D Marie is right about the bleach. To reduce orange the hair was bleached to get the light neutral/ash highlights toward the ear and back. In the front sections a high-lift neutral ash or ash brown could be used, but it would have to be professional grade with double the peroxide (40 0r 50 volume). This is very difficult to achieve in one sitting...even when done by a professional. One way to do it would be to get neutral brown highlights and then go back thru with fine bleach streaks while toning with natural ash to reduce the naturally existing orange. Brunettes with strong hair have to counter the orange by adding ash. I like framesi 8D or 8N and Goldwell 7NA or 8N + 6A over bleach. Ask who did your friends' hair, if you like theirs, or ask someone who has dark thick hair with nice highlights. See if her hairdresser can give you the formula for your hairdresser to try. Be sure to pick out a few more pictures than this one when you go to the salon. Even if you have to show photos of hair you don't like. Tell the hairdresser if you spend most of your time under fluorescent light or outdoors or whichever. Good luck!
Hmm..It seems like a rich chestnut/hazel color. Although I would say it's more brown than anything else.





Hope that helps!

deep caramel.


those aree super pretty btw!!
I am sure they were done with bleach. With a natural hair color that dark, hair color alone is not going to lift that much color. If you are trying to achieve that color, your natural color would determine the method you would want to use. But - to answer your question, I would say a medium warm brown.
umm brown
carmel definatly
