Wellllll..I'd went brown, and I love it. Brunettes are beautiful! However, I think I look better as a blonde...so I've now started my journey back to my roots... blonde! My goal is to maybe have an overall color of my natural color (a medium blonde) with lots of highlights of an even lighter blonde. Since I'm starting with a box-dyed chocolate brown it's going to be a process. I don't expect the perfect color right away.

Went in with dark hair, the stylists said I should opt for hi-lights since I have dye in my hair. One, because it wouldn't be as hard on my hair/scalp..and Two, the color lifts a little unevenly usuallly and could have made my hair appear blotchy. I got a VERY heavy weave with 20 volume on bottom, and 30 on top. (BC my hair is long and thick it takes a while to do)
It surprisingly came out very well. They didn't even have to use toner! The colors lifted well and mostly not brassy, to champagne blonde color highlight. Overall, my hair is still darker than I want it, but it looks nice. I will heavily condition it and treat it for the next week or two to prepare for round two of dying/highlighting/or hwatever they do.
