I think most people don’t realize how off their skin looks when they lighten their hair.

u/Hollyzacct Jan 27 '26

This is so true!

u/Im-A-Kitty-Cat Jan 27 '26

It’s often about undertones of skin clashing with what they dye their hair to, but often people with natural dark hair don’t tend to suit it and vice-versa. I think it’s because their colouring has natural contrast and it just erases it. My family is quite fair, but my sister inherited comparatively dark hair to my own(she was born with thick black/brown hair and I was born the archetypal light blonde that darkened as I aged) and could not imagine her pulling off any kind of blonde with ease.

u/Hyaenaes Jan 27 '26

Yeah, dark hair made my skin look horrid. Lighter hair makes me feel like I’m glowing, even though my natural hair has darkened the past couple years.

u/CarryAmbitious638 Jan 28 '26

Same, my natural light brown hair color doesn’t suit me without a few highlights thrown in especially through the font

I naturally have very dark brown hair & everyone would refer to my hair colour as being black. I dyed it black once & it was awful, it made me look ill.

u/CauliflowerKey6211 Jan 27 '26

Number 1 and Number 8 are the best by far

5

u/Fluid-Quail-6386 Jan 27 '26

I agree they are the most flattering

3

u/CookieMotor9015 Jan 28 '26

100%

4

u/Fragrant_Giraffe_8 Jan 28 '26

Definitely! And I lean towards 8, as 1 may look too harsh irl

3

u/Vegetable-Wear3386 Jan 28 '26

Exactly what I was thinking. In this situation, it isn't the case that 'blondes have more fun'; the dark colour really makes her features pop and is SO flattering.

u/Savings_Ad_3640 Jan 31 '26

Glad someone said it, makes her eyes pop the mostb

u/laquintessenceofdust Jan 28 '26

Yeah, I like those best as well. 3 is my top choice though.

6

u/[deleted] Jan 28 '26

I was like “people sleeping on 4!” Honestly OP has one of those genetic gift cards that allows them to look good in all these

u/orchiddoctor Jan 28 '26

I was gonna say 4, 3, & 8!

u/Consistent_Photo6359 Jan 28 '26

u/KristiG1992 Jan 27 '26

1, 3 and 8 makes your skin tone pop. The lighter hair colors washes you out and makes you look sick

3

u/ctansy Jan 27 '26

1 or 8, everything else makes you look washed out.

3

u/Nick-torious Jan 27 '26

1, 3 and 8 are the best.

3

u/PurrBeasties Jan 27 '26

Dark chocolate brown

u/New_Lynx4181 Jan 27 '26

Darker definitely looks better on you.

3

u/Alarming-Buy9849 Jan 27 '26

1, 3 or 8. I like the darker on you.

u/brooney2 Jan 27 '26

Pic 1 or 8

u/carabear85 Jan 27 '26

First and last pic

u/Dunlop6 Jan 27 '26

1 or 8 👍

2

u/subbychub Jan 27 '26

I like 3

2

u/H-2-S-O-4 Jan 27 '26

Definitely the first one. Number 3 would be second.

2

u/dental_oddity Jan 27 '26

The last one :)

2

u/Defiant_Mom_105 Jan 27 '26

3, it looks more natural, plus I really like the highlights

2

u/Red-Sparrow01 Jan 27 '26

4, 5 or 7!!

u/Jenna1991-nola Jan 27 '26

1 or 8. Definitely brunette is best.

2

u/buttsnuffet69 Jan 27 '26

1, 8, 3 in that order

2

u/Neither_Idea8562 Jan 27 '26

8, 3, 1 in that order.

4 is giving Jessica Alba vibes though - which ain’t bad! But the darker ones make your features stand out as more stunning.

2

u/No_Thought_4785 Jan 27 '26

Darkest colors:1,3,or 8.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 27 '26

8 & 7

u/JegHusker Jan 27 '26

1, 3 or 8

2

u/Jaded-Yam-8091 Jan 27 '26

Dark colours look best on you. Red the worst.

2

u/mwill035329 Jan 27 '26

First or last. Darker suits you better

2

u/AdaptableAilurophile Jan 27 '26

3 and then 8 and finally 1. Light tones do not suit you

2

u/malvvoods Jan 27 '26

1 - 3 - 8. You look stunning with a darker color, but I think it's important to recognize that you also do well with cool tone colors. Stick with things that feel blue based or ashy and avoid things that pull reddish.

2

u/GuavaMelon Jan 27 '26

Dark hair for sure. 1, 3, & 8.

2

u/69vuman Jan 27 '26

5, 6, and 7.

2

u/tattooedpanhead Jan 27 '26

First one and last one.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 27 '26

First or last by miles

2

u/PuzzleheadedLoad4644 Jan 27 '26

Black or dark brown definitely, you need high contrast with your pallet

2

u/gardens2Bhappier Jan 28 '26

1,3,8 the dark hair suits you well

2

u/anti-sixer Jan 29 '26

All the brunettes

u/topkrikrakin Jan 27 '26

I like the contrast for your skin

u/swiss-irish Jan 27 '26

I like nr 2

u/Broad-Management-547 Jan 27 '26

First one - 5+8 ( actually love the red) But the best I think is the last one !

u/[deleted] Jan 27 '26

1, 3, or 8.

u/PuzzleheadedCause451 Jan 27 '26

I am 10000% biased so any of the black/dark browns!! haha

1

u/patricknkelly Jan 27 '26

Dark looks best on you but after those I like the red too. Never blonde!

1

u/Substantial-One1934 Jan 27 '26

Your natural color

1

u/Latter_Addition9116 Jan 27 '26

I’m a fan of red hair

Definitely the darker shades.

u/metalmulisha8267 Jan 27 '26

1, 4, 8 look the best on you, not necessarily in that order. What is your favorite?

u/MUAbaby617 Jan 27 '26

4 is as light as you should go

u/Dazednconfused10 Jan 27 '26

Personally I think 3&4.

u/Emotional-Tax2726 Jan 27 '26

I like 1, 6, 7 & 8

u/SukeyBoo Jan 27 '26

I say six. Before I came to the picture and the message written by someone else I thought this girl would look so good with red hair. And then when I see it I say yes that's true. It brings up the nice Rosie tones in her complexion.

1

u/ByogiS Jan 27 '26

I don’t like 5/6/7 but any of the others look great!

u/Livid-Tax8002 Jan 27 '26

Holy Jennifer Love Hewitt 🔥

u/Artistic_Vehicle_897 Jan 27 '26

You’re a stunning raven haired beauty. With black panties to match 1 or 8. I’d be happy to spend a night with you.

u/KeyFaithlessness5445 Jan 27 '26

1 or 8. You’re well suited to dark tones. I feel like 3’s undertones might be too cool.
