@melahnee wait your hair was chocolate brown before? was that your natural color or was it lifted?

That IS funny!!! Meanwhile, my friend prefers blonde to my dark hair... Give him time, he may come around! I think when you wear it confidently, he will realize he prefers blonde

I was referring to the second (before the highlights) pic when I meant chocolate brown, but actually my hair has been chocolatier than that. My most natural-est hair is like the first pic attached. Not black, not that brown.
How chocolate exactly are you talking? I've had several different shades in my hair, but I kind of considered the OP to be pretty chocolatey imo. There were times I kept dying it more than once until I was finally happy with it (before lhcf of course )
Last I got this dramatic with my hair and all these pics I'm posting are from when I was 17/18/19. I just look the same for the most part.

It looks sort of black in the OP but in these pics it looks reddish to me. I think lighter hair actually suits you better than darker. You're so pretty btw!

I want a chocolate brown with no red in it but idk if thats' possible on my hair and in the condition my hair is now I wouldn't dare try it.
My natural color is also between brown and black...

My dad is the only one so far who does not like it. I went to their house yesterday and he said natural is always better but do what makes you happy. Lol, whatever dad

OP, blonde looks good on you!

I saw someone recommended the Mill Creek Jojoba conditioner and wanted to tell you that I found several of the Mill Creek conditioners at TJ Maxx for $5/bottle. You may want to swing by to see if you can find a bottle.

I highlighted my hair back in 1994 ('90s style!) and my dad almost had a heart attack when he saw me; my mother was just worried my hair was going to be damaged. Its a father thing!

Your hair looks great - I love the color on you!
