The darker color is 100% you. It makes you look vibrant and refreshed. The lighter color washes out your coloring and makes you look a little tired and washed out. Your skin and bone structure are absolutely gorgeous so you should wear a color that makes you the focal point vs the other way around. Hopefully that made sense. ♥️

@@happytrails699you are so gorgeous and look so young for your age already. This color looks amazing on you. If you do want to brighten or lighten it up a little and if it is ok with the brand you are using, you may want to go 1/2 color you used in this video with 1/2 5G or 6G. This can help make sure you don't end up with too much brass or red tones. I do this mix with demi permanent color because my eyes and hair and skin are close to yours in color. If I go all 5G I get a lot of red ones. I am not a professional colorist just someone who has colored my own hair for 40 yrs.

@happytrails699 Please, your skin tone will look tired again in golden hues. If you go lighter, please stay within natural brown tones. Our skin hue changes as we get older (I'm 66...) and gold is not your friend anymore unless you wear make-up to bridge the gap out of necessity. With your darker hair, you get the urge to wear make-up because you're inspired to! It's a big difference when you compare the two reasons... You look stunning!!!

❤STUNNING!❤❤❤ love the rich dark SHINE!! This looks amazing with your skin tone. Don't go blond highlights. Too yellow and not a good contrast with your skin and eyes. What you could do is LOW LIGHTS. A warm brown mixed in with that dark mink color you have. Look on line or other media pics of low light highlights. I've seen some drop dead GORGEOUS low lights on dark hair. It's more natural for you and will complement your skin better than blond. You are so beautiful!❤❤❤

The darker shade really brings out your beautiful eyes. The previous color really made you look dull & washed out but THIS new color is definitely an huge improvement.

My hair is now a "salt & pepper" blend. I used XMONDO Supergloss to help get rid of any brassy undertones & it made my silver streaks so shiny & soft. I love that stuff!

I always say healthy hair makes you look much younger and more vibrant. I grew up super light ash blonde( farrsh fawcett color). By twenties it turned coffee brown and was super healthy looking. I highlighted after a while but noticed it wasn't as thick snd bouncy looking as when it was natural brown. Healthy, fizzy free, thick strands, with rich color and shine always looks more youthful than unhealthy hair. I tend to go darker now because it adds body and bounce, color. Whereas bleach deadens my hair, even with a gloss it's not as strong, vibrant and glamorous looking. I will try this product😊
