My Hair!
Even though the majority of my followers and friends have told me that they actually prefer me with really dark hair that is almost black, I am not having a great time dealing with it!
I find it hard to choose what clothes to wear in the morning, l avoid wearing black as not to look like I am going to a funeral. I have also found that it can make me look really harsh, I feel pale when I am not wearing bronzer and I never really feel pale! Overall, I just think it's TOO overpowering for me.
Excuse the lack of makeup I am wearing, I was having a no make up day but I then FYI later decided to add a bit of BB tinted moisturiser, Boing undereye concealer, Barry M bronzer, some eyeliner on my upper lash line and mac pink fish tlc.

Therefore, I have hit the anti dandruff shampoo bigtime!!! I have been washing my hair day and night so I can strip some of the colour out of it and make it lighter! This is what it looks like this evening. It's no longer looking "black" but more of a really really dark brown - or is it my imagination? I hope not becuase I can actually see the colour running out everytime I wash it!
I have also added lots more layers to my hair to make it alot more "ME" :)

If, still after a few more washes my hair isn't the colour I want it to be, I assume that I would have stripped off enough colour to dye it again, this time with L'oreals ultra lightening natural brown. This should work - I hope! I have two packets of these that just keep staring at me :)
Hair is a big thing for me, maybe I shouldn'y have gone for such a drastic change, I don't know.. I always change my mind and end up wishing I just left it alone :(

Dont worry if it doesnt fade.. i can 100% assure you even if your not used to it or feeling comfortable you do look great!
I do the anti d shampoo thing too. To strip dye i leave it on for 5 min like a mask, wash off then again 5 min & wash off. Hope things fade quickly for you!! xx
@tali, Thanks for the tip, I shall try it as a mask too :)
@Marie thanks for the encouragement :)
If you find that shampoo isn't doing it for you, add some dish soap in your wash. It's drying, but strips it out especially if you just let it soak in your hair for 5+ minutes.
But yeah, you have the features and face for a shorter cut!
Your so pretty, you could get away with any color hair!!!!
If u must go to a hairdressers and have it lightened, at least then you're minimizing the treatments x

I like the way it looks on you! Sure, you have to get used to it.

Good luck and in the meantime, remember that it would take a heck of a lot for you not to look hot! xxNadia
I know what you going through, iv always had a golden brown colour, but wanted a change and i coloured my hair dark brown a few weeks ago and i hate it!
Hope your colour fades as fast as mine :)
