BEFORE!I love getting my hair done and I love how my hair looks for about 3 weeks and then the dreaded roots come creeping back. It doesn't help either that I have a really annoying flick at the front of my parting which shows them off nicely.
Yes, it is still blonde but it is clearly darker in tone, bye bye platinum blonde locks. The hairdresser told me that as this was a huge step for me to take that I should start going darker gradually to be sure it was what I wanted.
I was so scared at first when she showed me the book of hair colours and picked out a really dark brown to break up the blonde. She put three colours through my hair in the end, a light blonde, golden blonde and a dark, almost brown blonde.
I'm so glad I took the step towards the dark side beacause I love my new, more managable colour hair. It feels so much more natural and not so in your face blonde. Don't get me wrong I loved having light blonde hair but because it was also long I felt self conscious about it sometimes.
What do you think, am I better suited to lighter or darker? I'd really appreciate your opinion!xx

Your so pretty!! xxx
Wow! I think your hair looks gorgeous, I prefer the darker blonde for sure - It really warms your face too :) x
It looks great. I am in the process of toning down my hair too.. bye bye bright blonde all over colours, hello darker blonde highlights! xox
Looks great, I love the dark brown that she's added to the front
You look gorgeous, the darker blonde definitely suits you more.
xx
I really like it... suits you! xXx
I prefer the darker blonde too - it really suits you! xx
i think a dark glossy brown would look loveley on you, i think your an either or kind of person, its either light or dark. but the inbetween suits you nicley!
I love the darker blonde! It really compliments your skin tone and looks lovely and warm. My hair is naturally dark blonde and I have highlights- everyone thinks it's natural though because when my roots grow you can hardly see them!

You pull off both blondes but I think I actually like the darker one more, it blends with your coloring better :)

It looks great both ways, I really like the darker blonde! x
oo hard one I like both but yeah I would probably lean towards the darker shade too it looks so natural and healthy
I think that looks gorgeous!! xx
I agree with Shortiee31, it makes your face look less pale and I think it really suits you and should be a bit less obvious when it grows out. Gorgeous x
love the darker blonde, does look really natural xx
Wow yourr hair gorgeous !
ive literally had my hair done and had a fringe put in big mistake it looks horrible :'( cant wait till it grows out :S
I think you look better darker blonde as it brings more warth to your face and just suits your skintone better :) !
x
i love it.....v glam i deffo prefer the darker xxx
You new colour is gorgeous, a darker honey colour would look very sexy so I think darker is the way to go. x
i like the bit darker color. definitely puts more color in your face - and heck if it's easier to deal with with having a toddler around - makes things all the more simpler. me - i chopped mine all off and haven't colored it yet - if you go to my blog -- mylifeinquestion.blogspot you'll see pics of how short it is.
Gosh!! I'm honestly 50/50 I really adore your bright blonde, but I can see that this more manageable colour will be less maintenance.... oh I dunno Holly.... you're a blonde blonde to me. Don't go too dark!! xoxo
I love it, prefer the darker blonde on you :) xx
I think it looks fab! There's a website called "taaz" where you can photoshop different hair styles on your face and so, you could see what you would look like with dark hair!
I like it either way, they both suit you! I'd say I prefer it darker though, it's more flattering on you. xXx
Admittedly when i read the title i thought 'oh noo i love her hair!!' but it actually looks really nice and i think it suits you more! xx
ps, it might sound a bit silly but i think it makes you look a bit more older and more like...woman than girl if you know what i mean?? No offence!! x
the darker is much. the platinum wasn't helping ur complexion at all.. it really washed u out. i even think u'd make a gorgeous brunette. but that new shade of blonde looks wonderful on u. def warms up face.
Love the darker tone, I think you made the right thing. Will look very natural and you look so pretty :)
I think the new color is GORGEOUS! Warm and beautiful against your skin. :)
I love it!!! Looks so healthy and shiny! Really suits you. X
you look gorgeous...lovely colour...xoxo
100% loving the darker blonde - it actually shows off your eyebrows and other facial features more.
I'm exactly the same as you, I missed my hairdressers on Friday but they actually told me I don't need to go in because my blonde isn't too contrasted with the roots as they grow out.
Having darker blonde means you can go every 12 weeks instead of 6. I am glad my hairdresser said I don't need it instead of just doing it for the money anyway!
I just make sure I get in the sun so my roots lighten naturally!

Ooo yes, I love it! Your complexion looks so much warmer, I much prefer it darker. You look gorgeous, the different tones blend together beautifully xx
@everyone - thank you so so much for your opinions, I feel so much better now reading all those great comments, after being bleach blonde for so long it was a big step for me and I've been in2minds about it. Now I love itxxx
You look great with the new hair colour. I like the darker blonde better because it makes your face look a little bit softer. Hopefully you will like your new look after the three weeks have passed.
gorgeous colour,really suits you:)
you look like a barbie with the light blonde, but i really like the darker shade too! it looks natural and brings out your eyes :)
it looks nice either way but the darker blonde warms u up a little :) xx
It's a very flattering colour. It warms your complexion x
i love it! excellent colour for you. x
this looks lovely Holly! very very nice, I too am going back to a much darker ashy blonde ASAP as I feel I have become "too blonde" I also think its good to darken for the winter and lighten for the summer :) thats my motto when it comes to blonde tones anyway xoxox
I honestly think you can have it both ways :) I think it looks beautiful dark though, it's always fun to switch it up a bit.
You look gorgeous with the darker tone!
I think the darker blond looks heavenly on you do not go lighter. also what eyeshadow are you wearing?
Gorgeous with both the lighter and darker blonde. The darker blonde really brings out the best parts of your complexion though and really warms up your face.
You look really pretty both ways but I think the darker blonde looks better! :)
I really love this darker blonde on you! I have been dying my hair for YEARS as well....:s...I have been debating whether I should add in some lowlights...maintaining blonde hair is so co$tly!
hey hun its good to break up bleach blonde hair with a few darker bits - gives it more texture and much cheaper too as you can leave it a lot longer - love it! x
The darker shade looks perfect, more natural, and I think your hair looks healthier too! :)

hiya hol, you probably dont want to publish this but i just wanted to say hi, and that i was back! when are you off on holiday? look forward to seeing you, hopefully before you go away. have you been alright? my trip was amazing, tell you more about it soon xx
love the hair, it looks much more natural, looking forward to seeing it in person soon! xx
@Phoebe - hey wow your back, glad you had a fantastic time!!I'm going away today this evening so I might pop in later if your around!xxx
the darker blonde looks so much more natural. Its so pretty. Nice one!x
i really love your new blonde hair! the darker shade gives a warmer look xx
The darker blonde really suits you so well - stick with it!
U look gorgeous either way, However, I prefer the blonder version....It ooozes confidences and shows strength as a woman....we don't always feel strong and confident however, and the warmer version could feel more comfortable in the public eye. I say, whatever U prefer and like the most is always the best choice. I understand both looks serve a purpose....I say celebrate the blonde!!either way u look fabulous....Lotsaluv2u!!
