LOL! I'm new to this forum. I've never been here before but I hang out at the other "people" forum.

You know how women, when they need to make a change, the hair is the first to go? Well, that's why I'm here. I need some suggestion on what I do with my hair. I'll post some pictures to ask you for your opinion on which hair looks better, and what color. It's mainly the color that I want to change. The length, I've decided to cut it short, and get a bob haircut.

Current, black


three months ago, brown with highlights

auburn, 2 years ago.

3 years ago, dirty blonde



Please give me some suggestion on which color looks good. My hairdresses is somewhat useless in this area because she doesnt' seem to have an opinion. She'll do whatever she tells me.

I *love* the auburn - it's very warm and rich.

PH, they ALL look good! Although I'm a little biased, I agree the auburn looks best.

I like the second one. Very rich and natural! What kind of bob are you getting?

Thanks, guys. I guess I'm not going lighter, then.

I was thinking of getting a bob haircut. Maybe shoulder length, or slightly above the shoulder. The last time I cut my hair short was 10 years ago so this would be a dramatic change. Well see if I can actually do it, lol. The only part of my body that I make a big fuss about is my hair.

Love the auburn, also! You are really pretty in any hair color but the auburn looks the best.

I think I just came out of the salon in that picture...then went hiking, lol. The color faded within a week because I had blonde hair a week before. If I do it this time, I think it'll stay as dark as that. And it won't be as high maintenance as the lighter color.

I like the brown with highlights. My second choice would be the auburn.

I think it''ll be a toss up between the brown highlights and the auburn.

I like the brown! A warm brown, like chestnut, might be nice.

It's very soft against your skin tone.

Is this Shoulder length bob what you are talking about?

I like that bob cut but my hair is too curly and I can't have bangs. I just look really goofy when I have bangs. This is what my real hair looks like, so if I cut it short, I'll have to straighten it every day or else I'll look like a mop, lol.

I'll be the weird one & say that I like the dirty blonde. Not sure why...it might just be the expression on your face, but that's definitely my favorite picture.

So did you get it cut & colored yet?

Actually, I'm so tempted to do the dirty blonde again. That was my hair color for about 20 years (varying shades) but it's too high maintenance because my hair is jet black. I look way softer and more playful with blonde and believe it or not, I look very natural in it. But I won't go that light again. $200 every 2 months for maintenance is not something I can justify at this point.

I've decided on the auburn one. I'll do some major hair treatment before I color it again in a few weeks.

I can't believe I'm making a big fuss out ot this, lol.

You're a woman. I'm pretty sure that means we're entitled to make a fuss once in awhile.

Can't wait to see the new hairstyle pics. I really do like the dirty blonde, but I completely understand the financial aspect of it. That's why my hair has yet to be cut...although it's LONG overdue. Haha (I didn't intend the pun, but that was great!)....

I absolutely love the auburn on people who have jet black hair to begin with. I'm a big fan of reds in with black (is it bad that I can't wait for my daughter to become a teenager just because of all the things I want to do with her hair???)

Ha ha. I'm so much like you. I make a bigger fuss about my duaghter's hair more than she does. Well, she's only 11. She's got this gorgeous hair that curls at the bottom. I straighten it at times. But I keep telling her that i hope she doesn't color her hair because it's so nice and I don't want it getting all dry and frizzy. She's my little doll.

I'll post a pic of the new style once I get it done. Probably in 3 weeks because that's when I get another day off on Friday.

I'm biased because I have black hair, so I would suggest getting the black with a soft just above the shoulders bob. Maybe add very subtle brown highlights?

I like the brown with highlights best. Also definitely don't go with a haircut that you're going to have to fight with every day. I have very little patience with my uncooperative hair but thankfully my hairdresser understands this I hope you do post a picture after so we can see.

I think I decided to keep my natural hair color and add Burgundy/red highlights instead. I don't want to go too drastic. I'll probably keep most of my length because I like long hair and it's really curly that going short will be too much work. I'll post a picture after I get it done. I'm done with my mid life crisis, lol....so, I'm not going to do major changes.

ok, guys, I finally had it done! What do you think? I'm too chicken to make a big change, lol. But it's actually quite different from the black. My daughter too the picture at night so it doesn't show much. I was going to cut it short, but I couldn't do it. Here's a couple of other shots. I went to a different hairdresser this time.
