I HATE MY HAIR. I absolutely despise it. It’s a very dark brown. What the **** am I supposed to do with it?! I can’t dye it anything because it’s so ****ing dark. And going to a salon will cost a shitload and probably take hours. I’m convinced it’s the wrong color for me anyway, even if it’s natural, because I’m fair and I have amber eyes. Why me??? *******it.

Some highlights maybe? Yes you’d have to go to a salon but highlights don’t need to be maintained as much as full head coloring.

I bet many people want your hair color. We always want something we don’t have

Hair color is a mystery to me. My whole family are brunettes. Dark brown. Nearly black. Guess what color I’ve got? Blonde. It’s darkish blonde now like dishwasher blonde but used to be light blonde. I have black facial and body hair and olive skin. Like the rest of us. I don’t mind being blonde, I think I even like it but it’s just weird. I am not supposed to be blonde. Why?

But guess what, everyone in my family goes grey early. My brother is all salt and pepper. I don’t have a single grey hair. None. And I am 58. I am telling you. Hair is a strange thing.

I loooove amber eyes.

A balayage from a hair salon might be nice. They pretty much just swirl the ends with a caramel color, so you dont have to worry about roots growing in.

Thanks guys I appreciate the kind words and suggestions. I would love to be blonde, honestly. However, I don’t come from a family of blondes, my parents and sis are also brunettes with brown eyes. I just feel so revolting with hair this dark.

I had dark brown hair. I decided back in 2015 to dye my hair along with cutting it to a Mohawk. I hated my dark hair it was essentially the bane of my existence, as it could never grow out long, no matter what I tried. It turned out bright orange. It was Got2be hair dye I think it came with a lightning agent you could apply first if you had dark hair or if you had light hair you could just apply the dye itself. This was many years ago though. It went from dark dark brown to the same color of a orange Bic lighter.

I like the suggestion of some sort of highlights or balayage to brighten up your hair without having to take the steps to go blond. Bleaching out the hair, as you need to do to dye dark hair blond, can be really damaging and there's a lot of upkeep because the roots keep growing out. It gets expensive if you go to a salon.


My dad's side comes from Central Europe and blond hair isn't uncommon on that side of the family, although some, like my brother, have their hair get darker with age. I'm still pretty blond and I think it suits my features. My sister, on the other hand, always says she would hate to be blond. She has medium brown hair and takes more after my mother's side.

I think you can pretty much do anything with your hair colour, although it’s true with dark hair you have to be careful as it can go brassy if you don’t know what you’re doing.

Having said that I’m dark and use a mid brown box dye, it blends in my greys, actually a lot of people think I’ve had it highlighted. If I didn’t have greys to blend I mightn’t bother though!

I didn’t like my colour much when I was younger either but I look back at the photos differently now, I do think dark hair can be very attractive.
