I am going darker tomorrow. Please post pics...UPDATE!

I am done with highlighting my hair. I have dark brown hair naturally and have been highlighting my hair for awhile now. I'm ready for a new color...something darker, but not as dark as my natural color (which is almost black).

Can you all please post pics to give me some ideas??

TIA!

Update: I got my hair darkened. They used a demi color since I am pregnant, and he also used a glaze, so now my hair looks MUCH healthier. I have to say that I LOVE it. I was so ready for a change. DH loves it too which NEVER happens. I am trying to get him to take pics of me so I can share the results with you ladies! I am very happy with the results! I think I was just so sick of highlighting my hair for so long...I love this color so much that I kind of wish I had it for my wedding...oh well...

I never knew this either, you can after your first trimester.

What about the Audrina color? There is a photo on celeb gossip.

I just got mine highlighted a bit lighter, but she told me if I got tired and want to cover them, do a demi permanent. I kinda wish I'd NEVER even started highlighting!

I like it, but it may be a little too dark...I am pretty light right now, so the very dark scares me a bit...

Here are some. It's hard to find, because a lot brunettes have lowlights to some extent. Anne Hathaway has a nice rich brown

Definitely a possibility, but I lack her tan. I am still going to bring a pic to my stylist though. Thanks.

Re: I am going darker tomorrow. Please post pics...

are you sure you want to make a major change now?
When I was about 4 months pg I felt like I needed something new so I went to my colorist and told him I no longer wanted my highlights- I am naturally dark brown and have been high lighting my hair enough to be considered blonde-for years. Im telling you-i went to a solid medium brown and I was so depressed!

On top of the weight I started gaining &feeling gross then I had an episode where my skin started breaking out-then with my blah-brown hair-i had issues! I felt so ugly & then hated being pg! I dont say this to scare you, but maybe you can put some low lites in & wait till after you give birth to make any big changes!

I totally know what you are saying. I do have some lowlights already. I don't know...I really do feel like I'm ready for a change, but maybe I will tell my stylist that I really want to do it gradually. I already feel ugly being pregnant, so hopefully it can't get worse Chat Icon

i agree that when i got lowlights i also felt frumpy. HOWEVER a total 180 change is a whole different story. a totally new hair color will definietly make you feel different and probably for the positive.
id definitely consider it

if you want, hairstyler.com you can upload ypur picturre and match your face to different haircolrs. if you hate it, then dont do it but igf you like the dark hair, its definitely worth a shot and you can always get semi permanent so it washes out gradually then go back to hilighting it again

I hear ya. I get highlights what seems like once a year, keep them for a few months, then get sick of them and go back to my "natural" shade of dark brown. I always feel so pale at first, but I just wear a little more bronzer and eventually I get used to it.
Good luck!

Or maybe Denise Richards new color....

Re: I am going darker tomorrow. Please post pics...

I went from blonde high lights back to my natural dark brown- and while the first day was shocking

I am so happy I did it- my hair is espreso color

it will lighten after they first dye it- they need to dye it alittle darker then you want to cover the old high lights- which doesn't help with the shock the first day

I recently did the same since the smell of the bleach while PG made me want to hurl, so I went to an espresso/chocolate borwn. I am using the John Freida color wash once a week & it helps keep the highlighted hair covered. You can use it right in the shower.

Ditto! I just had my highlights done to match more closely to my natural color so I can go longer without seeing roots
