My wedding is two months away. I’m getting my hair colored today and I still don’t know what to do! I’ve been dark brown, red, and blonde before, but I want to know which you think is my best look.
Do your best to ignore the particular hairstyle in the photos and try to focus on the color. My hair will be a chin-length bob for the wedding, styled to be wavy like this (fyi the color pictured here is what I call “medium brown”):
DARK BROWN:
MEDIUM BROWN:
RED:
BLONDE (this pic makes it look very yellow…but you get the idea):

leahloughran: Honestly.. I like the medium brown, or dark brown, best on you.. They both go best with your eyebrows. The red and blonde is pretty, but tthey don’t look at all like they are meant to be your natural colors. Just think of it this way, when you look back 20 years from now at your wedding pics, will you think red was too much and not you?? Do you want more natural, or want a fun color? If fun, I would do the red or blonde. It is all up to you. Myself, I wanted natural color for my photos!

leahloughran: Medium brown definitely, followed by dark brown. I love the medium brown on you – it’s almost like there are some reddish highlights in there. I think it’s super pretty.
The red/blonde is fun for every day life, but like a PP said, do you really want your wedding pics with your hair those colors? I feel like it’s too obvious they are fake.

Since you colour your hair often, I’d say the medium brown looks the most natural. I think when looking back on photos you’ll probably want that in a colour?
I like the dark brown and red as well, but I would probably shy away from red for your wedding.
PS You have stunning eyes!!

I think the medium brown is perfect- has a bit of reddish tones for fun, but still looks natural.

Medium brown is the best shade for your skin tone, which I think will translate to the most natural-looking photos.

I like dark brown best on you, followed by medium brown.

Thank you everyone! I think I’ll stick with medium brown. As a hair color addict, sometimes I favor change over what looks best. But I definitely want to look my best on my big day!

leahloughran: I think the medium brown is an awesome choice!!!!! After the wedding day, go do a fun color again if you want! But, medium brown will be so pretty on you that day!

Medium brown, possibly even with more caramel highlights? I like the darker brown too. Red and blonde are fun, but they don’t look natural. I think for your photos you’d want a more classic look.
