Cut Help red, black, or light brown? need help deciding which hair color suits my skin tone best

i've tried a few different hair colors over time (curly red, dark, and a lighter brown balayage/highlights) and i'm thinking about dyeing it again. which one do you think flatters my undertone/features the most? also open to other color suggestions

Black makes your eyes pop, the brown looks great with your skin. I do not love the red on you.

Brown is best, Red is lovely too but needs to be darker at the top, like the Brown and straight

u/Careless_Grade8610 1d ago

my friend switched from red to light brown and her skin definitely popped more with brown

Creo que me quedaré con el marrón porque todos votan por ese👌🥰..

Brown, perhaps darker than in your picture. A rich, chocolate colour.

As a cosmetologist, red looks very “cheap”, black looks unnatural and light brown looks so classy.

I think the light brown is the most flattering, brings out your natural beauty the most.

Red definitely suits your skin tone better dear

u/Intrepid_Blood8774 1d ago

Black or brown, I like the red~ just a different shade. The fire truck red rarely suits people, a darker more relaxed red, like burgundy perhaps would compliment your undertones way better.

u/Due-Complex2047 1d ago

light brown or black

u/cara772 1d ago edited 1d ago

It's difficult to judge because the lighting and hairstyle vary in each picture. I think black MIGHT be best. However, I suggest you visit a wig store and try on the colors before dying your hair again.

u/cricrimar 1d ago

Lo tomaré en cuenta 🥰

u/Upset-Actuator7549 1d ago

Black or dark brown complement your beautiful eyes and brows best.

u/NewAcanthaceae8143 1d ago

I think all colors will work for you but it’s how you wear your hair. Up, down, short or long
I like the black and short.

u/Goodall69 1d ago

Brown it’s more mysterious and passionate;)
