stuffed by another cheaper salon in the early days and never forgot it. So my only advice is go to the BEST if you want to switch it around. But I think you should have fun with colour! And I think most colours would suit you! Good luck.

OMG... I am actually on the same spot too... I was doing highlights for a good 7 years now. I did change it to red and brunette a couple of times. And right now I am thinking to go brunette but for the fall/winter time.
I would sugest to do the same, color your hair like on #6 for fall/winter, and if you get bored or dont like it change back to the blonde in spring/summer time. But dont cut your hair! It looks so good!!!!
And blondes have more fun.
