I was thinking about possibly lightening or darkening my hair.
should I go lighter or darker? or possibly some reddish tones?
I've never dyed my hair so I'm quite nervous. here is my natural color
I am on the right
Nat, your natural hair is sooo so beautiful! But I could really see you being absolutely stunning in the red color! Most of the people here say you should go with lighter, but tbh.. I don't think it would look even a bit as good as you would in red! :D
My suggestion is to just hold off, you are gorgeous the way you are and if you are unsure you should just focus on something else until you really decide what you want to do! Maybe just get a good trim and then color the next go around

I think you would look good with either lighter or darker but I wouldn't do any reds.

I could see lighter, but not too light. I personally think a really dark brown would be beautiful.

Start with a few low lights that's not too much of a commitment. Reddish tones
