I had honey blondish colored hair as a kid up till i was 6 and it started getting darker and darker to what it is now. I'm about a level 4 or 5. I've always thought about going lighter to see how it would look now and to have a dramatic change but idk if it would look good and more so is it worth all the damage and upkeep a lighter color requires? im thinking of going to a level 7 nothing TOO blonde... what do you think? should i stick with my natural?

I think that you would look pretty lighter but I also think that with how dark your hair is that it would be a really big pain to keep up with, and it would probably require a lot of color to get it the way you desire, but if you are willing to keep up with it, then I think you should go for it!

Yeah, it always bugs me when girls have 2 inches of black on their head from their color growing back in, I wanna tell them if they are gonna do it, they need to stay on top of it so they don't look like skunks.. but of course I don't!

Kind of dirty blonde would look cool for the natural look
