    Could I Go Lighter?
    So, I've always had dark hair and although I think I suit it, I'm getting a bit bored.
    Just wondering if anyone thought I could go lighter - I'm not talking about whacking a tub of bleach on y head and being done with it, but either lighter browns/darker blonde/highlights etc.

    Any thoughts?

    Note: I'm also don't have black hair like in the picture, it's a darker brown colour!

    Thanks <3

    See I'm a fan of pale skin so I think dark colours look good on you, however if you want to go lighter I think you would still look pretty but I wouldn't go too light. But that's just me. And I'm a bloke, so who knows.

    You could probably go to a mid brown, you definately suit being darker. I'd say your best colour would be a 4.0 which is medium brown (Catherine Zeta Jones colour).

    You could remove the black and then get a salon to put some lightener foils all through your hair. If the hair was then coloured with a 5.0 Light Brown it would go a very soft multi-tonal medium brown.

    Omg I went platinum blonde from brown, and it's the worst thing I ever did! My hair is really long and healthy but now it's fried
    stay brown!

    Its never wise (nor often possible) to go from dark to platinum blonde, the hair suffers so much that you just get yellow coming through! I always advice to go lighter slowly.
