Hairstylists are always against a blonde going black is they are smart. The process of going back to blonde is horrible. Do a dark blonde or a light/medium brown and if you like that, and u really want the black, add some black lowlights/peek-a-boos but not all over unless you are going to commit for forever.
You shouldn't die your hair. It is perfect for your skin and features as is. Perhaps adding a little contrast, buttery highlights and honey lowlights would be fun. Your haircolor is exactly like my sister's. Channel Jennifer Aniston.

I've been wanting to dye my hair for a long time. I don't know if I want to make it lighter or black or even a reddish brown. Help!

My opinion is that black would make you look washed out.. A soft brown, maybe even an auburn would look really pretty(:

I think an auburn with lighter highlights would look stunning on you. You're lucky to have such a beautiful neutral skin tone. You can experiment!

I think you would look pretty with any color but I would try a darker color. It will bring out your eyes.

But if you do dye, lean golden, not red, auburn, ash, or muddy brown.

Oh, you could also pull off ombré.
