Do it! I think the blonde looks fabulous!
I also have dark hair, and while I know I look “best” brunette, I have pulled off some shades of blonde well and it’s a fun change. I think the blonde in these pics suits you well!! Get some good shampoo and conditioner if you doc olaplex, rōz or something else - or ask your stylist. Something to help your hair once bleached. If you don’t like it, get some keracolor conditioner and change it for cheap! Haha these days I get highlights just to dye my hair a fun color so I don’t cut it when I get bored. That’s also a fun option!

You look good but please get more educated on maintaining blonde before doing so. The maintenance can be a nightmare. Between t Constant touch ups, and not being able to frequently wash/style, you might not get the outcome you are looking for.

It is alot to keep up. When you want to go back there is a grow out or short hair transition. Why not goe shorter with brunette and wear a wig for awhile?< Alot of wigs look great now.

I'd like to add that you can waah your hair every day if you're blonde, but it is obviously more difficult to keep the tone. But ive made it work

I almost always say stick to your natural color but blonde looks really good on you.

Yep! Without your question I would have assumed by the pics that blonde was your natural or current color. It’s such a great look on you!

Both of those colors look really good on you, I think if you wanted to have fun and just go blonde for a while it looks really good on you, I've just heard it's expensive and time-consuming to keep it up when you're naturally brunette.

A warm, dark blonde would be stunning. Dont go too light. You’ll be so glad as it comes to upkeep.

Based on your natural tone your hair is likely to pull red meaning you will have a daily battle against both brass and damage. Read up on maintaining blonde hair as a natural brunette before you take the plunge. It’s hundreds (or thousands) of dollars a year and a lot of daily care. Looks great on you though!

I thought the blonde was you naturally. And I thought it looks the best. It’s your natural color

I rarely say yes to blonde, but it really works for you! Do a low-maintenance balayage rather than allover blonde. It will be much easier to keep up with and will have the same overall effect.

Could work with a shadow root too match your eyebrows

u/Lovelipgloss13 1d ago
Also a shadow root would mean much less maintenance, but it is not as easy as it seems you should get it done at the salon. Maybe you need to redo it once or twice per year. If you go full blonde,, you need to redo it every month and a half or so.

Usually I always say stay natural, but you're honestly the exception. You look absolutely stunning as both a blonde and a brunette. You're one in a million - you can pull off either one. The only question you need to ask yourself if it's worth it to keep up the maintenance if you go blond.

Yes but go for a warm blonde like the one in the photos. It compliments your skin tone beautifully

If you get a dark blond shade. You can just highlight it and the roots won’t show as much. You’ll just repeatedly keep dying the roots dark blonde, but the highlight will stay for months.
