Should I dye my hair black?

I'm really tempted to dye my hair black but I'm not sure if I'd suit it or whether I'm better staying the colour I am just now. Im naturally pale so I don't know if it would look like I was trying to be 'gothy'. I've attached a photo to show what it's like now.

I think your hair is a lovely colour as it is, and black may be a bit too dark. Maybe a medium-dark brown would suit you better? :smile:

YESS! go for it! .... you have really big eyes like me and I think black would look really nice! I naturally have really light brown hair but always dye it black, im definitely not a goth, nor aiming for that look! (pale as well) and it works for me :smile: take a risk you may love it!

(but that would look gothy wouldn't it? :tongue:)

I really like your current haircolour and think you look nice as you are but I reckon you could pull black off. If I was you I would leave it as it is but if you desparately want a change then die it black..maybe even a reddy sort of colour might suit you

Hahaha I like the fact you made a mockup version :lol: I'm thinking I'll probably keep it as it is just now, if I was going to dye it black I'd probably grow it out as well and get a full fringe cut in. Oh it is actually red, you can't see it very clearly in the picture but you can in others like this (ignore the stupid face I'm pulling haha)

Thanks :smile: I am quite happy with how it is now, I think I'll keep it the colour it is for now, though I've not had it brown for a while so I'll keep that in mind :smile:

Try this to see what you'd look like, I did it with blonde hair, but never dyed it. I have naturally mouse-brown hair but I always go back to black and I'm very pale, never make it look gothic though.
