    So ladies..I have really been missing my red hair lately.. but my family really likes its blonde and currently I am brunette (confused yet?? lol) I am thinking about going back to the streaks but I dunno... So I need honest advice!! here are a few pics (yes yes the typical facebook/myspace pics lol) to help with the decision.

    First is natural, then red and black streaks, then blonde streaks, and then full blonde.

    I like all natural the best; or the blonde look at the bottom.  The streaks don't look natural to me (unless you're going for the punk rock look, in which case, number 3 is definitely the best!)

    Maybe I am just simple, but I like the brunette look best...

    i like the brunette.. you can always put some red in (full head) just to give some natural red highlights (i do that every once in a while)

    Looks like that natural brunette is more of an auburn/reddish brunette. Definitely think that's the best look for you, that tone with maybe a bit of redder/darker lowlights to give it some more depth. I'm a blonde about to go dark in a week! Can't wait!

    I like the all-natural look!  Especially for a wedding--you're going to be taking photos that you will be looking at forever, so you want your hairstyle to be classic.  That's just my two cents!

    I like the brown the best, but what about a warm reddish brown?   Then you'll have the best of both worlds :)  OR you could keep the brown then get blondish and red or strawberry blonde highlights...  I did that once and really loved it :)

    Natural. Followed by the red and black streaks.

    The blonde streaks remind me of in the 90s when the home frosting kits came out and everyone went and home-highlighted their hair.

    I'd stay brunette. The other look to un-natural, and the blonde washes you out. Maybe if you did a lighter brown for highlights to add some extra deepth?

    blonde washes you out, the blonde streaks are too contrasty to be flattering, and the brunette/red ís edgy. I like the natural the best- you have such gorgeous thick hair! It's like a shampoo ad!

    Meanwhile, if you're looking to try something new, have you thought of subtle highlights? So you highlight your dark brown hair with light brown and honey tones? I think that could look different and pretty on you.
