change is good! go for it! have you ever dyed your hair before? what about the cut? do you plan to do that yourself. you're braver than me - the last time i tried at home color (8 years ago) it was a disaster. be careful! and post pics

As long it's not a spur of the moment emotionally loaded decision, I am all for a change.
Good luck!

Sorry to tell you, but in order to get that color and the color to be consistent - you should go to a colorist. It doesn't look like much, but to go from very dark to a light brown takes skill and chemicals. A box set will not give you that color.
If you can't afford it, wait.

Why when I read the thread title I thought you were saying that since you were dying, you would be cutting your hair? lol
Anyway, I did just that back in December. I cut my hair from MBL to a little above SL and dyed it jet black. My hair was always black but not jet black. I feel so much better with shorter hair and I don't regret my decision at all! People in the salon kept trying to convince me not to do it, but I had my mind made up.

I personally would not dye my own hair, especially if I was going lighter.
I'd wait until I could afford a very good colorist that know what to do with my texture of hair.
I hope it works for you but plan to do some extra conditioning to prevent breakage and dryness as well as products for color treated hair since many dye jobs turn more orange or brassy over time.

What about the color or highlights, plus nice layers? Or maybe a really fierce wig? Or whatever would shake up your routine... wear it straight for a while or check out youtube and try some new styles.
I find when I feel antsy and in urgent need to change my hair, it's just because I'm stressed about something else in my life. I've had bad bangs, gone back to relaxing only to start transitioning again immediately (a few times)...
All in all it's only hair and if you're sure then go for it. You know we're going to want lots of pics!! lol

How did you create the pictures that show the color change? Did you use a website?

Remember when Jada Pinkett's hair matched her complexion in nutty professor? You don't want to go there lol the original darker color brings out that skin tone if it is you or your complexion.

Dooooooooooooooooooo itttttttttttt. I think box dye gets a bad rap. Follow the directions, do a strand test first, and have fun. A colorist, like any hairstylist, can still jack up your hair. And it's cheaper.
Personally, I think when you stick with dyes geared to women of color, they're better at predicting what it would look like on dark black hair.
Having said that, it's not necessarily a bad idea to try a wig first to make sure the color will work on you. Sometimes you just don't know until it's on you.
