I can wear a range of colors too, as long as I stay warm and not too light.

Echoing merwoman and Angie! Your natural hair looks like mine used to be! My hair stylist doesn't wear her reading glasses when she colours my hair. I wish she would as she misses some spots. I may be asking you where you go to have yours done! Baby cheeks, sooo cute! My baby is now 8 years old. <sigh> Helena on "My hair - dark, light, in between!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-hair---dark-light-in-between#post-2342498 Wed, 25 Oct 2023 18:20:15 +0000 Helena 2342498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Rachy, it's your signature ... but change is always good! What's your natural colour - dark brown? rachylou on "My hair - dark, light, in between!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-hair---dark-light-in-between#post-2342491 Wed, 25 Oct 2023 17:45:13 +0000 rachylou 2342491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Gorgeous! I’m debating whether or not to continue dyeing my hair appalling colours. I feel a little bored with it now… Helena on "My hair - dark, light, in between!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-hair---dark-light-in-between#post-2342488 Wed, 25 Oct 2023 17:37:30 +0000 Helena 2342488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Zaeobi, yes - although they are more noticeable in that photo due to my hair being curled ... not nearly as noticeable in my everyday blowdry style.

I really like all the colors on you. The current color is gorgeous, my favorite here. You always look so polished!

Your natural hair colour is/ was lovely, but I especially like the depth & range of #4 on you - are those money piece bangs (face-framing highlights that are slightly lighter around the fringe than the rest of your hair)?

My hair seems darker than it used to be, but the grey/silver streaks that have cropped up seem to help give it some highlights now. kkards on "My hair - dark, light, in between!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-hair---dark-light-in-between#post-2342458 Wed, 25 Oct 2023 10:36:30 +0000 kkards 2342458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It all works!  It really does help to have a hairdresser you trust  Firecracker (Sharan) on "My hair - dark, light, in between!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-hair---dark-light-in-between#post-2342449 Wed, 25 Oct 2023 01:30:07 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2342449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I agree with the others, your hair looks gorgeous in every stage. I swear that first photo looks like my hair color when I was in my 20s and 30s! Mine was always a bit wavy, though.

Your current color is excellent. I know what you mean about hair color fading: my natural color used to be a warm brown with a touch of auburn to it. Now it's a combination of gray/silver and dark, cool brown. What I miss most is the warm reddish hue. Agreed that babies are so mean! My babies are now 25 and 22 and they are especially cranky :).  Helena on "My hair - dark, light, in between!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-hair---dark-light-in-between#post-2342428 Tue, 24 Oct 2023 17:34:10 +0000 Helena 2342428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you all! Pirouette thank you so much, I really miss my natural hair colour, I have to admit, of all the superficial changes brought on by age, that's the one that really bothers me ... there's just no way to get it right with dye though and I suppose one's colouring fades overall with age, so probably even if I could get it, it wouldn't be as flattering as it was when I was in my 30s. I know it doesn't really matter, but it is kinda sad in a way ... an old self never to be again! pirouette on "My hair - dark, light, in between!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-hair---dark-light-in-between#post-2342427 Tue, 24 Oct 2023 17:10:27 +0000 pirouette 2342427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Helena all the photos are lovely but your first photo is amazing not just the gorgeous baby but the shine on your natural hair is incredible.

I do enjoy seeing other women's hair color journeys, and your current look is lovely. Here's a pic of me 32 years ago with so MUCH hair, and some baby cheeks (hee hee) of my own. merwoman on "My hair - dark, light, in between!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-hair---dark-light-in-between#post-2342411 Tue, 24 Oct 2023 14:45:31 +0000 merwoman 2342411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Your hair looks gorgeous in every iteration. Love the current colour, your stylist is doing a skilful job in making it look so natural. Helena on "My hair - dark, light, in between!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-hair---dark-light-in-between#post-2342407 Tue, 24 Oct 2023 14:17:04 +0000 Helena 2342407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Angie's hair post today got me poking around at old photos ... sadly I don't have any of my more experimental reds, although I never went too crazy with that anyway - and never permanent (in my early 20s, when temporary box dye did the job and met my budget constraints). But essentially, I've always been a dark brunette, with a reddish cast in the sun. 1. My natural colour, because I didn't dye at all during pregnancy and nursing (not sure if that's even a concern; just mentioning because that's how I know for sure this photo is completely natural) - aside - look at my sweet baby's cheeks. He is now 6'1 and applying for uni *sobs into teacup* 2. The lightest I ever did. This was fun! I would do it again, but I didn't love the effect of the bleach on my hair texture. 3. Now - as dark as it appears now and 4. as light as it appears now and 5. fresh from the salon. A good bit lighter than my natural colour, but still with some depth so it *feels* more like me. I trust my stylist, so I told her just to keep touching the roots up with the deep colour until it starts to look too harsh, then do the lift again ... I think I've got another roots and then a lift in the new year sometime.  Have you revisited any old colours this morning?!?
