Having naturally mousy brown hair as I’ve mentioned before makes for lots of indecisiveness at the hair salon. Sometimes I want to go brunette, sometimes I want blonde hair. Sometimes I just want to amp up my natural color so it has a bit more life. That is just what I did at my last visit to the salon, which I documented here not too long ago. But as those who suffer from indecisiveness do, I changed my mind. Again. I’m headed to the salon this afternoon and I’m going blonde.
In the past, I used to always ask for a warm, honey blonde. But I’ve learned since then that going too warm can look brassy against my already warm skin. So this time, I’m doing it right. Cool blondes it is. For those of you who have no idea what I’m talking about, here’s the difference between warm and cool tones below.
Always ask your hairdresser which tones will work best with your skin. It makes a huge difference! After scouring Pinterest for some hair-spiration, here are some looks I rounded up to show my hair stylist later today. What do you think? Will I work as a blonde?

can you tell me , I currently have a lot of ash in my hair and i would be completely white in my bang area. I have been told on numerous occasions that i should go with more gold in my hair or beige. I look too washed out with the ash. The only problem is that gold usually my hair becomes brassy. what should i do?
thank you.

I agree that its best to ask your hair dresser or stylist which tones work best with your skin. This varies so much per person and if not done correctly, you could looked washed out or brassy. Thanks for sharing your information!
