or highlites in your real hair some times or go to a professonal
beauity Salon they can do it !

Answer 2

I would just do some hi lights if I were you or the caramel brown. Ash brown will look really dark. If you just use the non-permanent it is mostly conditioners and doesn't chemically alter the hair. Permanent color on the other hand does alter the hair, changes the texture and takes a long time get the hair back to it's natural state. i do mine all the time. If I want texture because my hair is fine, I use a blonde, lightener, my hair is med. brown and some gray, then I use a permanent color and when it starts to wash out I use the semi-permanent to freshen it in between. I do that about twice a year. i go between browns and reddish browns. I enjoy the experimenting.

Answer 3

Go for Loreal Natural Match. Try a dark golden brown or lighter ash brown.

Answer 4

light color will suit. go for light color wel u want to do it youself. if u know then ok otherwise u may damage your hair. for care ful use of color use loreal, dont use 12% hydrogen peroxide. use 6% hydrogen peroxide keep it for 45 minutes.before using color apply protector to ur hair.

Answer 5

it depends on the undertone of the color versus your skin if you have golden skin then i recommend you stick inthe same undertones and the best way to determine if a color is right for you is it should never require bleach to get to it if it needs bleaching then it is to light for your natural complexion follow your pigments...

Answer 6

Going blond will make you looked pale and washed out.

Answer 7

dont go too light or u will look pale, dont match ur complexion either u'd just look odd.......def go darker
