Lovelyish

If I was faced with the situation, I would just dye my hair purple.
Haha.

But hmm, in your case, I kind of like your hair darker, but in the end, it’s really up to what color you prefer.

i like your hair darker. speaking of which, after dying my hair lighter for years, i stopped.  i prefer my natural color now, which is dark brown.  it’s a lot cheaper.  and if you want more body by way of dying your hair, you can do it less frequently.  and you wouldn’t have to worry about roots.  besides, asian skin looks best in darker hair color.  you can always have fun with tintng it purple or blue or red or dark pink. 

natural is always good =]

btw, you are very pretty

i, too, like your hair darker. the contrast between your hair and skin makes you look more interesting to me.

i would go back to my natural hair color for my portrait, but actually, i wouldn’t dye my hair anyway. so i guess it’s a moot point? but i kind of liken your situation to a guy i know who always had a mustache, but shaved it off for his wedding. now he looks at his wedding pictures and he can’t remember why in the world he made himself look different than his ‘normal look’ in pictures that he would look at for the rest of his life.

I’d say you look much better in the natural colour.  It’s more sophisticated, I guess.  

p.s. i don’t know if you were thinking of changing style too, but i like the style that you have now, with the darker hair color!

if you wanted, instead of going back to your natural color, you could just switch to a deeper shade of your current color. It would look more sophisticated, but still be a change from the natural color.

I like it darker aswell,(:
But if you don’t feel like going back so soon, just use a semi permanent hair Color for the picture, and then itlll wash out a few washes later so you won’t have to change it completely (:

I like the reddish brown on you. I think it works with your skin tone. And honestly, when you’re forty and looking back on your life, your hair color at this age is probably gonna be the least of your concerns, you know what I mean? It’s not a big deal So if you like your hair now, keep it! 

You should go for your natural hair color all of the time!

I think your hair looks better darker, but ultimately it’s your decision.

I’d say the natural color looks better, and you may prefer it for your picture when you’re looking back. Who knows… It’s your call, but I’d say go darker for it. I like the idea someone mentioned above of using semi-permanent dye to change it darker for the picture, so you won’t be stuck with the darker color for too long after the picture’s taken.

I would keep it. It shows what you were like and looked like in that time of your life. I currently have really dark hair, and am naturally a blonde. I like my dark hair alot and am not ready to go back.

I think your hair looks nicer darker (it seems shinier for some reason) but it looks nice reddish brown too. Meet in the middle and go dark brown?

i like your current hair color.  i think it fits you, and it looks really good.

you look pretty either way!

I think they both look great. Only thing I can say is that the natural color seems to work better with your skin tone. But, again, they both look good and the reddish brown is really cute on you. 

keep it =]
it’ll bring back some memories and you’ll see who you were senior year. besides, when you’re 40, im sure you’ll look at the picture it criticize it in some way or another anyway we all do that with pictures.

shave it. make a britney statement.

i think natural is the way to go ,
you look great with the darker hair !

Your natural hair is beautiful!

I like the black hair!

I go with everyone else, natural.

You rock with the black hair!!!

natural hair color :] it suits your look better. 

right now you are about a level 5 brown.  your natural color is between a 2 and a 1.  you can compromise and go level 3 dark brown! 

haha… seriously though… senior portraits aren’t such a big deal that you will look back on them as such an important photo in your life.  a person’s senior picture is rarely one of their favorite photos.  the poses are so stiff, the clothes so conservative, the background so generic.  i never get the urge to look at my senior photos, and when i do, all i think is, “wow, i looked young.”

you should look the way you want to look now, so when you look back on it, you will remember what phase of life you were in at the time.  it’s not like your hair is a crazy color.  i think your shade of brown will always be in style!

(regular black hair looks too normal to me, and a bit fobby!  sorry, black haired asians!)

(please never dye your hair black – it will be too harsh, inky, and fake looking.  dark brown almost looks black and will be so much easier to lift later if you want to change colors!)

when you dye your hair, try to stick with that color as long as possible and only touch up the roots!  this is for your hair’s sake!  take it from a hairstylist (me)!

i like your hair natural better=]

Both colors look nice on you but your natural hair color looks so much more cuter and elegant.

At least you can dye your hair reddish brown! My hair is almost color resistant :’(

I will stick with the red color… even if you think it’s a mistake when you look back in the future… it’s those “mistakes” which remind us of the olden days

I still like to see my blondish hair back in those days

I prefer the red hair, it looks much more playful and suits your age better. The dark hair makes you look like you’re already in your 40′s.

@Lianne_Lin@xanga - that’s funny, i actually thought that coloured hair looked more fobby to me than natural asian hair.  but i think it’s more the haircut and overall style that’ll make someone look fobby.  haha

imo, your natural hair colour looks better.  but there’s nothing wrong with your current hair colour, and ultimately i’d say keep it, just for memories’ sake.  but if you really want to look your best, then i suggest dying your hair back into a darker shade

that;s a tough one. i think you should keep the color. it would make for more interesting memories. plus i think it looks nice. especially since it’s winter time like you said. but choose what you want. good luck!

I think the natural hair color suits you But either way, you’re pretty so I wouldn’t stress about it too much

Your natural hair is gorgeous! I love how shiny and healthy looking dark hair is. If I could go dark like that I would. Maybe do some chunky highlights in it. I get bored with my hair too. I was thinking of doing some bleach blond highlights with streaks of light pink in the underneath layers in mine. 

you look beautiful both ways, but i prefer the lighter. i would love to see your hair a dark purple. like black that looks purple when the sun hits it. but i don’t think you can go wrong either way :]

I love your hair natural.
I think natural black hair is so beautiful.
You can always tell when someone has dyed their hair black.  It just never looks right.

I say keep it only because it’s not good to dye your hair so often. You said you just dyed it a month ago. Besides, the color seems to make you tanner

i think you look better with black hair

I like your natural color. =D

I think both options are fine. The color of the dye (from looking at the photo) are not very un-formal wacky, etc. In fact, I like that dye on your hair, it make you hair shows more volume, then your black hair on the photo.

So, I think it’s okay to have this dye color (the one in the photo).

You look younger in the natural hair, and a little more mature in the dye hair. You choose.

But don’t dye your hair like green or red, etc, that’s no no. hehe.

How update is your dye hair photo? It seems there is some black on the top, um…perhaps you can consider redye your hair, or I think highligts is a good option too.

Highlights create strips and look less obvious when the black starts to appear on top. Also, it make hair look more volume visually, and it’s less ‘un-natural’ than dying the all the hair.

the black hair is nicer. its much more “striking”.. i always loved the way dark hair looked against light skin. it will look gorgeous in your pics go back to naturalllll

I like the reddish brown on you.

I like both colors.  I color my hair alot and if I need to have a picture taken I just take it with whatever hair color I have at the time.  You decided to color your hair for a reason I’m assuming, and it looks good.  So if you like it then don’t worry about it.  As for the semi-perm hair color I would just caution that darker colors don’t always wash out fully, so your hair might end up drab looking from the darker color washing away only partially.

I like the idea that people said of just going a little darker but not all the way, that might look more natural but still different.

I’m a little biased because I am a super redhead fan. But I really think red will give you a unique pop. There are so many Asians girls with black or dark brown hair, seeing auburn or dark-red hair is a relief, plus I find it complements the Asian face very nicely. The red adds personality.

i like black hair on you better. lighter hair seems to wash out your features a bit.

i think you should keep it the way you have it dyed now to remind yourself of who you were when the picture was taken.  a “frozen in time” kind of sentiment.

the lighter shade of your hair color suits you best, i think.

no- this is what you look like now, you dont need to change.

GO NATURAL!!!

you will look back years from now, and ask yourself, why didn’t i just show how it looked, because i assure you will fall in love with it again. just like how i hated my curls for the longest time. all my major grad pictures are straight, and i hate them all now!

Well, that hair is you right now, so you should keep is as a reminder of you… as a senior.  I vote keep!

Black (:

Your natural hair colour is stunning but you know what? It’s just one picture. The coloured hair is cute and you’re happy with it, so unless you think you are going to have big regrets about it not being in its natural form for your grad picture, just leave it. You’ll get a kick out of it in a decade, anyway.

I do like the darker hair, but it depends on what you want your senior pictures to reflect. I would say your hair color would be between these messages: a studious natural beauty with potential (dark hair) or a friendly and sweet girl who cherishes the ‘good times’ (red hair).

I agree, natural is the way to be. 

both are nice. do which ever you like. clearly you like the color you dyed it. so why not. i’m blonde in all of my senior pictures. and right after them i dyed my hair dark brown. i looked different, but sometimes different’s nice. and i’m sure by the time you’re 40 you will have dyed your hair many other colors anyways….

not to mention you can allllways pick out something you have no idea why you did in a picture anyways. so even if you do go back to natural you’ll wonder why you wore that shirt
just have fun. it’s your life now…

keep it. when you’re 40, you’ll want to flip back and see who you are now, not the appearance that you think an older you would appreciate. things change over time, and you shouldn’t change your appearance just for a picture. 

all natural is all better, i think. i also see alot of my girl friends senior year pictures when they had dyed their hair and compared to now when its not dyed, it looks better now. but since you look cute both ways, i guess its a hard decision. =]

i think the brown looks good

Darker, please. :3

As a redhead myself I must say that I love the redhair.

I’d go a couple shades darker with it though, because with your skintone a darker red would look better.

You should just keep your reddish brown hair color for memories.

i love it black/dark brown! it has a beautiful natural look and glossy shine to it!

lol i love your naturally dark hair … & you’re absolutely gorgeous & i cant believe you’re only a senior *gasp*

I like your current hair color, and don’t worry! I know a lot of people who have taken their yearbook photos with the red-brown color. I swear so many Asian people have colored their hair now that it’s looks like it’s natural. I was one of the few girls with a natural hair color in my yearbook. When I look back on it, I kinda wish I colored it so I wouldn’t look so…traditional? But’s all a matter of personal preference, good luck!

my senior pictures. esp the b&w ones. look like the 70′s year book pictures in my parents yearbooks. teases hair and black rimmed glasses. anyway, i never dye my hair so i’ve never been faced with this problem. i’d probably just stick with whatever the current color is. a picture is just freezing what you look like in that moment of time. i think you’ll be thrilled to look back one day and think about how you dyed your hair and whatnot. saying ‘what was i thinkin’ is half the fun of yearbooks.

Both look great on you, I think.

From my experience: I graduated 2 years ago, and about a month before senior portraits, I got perscribed to glasses for driving. I figured I’d be wearing them for years to come, so wore them to my portraits.

I ended up never getting my license (too scared), and therefore never have to wear the glasses. I haven’t touched them since my senior year, so my portraits look nothing like me in high school… stupid glasses. So go with what you think feels good now, if nothing else, it’ll provide a giggle when you go over the pictures with your grandkids. They’ll probably pick on your clothing choices more than hair color =)

dude, keep the red!

it looks nice and you like it for right now, so keep it! 

It sounds as if you’ve already decided you like the red better, but to tell you the truth I think you’re gorgeous with black hair.

Personally, I like the natural hair. 

black hair, but you look great either way

go natural!

You’re pretty either way, but I’d say go natural.
Black hair and your skin would look great!

Beautiful either way, but I agree with the person who said to keep it the way it is now. That will show who you were and how you looked at this period in time. It is a history of you. Everyone changes during their life and you are so beautiful with the color you currently have. Keep it. You’ll be glad you have a good photo record of it before you change it back to the same-ol same-ol that you’ve had all your life.

I don’t think that’s really a colour you’ll regret too much, because it isn’t crazy and vibrant or anything. I would personally keep the new colour, but that’s just my opinion.

I wouldn’t stress about the color of your hair, do what makes you happy and feels good right now, live in and for the moment. You’re stunning, don’t worry about what color hair you have, when you’re in your 40′s looking at the pictures, you’ll probably have some other crazy story to laugh about other than your hair, we always do!

The natural looks better in this comparison because of the quality of the pictures.

You’ll look fine either way.

i would vote natural. but then, that’s just me and i wont be looking at your yearbook photo in 40 years, so it’s up to you

I’d leave it the way it is, afterall the photo is really for the people you went to school with. They might appreciate having a picture of you, the way they remember you looking. And believe me, by the time you’re 40, your yearbook picture won’t really be an issue, no matter what it looked like.

I like either colour, but I think by the time you’re that age you’ll have had dark hair for so long that you might like flipping back and seeing yourself with red hair

As a future hairdresser, my advice to you is something I always say “If you can go black, please don’t go back”. Very few whom are not naturally born dark can handle the colour, but you, my dear, can. Flaunt it!

I like the reddish brown. =]

You can never go wrong with your natural hair color. Its pretty.

Both look beautiful in its own way.  I myself am going through this little decision process.  Personally, I plan on going back to a natural, classic black.

You’re putting too much importance on this senior portrait thing.  Trust me, when you’re 40 you’ll have other concerns.

i think the darker hair looks way better

i think the reddish-brown color is more flattering on you.

this is what you look like now, at this stage in your life. you want to remember it! i say keep the color

you are prtty no matter your hair color!!
