Brunettes or blondes that is the question and we've all heard the blonde jokes but ignore those and just go for what's going to suit you the best. If you're thinking of going blonde (or blonder), here's a guide on how to choose from the do it yourself home kits that are widely available.
The first thing to remember if you've never coloured your hair before, is that it's a risky business and we urge that you don't ignore safety features such as the 48 hour patch test and that you follow guidelines on lightening your shade or you may end up with that dodgy orange that people try so hard to avoid.
The second thing to consider is your skin tone, you may absolutely love a haircut and colour on a celebrity or friend but you have to think carefully about whether this would look good on you, in terms of skin tone, face shape and hair type. If you're not sure, your hairdresser will advise and they do tend to know what they're talking about.
