Very dramatic! Love it! I bet you will need drama in your clothes, although it seems like you dress that way instinctively anyway.

I know what you mean, this time of year I get so bored with my clothes, I almost wish they would all go away and I could start new.

Seriously beautiful!!

Wow- that's a dramatic change! Looking forward to seeing what new style combos emerge!

Wow, it is a dramatic change! It does bring out your eyes really nicely. I always had a little shock after having my hair done when the color would be a couple of shades darker than I expected, but yes, it always settles down after a few washes. It will be interesting to see how this affects your color palette!

I love how your eyes pop with this darker colour - gorgeous! Agree with Janet ... brunette dye looks even better after a couple of washes. So I bet you will like it more and more as it settles.

Totally with you on the restlessness - this time of year is ... soooo .... booooooorrrrring. It's almost like sensory deprivation - the gray, the quiet, the lack of smells and textures outside. I went to a couple of malls this weekend just to see colour!

Well thank you all again ! I’m having fun with makeup again , which always makes me happy :). Haven’t had a chance to wear any “regular “ clothes yet but look forward to seeing what works .

Lynn - this is a level 6 warm brown . It’s so dark on me because of how bleached my hair was . On a swatch it’s a basic brown with slightly auburn undertones .

The root powder was just from Shoppers Drug Mart in with the regular hair stuff . I cannot believe how great it works !

What a wonderful change! It's a big one but you look so good with it! Your features look more defined somehow, and of course agreeing with everyone else how much your eyes come forward. Glad you're having fun with makeup, too.

Gorgeous, Lisa! I love how the colour and cut bring out your eyes. Purple would be pretty.

Really nice I like the drama of it all !

Nice change, very flattering on you. And it does look like your inspiration photo, my hairdresser never manages to achieve that.

It looks really dramatic and bold, in the best way! It totally suits you. I can see how your make-up could go a little bolder now, too. It will be fun to play around with your closet to see what looks especially fresh now with your new 'do!
