Are you happy with your natural hair color?

Or do you change it to be the color you want?

What color do you wish you were born with?

What do you think you look best with?

I've been every color, except for black.
I'm a natural strawberry blonde.
I think I look better with darker colored hair...and I look TERRIBLE as a blonde - it totally washes me out.

Re: Are you happy with your natural hair color?

I have been every color (including black) as well.. naturally dark blonde/light brownish

I was raven haired for years but the upkeep was a b!tch..

I go from honey/caramel mixed highlights to just a light honey colored and now I'm blonde (honey colored) and I like it.. I have the natural ombre thing going on so I'm enjoying growing it out and it's the healthiest it's been in a long time because of it..

Re: Are you happy with your natural hair color?

naturally dark brown. If i dye it i go red, and its almost black with red tints... i love it when its that color. When i was younger i tried blonde but it never works. It just turns it light brown and i look better with dark hair.

Re: Are you happy with your natural hair color?

Ugh, I hate my natural hair color. It's an ugly, dull, mousy brown. I dye my hair red, which I think suits me, but I don't think it's possible to have been born with hair the color I dye it. It's not exactly natural. Chat Icon But it sure is pretty! Chat Icon

ETA: But I have also been every hair color under the sun. From brown to blonde to black to ORANGE. Chat Icon But that was a mistake.

Re: Are you happy with your natural hair color?

I've been highlighting for so long that if I do try to go back to my natural darkish brown I hate it. It looks too dark , too severe and makes me look very pale.

I am so tired of the highlights and the roots and the upkeep and teh crazy expense but my natural color does not do it for me.

I like a dark blonde- honeyish color-wish I was born with that color

Re: Are you happy with your natural hair color?

My natural color is a dark blond with a bit of red in there.

I'm happy with it. Sometimes.

I dyed it a more deep strawberry blond last night, but prior to that it had been months since I dyed it.

It's been almost every color of the rainbow...purple, pink, bleached, blue, red...

I think I look best with a fiery red.

Which I might do in a few weeks if I tire of my current color. Like...Tori Amos red.

Oh, your last question...I'm happy with my natural color in that it doesn't take much to dye it darker or lighten it!

Re: Are you happy with your natural hair color?

I like my natural hair color. It's a medium brown with a lot of red & blond highlights, especially in sunlight. I never color it. I can't imagine myself with a different color.

Re: Are you happy with your natural hair color?

I've actually never colored my hair. I got red highlights once back in college and that was it. I tend to get red highlights in the summer, so I thought it'd be cool to have them in the winter too lol. But I never did it again after that. I have dark dark dark brown hair, as dark brown as possible without it being black. Tons of people think I dye it because it's so dark, but nope, it's all natural Chat Icon

I love my hair color. Medium brown with lots of natural highlights. Now, though, I am getting a few grays Chat Icon I dread coloring my hair as I like my natural hair color so much.

Re: Are you happy with your natural hair color?

I have never dyed my hair. It is a dark brown like Katie Holmes. I think it looks good with my pale skin. I would looked washed out as a blond.

Re: Are you happy with your natural hair color?

My hair is naturally jet black and I love the color . It's also healthy and shiny without much effort. I have olive complexion so I think my natural hair is the best color for me, but I do sometimes wish I could be brave enough to try a different color , I decided few times but chickened out last minute , maybe I'll try highlights at some point, the only thing is that I just can't imagine keeping it up so I'm waiting till I start going gray (I have found 2 gray hairs this past year and I just pull them out Chat Icon )
I'm very low maintenance when it comes to my hair so I don't even know how I'll deal with it when I'm old and gray Chat Icon Chat Icon

Re: Are you happy with your natural hair color?

Yes.

1/ It's cheap to maintain
2/ I don't need to dye it yet because of grey roots

Re: Are you happy with your natural hair color?

I dont really know what to call my color but for a while I wished I could have the color I had when I was a kid- bleach blonde. That was awesome. So in college, I tried to dye it (in the salon). Well, I cried IN the salon chair. My hair was never the same again (it still is super dry, 12 years later). After that, I dyed it a few times from a box, just to tone down the bleachiness and I vowed never to do it again unless I have to cover greys.

I have never dyed my hair and won't until I have to!
I love my hair color...it's probably as dark brown as you can get before actually being considered black.

Re: Are you happy with your natural hair color?

I have been highlighting since college (so call it 15yrs). I've been trying to go darker since DS was born and had some success but my colorist single processed me to match my roots and I looked ridiculous. It did not look "natural" on me at all and didnt go with my skin tone. I'm light brown now and its much better,

Re: Are you happy with your natural hair color?

I love my hair color and don't color it bc I love it. I have darkest brown, looks black silky hair. I tried highlights as a teen and they all looked bad. I have some stray grays and m dreading when I have to dye to cover gray bc my color is impossible to match black will wash me out and I don't think I would look as good with any other color. Boo for gray hair lol

Re: Are you happy with your natural hair color?

I liked my natural color much more when I lived in Florida, I never needed highlights. I have dirty blonde hair but living there I always had gorgeous sun-kissed natural highlights.

Re: Are you happy with your natural hair color?

My natural color is a deep rich chocolate. I don't dye or highlight my hair at all. I love it and get compliments on it a lot. It has lots of body and shine and I usually just use a diffuser to style it. It's the one thing I truly like about myself...Chat Icon

Once in a blue moon (like every year or two...lol) I will do a color glaze in a deep black or an eggplant shade. It lasts 6 weeks or so.

Re: Are you happy with your natural hair color?

I like my color. It's medium brown with natural highlights. If I ever dyed it, I would choose to go darker rather than lighter, but I just really don't want to be bothered. I figure there will be plenty of time to dye it once I go gray.

Re: Are you happy with your natural hair color?

I was born a white blonde, hair got darker by the time I was 10.

Did the highlighting thing bout 20 years ago, ok but huge maintenance since my roots were dark.

10 years ago I gave in to my gray and started doing a single process permanent medium brown to match my natural color. It pulls a little red, which I do like.
I'm 40% gray now, and I might go lighter once the gray takes over more and the roots become more pronounced.

Ditto. I look too "BLAH" with my natural color. I hate the expensive of highlighting but don't think I will ever stop.
