So about a year and a half ago, I decided to dye my hair to a lighter caramel color. but, being my lazy self, I never got it recolored or had touchups done, so I’m currently sporting a soft ombre that naturally happened when my hair grew out.
Sorry for the crappy selfie quality!
I’m ready for a change now, and need advice on what color to go with!
I was thinking that a rich brown with red highlights or lowlights might be a fun change. But, I’m completely open to suggestions! I wish I had more white-girl features so I could pull of blonde, but my half asian side begs to differ.
Anyways, these are some pictures I scooped off the web that are in the direction I’m thinking! I’m also considering getting a haircut, but I’m trying to grow my hair out and hate that hairdressers usually chop off way more than I like.
The last one is my current favorite :)!
I’d appreciate your thoughts!
I like your ombre look that you have going on but I understand the need to change things up a bit. I think Eva’s look would be very classy but I also love Kate’s color. I think it depends on if you want to go darker or not. My vote would be for the last one too!
Ahh I’m so torn! Thanks for the advice 😀
I actually think you could pull off a little blond! But I love love LOVE red, so I always suggest people get a lil red 😉
I’d love to try a dirty blonde, but my family tells me I can’t pull it off hahah!
I LOVE LOVE LOVEEEEEE the last one! I also like the darker colors… but that’s just my opinion
I’m obsessed with her color!! Ahh why is this such a hard decision to make haha!
I like the Eva cut and color! It would complement your features really well!
You think :)? I love how rich the color is!
Blonde totally, hahaha. Nah, I am not a fan of blonde Asians, it just looks wrong somehow… my boyfriend (half Filipino) had a blonde period when he was 14, I still think the pictures are quite funny 😉 . I would go for Kate’s color, I think it is beautiful and fresh and I do also like her haircut, though I get that you want to keep your long hair.
Hahah that is too funny! I think that color is my favorite too
I love all three of the looks, but I definitely think you should keep your long locks! As someone who would die for long hair, but can only grow it a little past my shoulders, I envy you!! I do like the Eva Longoria color best, but I bet you will look great with any of those styles!! I hope you have a good hair dresser, that is always so nerve-racking for me!
What a bummer! My cousin has hair that doesn’t really grow past a certain length either. I’m stuck between the two! I agree. My life is basically in their hands hahahah! 😉
I’m with Jessie…add some red
Always a good idea for fall!
I love a little red- so fun!
Actually, I like the middle picture! I think the color AND cut would look really good on you!
Really? I think that some red is always a good idea! Especially for fall 😀
LOVE Kate’s hair, both in terms of cut and colour. I’d definitely stick to a darker color, and maybe add some caramel and auburn highlights? Ombré is super trendy right now, so you could always just intensify the one you’ve got going on a little more.
I love her cut too! I don’t think I could pull off the short hair as well though ;). That’s true! I have loved my ombre
I love the last one too or even the one right above it!
So torn haha!
Ooh I love the Eva color! I think slightly darker would look really good with your skin tone, especially with fall coming up!
Thanks Kelly! That makes sense to go darker with the season 😀
Last one! It’s not my favorite but it would look the best on you 😀
Thanks Leigha 😀
I really like the 1st pic, but any would look great on you
And I feel your pain with hairdressers – one layered my hair on one side, and put 3 in the other side. I looked really weird and had puffy hair on one side and smooth on the other.
Ouch! That sounds pretty bad haha. I’m hoping that won’t happen to me come Friday! I love the first one as well
I like all of your choices, but I think I like the Eva Longoria colors a whole lot!!
She has the prettiest coloring!
I like the last one too, but the dark locks like Eva’s might be fun for fall/winter?
I agree! I tend to get whiter when the sun goes away, so the contrast might be nice
Hahaha love the photoshopped picture 😉 I like the last one, but the middle one is my favorite. I think the red in it would look awesome on you!
Blonde looks pretty good on me, right ;)? Thanks for your advice!
Ahahaha this is awesome! Don’t feel bad about not going blonde ever, it’s annoyingly pricey to upkeep so enjoy your Asian side! I am loving that first picture, I think dark dark hair is beautiful! I can’t wait to see what you do!!
Oh I bet, I’d need to get touchups ALL THE TIME! Thanks for the advice! I’m stuck right in the middle of the top and bottom one hahah!
I like the Eva hairstyle on you. I think your hair looks great now honestly! Haha I was actually going to suggest blonde. 😉
I’m late to the party, but I love the last one too
Love the second one!!! I had highlights for several years but when I moved to NYC and saw the pricetag on even partial highlights I sort of neglected my hair…Funny enough everyone commented on how great my ombre hair looked! I failed to mention the whole too cheap/lazy part 😉
It’s so expensive! Especially in NYC. The place I found has great yelp reviews and is reasonably priced. Hallelujah! Hahah we’re both sneaky with our hair then… whatever works, right ;)?
I’m loving your hair right now as well, but I’m also loving that first picture with the soft “red” ish highlights! Very pretty and classy looking!! I know how you feel though..sometimes a BIG change is exactly what you need! So maybe chopping it off and going totally different is what you should do
I’m so stuck between that one and the last one! It might be nice to go with a rich darker brown for the winter… decisions decisions haha!
I can picture you best with the Eva Longoria style. But no matter what it will look gorgeous darling!
Aww thank you Maria! I think that one has gotten the majority of the votes so far! Maybe I’ll try to get a darker color with some lighter highlights, like the last pic and combine the two
I think you would look incredibly sassy with the second picture
Can’t wait to see what you end up choosing!
Thanks Kailey :D!
The last one! Or the eva longoria picture.
But honestly you are so beautiful any of those would work!
Aww Julia, you’re so sweet! This honestly made my day 😀
I loooove the last pic!! So pretty – I would go with that one ;)!
I’m with ya, I like the last one the best too. Not as drastic a change as the others. Plus, you should always go with something lighter first. If you don’t like it, it’s a lot easier to go darker than the other way around. If you’re scared they’re going to chop it, ask for less off at first. If you still want it shorter, tell them at that point. Never say you want 3 inches off if you really want 3 off. Tell them 1 or 2, at most. Good luck! You’re going to look great no matter what!
