What Colour Would You Call This?

Hello everyone!

As I have alluded to in the past, I have rarely done anything different with my hair. It has always been big & blonde, and I loved it like that. However, for the last 6 months I have been wanting a change. My hairdresser (the lovely Jess from The House of Charles Worthington) made me wait this long, as she really loved the beach blonde colour of my hair, but I was adamant.

So, how the hell do you choose a new hair colour? Well I still don't know. I knew I wanted to go darker, but still be on the blonde spectrum, as too mark makes me look seriously ill. I started googling images like "bronde", "caramel blonde" and "dirty blonde" and came across some lovely hair colours, but they all came on uber tanned stunning beauties (Gisele Bündchen / Jennifer Aniston / Blake Lively), so I couldn't figure out how it would look on my pasty normal-looking  (hopefully!) self. So I just turned up, told her I trusted her, and put myself completely in her hands.

She decided to play it safe, and give me a good foundation colour, so I can tweak it in a few months depending on how I'm feeling. So drum roll please.....

I came in like this.

Yuck!

This is better, but a rather unrealistic representation of my usual look!

Halfway through I looked like this.

How does everyone other women in the salon look chic, and I look like this?

And I walked away like this...

I suppose it doesn't look too different, but trust me in real life it is quite a change. Also in some lights it goes very ginger (to the delight & horror of the boy & his brother).

Definite tinge of ginge!

So all in all I love the colour! And I love that I can get away with more dramatic make-up now! I would like to tweak it in December and make it a more definite colour (i.e. more ginger brown/caramel), but I don't know which way to go! Ooh decision decisions!


What colour would you call this, as I have no clue? Have any of you changed hair recently, I'd love to see! Which colour should I go next?
