I am in the mood for a change too, I think the best thing is to (if you have time) go have a chat to your hairdresser and discuss it with them. some darker foils would look nice I think. and hey you can do black streaks if you want, being a mum of 3 doesnt mean you have to lose your sense of self(or fun) something I have only just learnt! original.gif
i love the colour red
You look like you have fair colouring so I think that black might be a bit severe. Maybe you should go for a gradual change and start with some caramel streaks and if you like that go a little darker next time etc. Have you seen a pic of what you like? That might be a good place to start and you could take it into the hairdresser to see if it is a style they think would work for you.
You will have to post a pic of what you decided to do! There was a lady on here a few months bk who went for a bog change and it was great! I will do a search later on ( too many busy kdis about atm) for the post.

I would avoid really dark colours as you have lovely fair skin. Also, you hair appears to be quite thin, so it may be hard to get a lot of body happening.

Would you like to go shorter? have you thought about a delicate pixie crop? it's only hair, and it will grow back eventually happy.gif Good Luck!

I also think black streaks might be too dark for your fair skin, Maybe some caramel and light brown foils if you want your hair to be a bit darker and to freshen up your look.

I personally think you would look really good with a side fringe (see below pics) and even some choppy layers like some of the pictures would suit as well. You have a very similar shaped face as the girls in these pics so any of them would look good on you.

Best of luck and make sure you post a pic of your new look.

I think black would be a little sereve with your skin colour. Perhaps a brown as PPs have suggested.

I think red shade would look good too but not too dark red

Hi
I think dark colours would not suit you. I could see you with a bob with a fringe of some kind, then dye it to a nice caramel colour. i think that would suit you very much.

I think black is too dark for you.
And, no offense intended, black streaks are a bit tacky.

On you, I think a lovely auburn or amber shade would look divine.
