My natural hair colour is like TaRhLi. For years I would go lighter, assuming being fair skinned, blue eyes, freckles & very pale eye brows & lashes that it would look weird if I went dark.

But I took the plunge about 6 years ago to go dark & now I wont go back to light. I have to keep up with tinting my brows & lashes though but thats simple enough.

However a few weeks back I thought I would strip the colour from my hair & put something a bit lighter then the darkest brown I had in it. I put 2 lots of bleach through it & then a red. It looks ok now but my hair is horrid. Im tempted to shave it off to be honest LOL. Which I have done before.

I would try getting lighter foils first for a lighter look before you go blonde
