i am thinking of going blonde. I was blonde until I was around 10 years old when I went darker. I have died my hair red-brown since I was 15 with the occasional chocolate thrown in.

I think I can pull off a blonde and want a shade that is pretty natural looking, not platinum/white/silver. My skin is on the pale side with freckles and my eyes are blue. My arm hair etc is pretty light. I think it wouldn't look weird on me if I went a blonde/brown etc. But I am not sure how to go about it. About half of my hair probably has colour in although I can't really tell where the natural and dye meet. The dye I put in was permanent.

And I am also not sure how much maintenance it requires. I am a low-maintenance kind of person and that makes me hesitate on changing the colour.

Any experienced blondes or hairdressers out there that can advise me on how to take the plunge?
