The only hair colors I HAVEN'T used are the "white or yellow" blond, greens, pinks and purples.
Complexion IS the number one consideration.
ROOTS-UGH even painting your hair needs upkeep.
My number one priority is HEALTHY looking hair...nothing worse than a "fried" look. When your hair is silky, color doesn't matter so much. It MUST look touchable!
My BEST moments were as a light brown with streaks of blond
(summer blond

) I am currently close to that color after a short lived revisit to redish hues. As you age, you should soften your shade and for heavens sake, NEVER have flat, solid color. IMO-blond is rather hard to carry off if it doesn't match your complexion.
I asked Hubby about blond preferences and he gave an explanation that I will limit to one word you guys may understand-curiosity.
