Lovelyish

Auburn!

strawberry blonde/ginger red

You looked really good as a blonde, actually.  most people who look good blonde look better with red hair (blonde is blah, red is FIREY hot).

There’s a few sites where you can upload your photo and “try on” hair colors. 
Here’s a few:

Good luck.

if ur hair is that weird dullish look try a deep conditioner and get it to look shiny im sure you kno that dying ur hair all the time will leave it dry feeling and brittle. even more so with straightening it everyday. have you ever used heat protecting products that you can spray on right before you straighten ur hair? if not i highly recommend it. however by adding a deep conditioner or anything that will add shine to your hair youll get that look/feel that youve dyed it without the damage part. in the end tho id think a redish color would suit you really well. its classy with yet im here to have fun kinda look. 

Green.

shave it off

go for purple. yup. purpley red. with purple lowlights.

I think you look good in both the light and darker shades…I’m with those who suggested to go red next (or red-tinted at least).  Maybe a light auburn.  I would say go all-out and go bright ginger, but light auburn is better if you’re more apprehensive about making a drastic change.  I’ve been almost every hair color in the book, and I always felt like red was the most fun.  Even more so than blonde

I actually think the middle one suits your colouring best. Perhaps look into a different cut instead of a different colour to get more “edge” or something.

The middle one, or a auburn hair color. Blond ages people.

go raven

I wanna say go for a strawberry blonde look. you can pull it off!

Thanks for the insight everyone!

I Like you as a brunette the most in the first picture!

I like it blonde but I’m biased haha. My natural is like yours, maybe a little lighter, and I think one good thing about that color is that it can look good and natural both darker and lighter than it actually is.

If you don’t want to be as drastic blonde, just do blonde highlights! They’ll blend into your entire head and look really natural.

I really like your natural color but think maybe a little red in it would be good for the spring

Gray. HAHA

To be honest, I like your natural color best and i thought that from just looking at the photos, before reading your post.

It seems to fit your coloring the best.  my second choice would be the darker hair and blond would be third.

though, it’s hard to really compare the photos since they’re taken in different lighting etc.
but based on the photos you posted, i like the middle one best.

Your main display picture/thumb nail is nice with the high lights looks good too

My main problem with blond is the maintenance and like you said, it’s fairly damaging to your hair.

You could try using glazes to enhance your current color, deep conditioning masks etc.

If you want to enhance the darker tones in your hair, then brew some really strong coffee, let it cool (so it won’t burn) and use it as a final rinse.  put it in a pitcher, flip your hair over a large bowl (i still stay in my shower so it doesn’t splash etc) and rinse it through your hair collecting the coffee in the bowl, then put it back into the pitcher and keep rinsing through your hair collecting in the large bowl etc. make sure to really saturate your hair with the coffee.

you can bring out red tones in your hair by boiling beets and then using the cooled water as a rinse through your hair.

To bring out and enhance blonder tones, use cooled chamomile tea.
(this is far less damaging than using lemon juice, which is drying)

You don’t need to wash this out with water afterward,  just blot it out with a towel and dry as usual.  coffee etc may leave a slight scent in your hair though.  but you could use it as a weekly rinse to help enhance color

Go red!  Blondes may have more fun, but redheads get more free drinks!  

I go red in the fall/winter and return to blonde in the spring/summer. Were I you, I would play around; that’s what hair is for. That said, I found the center photo of you to be the most flattering, not so much because of the haircolor, but the styling (you had it pulled off of your face, and I found it to be most agreeable with your bone structure).

@Kellsbella@xanga - I’m a natural redhead.  I’ve played around with my hair color for the first time ever last year.  I was thinking of going blonde for a bit this summer, just to try it and to see what my red hair does with it.  

@TiredSoVeryTired@xanga - Yeah! If you just get a partial foil, you’ll get an idea of what the highlights of blonde look like. If you dig it, you can have em do a full foil. I don’t know if that made any sense. (I’m not speaking in tongues.I was a hairdresser)

Red. Although I think you look best with your natural hair color.

@Kellsbella@xanga - I got full all-over blonde highlights last October (whatever partial foil that could be, lol).  A lot of people really liked it.  I think I might try to go full blonde just once, my hair isn’t holding any color that isn’t red so I know it’ll be some reddish blonde color after a week or so.  

@TiredSoVeryTired@xanga - I don’t know what your haircolour is now, but from your pic, it appears dark enough to do a double process (bleach and tone). You would be all over blonde, and, unfortunately, you would need to do the same process to your roots in a few weeks.Unless, you take the Kells route, and just throw in some lowlights to offset the new growth. Am I making any sense? 

I like your natural color and blonde, don’t care for the dark at all. So whatever you do…I’d keep it light.

@Kellsbella@xanga - I just dyed my hair a light auburn and don’t scream when I say this but from a box!  Oh, I know, I know… it is Clairol’s nice ‘n easy foam, light auburn 6R.  I don’t know what a double process is!  And I kinda get what lowlights are even if I don’t know how any of that works!

I was thinking of trying a medium golden blonde.  I don’t want to be too light. 

@TiredSoVeryTired@xanga - I don’t think there’s anything wrong with boxed colour, but you didn’t here me say that (tee-hee).
