Id like to dye my hair but I don't know what colour to, something light. My natural colour is an ash brown/dark blonde and I've been dying it dark for about 2 years and id like a change for my next year at uni. Id like to go a burnt copper colour but I'm unsure if it'll suit me.

Help would be appreciated. Thank you!

I have a similar natural hair color and have found it easy to bleach/lighten. You might want to be careful about going copper because you seem to have reddish undertones to your skin (as do I) and it might make your face seem reddish.

If I were you, and wanted to go lighter, I'd suggest a more light, ashy blonde. I think it would fit go well with your skintone and really make your brown eyes pop!

Thank you! I seemed to always think I had yellow undertones because I do have Asian in my family as my nan is thai but I am the palest of my family. Even when I dyed my hair "passion red" as they call it on the box, it looked fine but I don't know if that is that certain red?

Oh... lol well maybe the picture confused my eyeballs haha it's a bit hard to tell someone's exact skintone from pictures.

If that's the case then, and you've tried red before then I don't think you would really have much of a problem with a coppery color. In my opinion, hair is just hair; you can always recolor it if it doesn't look the best.

Have fun experimenting! If there's a color you really want to try, I'd say go for it :3
