I'm planning on dyeing my hair. Right now it's black but I want to dye it brown. What shade of brown?

Question

I have fair skin, since birth..hence the name 'Bianca'

I'm one of those lighter skinned Filipinos.

I try to avoid the sun because I hate tans. =P

And..this will be the first time I am going to dye my hair.

Answer 1

Use a dark shade of brown.....

Answer 2

Hi Bianca,

How about a dark reddish brown? I think you'll look gorgeous. I'm really fair too, and just tried this new color by Garnier called Dark Red (its like a brownish red not very visible in the day of course!).

If you want to try a bolder color, try L'Oreal's Copper Red.

Whatever you do, don't go for a blonde brown. Its a lil extreme, and honestly, faux pas.

Good luck!

Answer 3

Ive dyed my hair over a million times, so if you are planning on dying it brown just pick one that you dont think will eventually look red in the sun b/c i used to use dyes like that and now i cant get the red tones out of my hair no matter what color of brown i dye it. good luck! and make sure you dont miss any spots when your dying it because you can definately see them!

Answer 4

Dear Bianca,
I know that this is not the answer you asked for, But I just cant stop my self from telling you this.
Filipinos have in my opnion amazing hair naturaly. They have a beutiful rich deep dark color that is shiny and healthy looking.
When long very few people can resist to not look at it twice.
Why change what is not broken.
I wish that you could see the beauty you were given one day.
Best wishes

Answer 5

Dark brown

Answer 6

hey why dont u go for a darker shade of brown with a few nicely placed streaks of light brown or hazel?
and see if u can get a nice haircut u know,of varying lengths of each part
that'll make the shade stand out

Answer 7

3sa is ideal, it is going to bypass orange trust me no longer in trouble-free terms does your hair have pink tints in it, yet black hair dye has pink in it, so whenever you position a lighter colour on it (i.e brown) it is going to bypass ORANGE you need to basically improve your organic colour out. Im in the attitude of doing that now and its taking sooo lengthy :( besides the undeniable fact that it is going to likely be properly worth it in the top then il be in a position to get highlights :) xxxxx

Answer 8

any shade of brown hair will look beautiful on a fair skin person

Answer 9

you have to take the colour out if you want to go a lighter shade.
