Hair Tragedy?!?

Question

I am in DIRE need of some advice for my hair. Currently my hair is just at the bottom of my shoulder blades in length. This is where I try to keep it. I get it layered and have the stylist go nuts with the thinning shears. I live in the tropics so its hot here! It weighs a ton and really gets too hot. Anyways my natural hair color is here http://www.ultimatelooks.com/evagaborcolors/14C%20DIRTY%20BLONDElg1.jpg
well, I think - truthfully I haven't seen my natural hair color in about 8 years. :-(
I have always went to a lighter blonde - this shade -

I surf on a daily basis so my hair in always exposed to sun and sea water. The shade of blonde that I have had - forever it seems keeps turning lighter and lighter when I'm out in the sun. I don't want my hair to be too light I'm trying to tone it down - how do I counteract this problem and still have natural looking hair?

Answer 1

i think u should stick with ur natural hair color and then let it get some highlights out in the sun and water !
good luck!

Answer 2

i've worried bout the same thing. ive been getting my hair colored for more than six years now, and no matter what i do the color always lightens. exposing your hair to sun and sea water will make it lighten up more. have u tried to ease on the shampooing? how about over the counter conditioners that seal in color? it helps, but i think no matter what we do we are at the mercy of it getting lighter overtime. my solution, just recolor when it starts to look funky.

Answer 3

Well, don't dye your full head in blonde. Dye your hair similar to your natural color in a semi-permanent dye, and then add some bialage highlights, so that when you are out in the sun, they will lighten up and add color to your light brown-dark blonde hair.

Answer 4

Why should it be tragic? Just trim it!
