my birthday is coming up which means i'll have some money for a trip to the beauty store for some hair dye. and i'm starting to get sick of dark hair...so i'm thinking of doing something light and fresh for summer. i'm NW15 with green eyes. annnd i'm thinking of doing one of these:

this is me now:

i love dark hair, but i have a really huge forehead and in the summer i usually put my hair back (including the bangs which cover that monstrous thing) and the dark is just too much of a contrast and i think it looks funny, so i'm going back to blonde...only this time i'm going to like platinum blonde.

which of the first three photos should i model my colour after?

the first one would look best with your feminine face...i think the other too are just a little too harsh for you - don't get me wrong, you could pull it off...but i just imagine you with a more soft and feminine look

Oh would you just shut up about your supposedly "huge" forehead
smiles.gif
You are a beautiful girl. I've been looking at your FOTD's for a few months now, and I never once thought "Wow, her forehead is huge"..or anything akin to that!!! I'm sure nobody else thinks that, either! I know we all have one (or more, hehe) features we don't like (ok, ok, except for maybe Helena Christensen..my fave model..even though she's "old school")..but YOU, my dear, have an absolutely perfect nose, dainty lips, very nice skin, pretty, pretty eyes, and a nicely shaped face. There's no "forehead" prob...only a percieved prob. (by you..'cause I can tell you your the only one whom thinks that way!). Sure, there are critical assholes out there that'll pick even the prettiest person apart..they are NOT the ones you need to be listening to. Did you know even Norma Jean Baker (Marilyn Monroe) thought she was disgusting??? And people in the "biz" told her as much. Can you believe that?? One of the most gorgeous, iconic women in the world, and people told her she'd never make it..that her nose was "too big", that her mole was ugly, and would hold her back (these days, people want moles so bad they're actually drawing them on!!!!). There were lots of little things these so-called "professional" people told her when she was younger...People that were supposed to be "great" judges of beauty.

I'm telling you all this so you can see that a woman whom was gorgeous beyond belief even had her percieved imperfections, and people telling her she was all wrong looking. Like I already said, there's going to be people that'll knock you down (and, take a look at those people..they're usually not very pretty themselves

)...That's what jealous people like to do. Don't do this to yourself!!! You certainly don't need painful, expensive surgery to make you look good...YOU ALREADY ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!

That said, I do have to say that everybody DOES have a certain hairstyle that just looks better on them...compliments them. I think something nice and soft (already stated by someone else) would look good on you. You've got nice, feminine features..something to go along w/ that would be nice.

I also think maybe you should try red. Yes, red. I always wanted to go red, and SO MANY people told me "No, red wouldn't be your color..It would look bad on you". Well, last year I finally decided to stop listening to other people, and made a decision I knew was the right one for me..I went red. Well, let me tell you, I've never gotten so many compliments! All those people that told me red wasn't a good color for me..they all had to eat their words! Everyone says "That is YOUR color!! Or, "Wow, that looks so good w/ your skin tone". The one I get the *most* of is: "Is that your real color (people think it is)..you've got the prettiest hair!"

You've got juuuuust about the same coloring as me, and I think you'd look POSITIVELY GREAT IN RED. If you're not sure about it, but think you may want to try it, go to a colorist that uses "Goldwell" coloring dyes. Goldwell makes a product called "Colorhance"..(or something like that, ha ha)...It's a semi-perm. that washes out in a 60 shampoos, and it makes your hair positively glossy, and gorgeous!! (When mine washed out, I didn't even like the look of my own hair anymore; it looked so dull compared to when the product was still it in...so I went permanetly red). My color is a rich, aburn-y brown-red. Don't go shockingly red. People think this is my natural color!!! IMO, that particular color blond you're looking at is too harsh for you..(Don't get me wrong..blond is pretty, but I don't think it'd be "your" best color)..
Anyway, I'll stop now..this is getting waaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy too long!!!!

You're BEAUTIFUL..don't let anyone (especially yourself) tell you otherwise!!!!!:loveya:

I would NOT recommend doing any of those looks by yourself at home. Your hair is dark right now so you will have to lift a lot of colour by using bleach, and if you don't get all the timing right, you can seriously damage your hair and it can cause irreperable breakage. Go to a salon, don't ruin your hair.

Well said, MissChievous. Lightening dark hair is the most difficult thing to do and is very damaging. This is even harder becuase now becuase you are going from dark brown to platinum blonde. This will be long proccess to strip the brown out.

Now that was said I would go with the first picture. I would brighten the blond a bit and go with a more red aurburn lowlights than the onee in the picture (they look a bit orange in the pic).

That hair coloring is very similar to this one (pic is quite large): http://img355.imageshack.us/img355/8...726232l9eb.jpg

I think the first picture will suite your coloring more. Just platinum blonde will somewhat wash you out. By adding the aurburn lowlights it will add some warmth to your coloring and add dimension to your hair by making the hair seem more voluminous.

i like the top left...and personally, i think the top right would be way too overwhelming, it's not really flattering w/ the short bangs, the longer front pieces, AND the back all cute and flippy.
i do like the bottom left but i think the top looks more healthy and the color weaving through is more edgy...the black on the bottom thing is kinda played out...but do whatever
