Remember the last time? (Hair Makeover post here)
The summer sun has effectively "oranged" my hair and I kept putting lowlights and highlights in it. See:
So, I decided to go ALL brown.
Trying to save a buck, I decided to do it myself. I went to Sally's Beauty Supply and had the worker pick me out the perfect color. I wanted to go to my natural color, which is pretty dark. And then the worker recommended that I go one shade darker. That might have been OK, but as my hairdresser later said, my hair is extremely pourous meaning it soaks up color like none other. And I left it in waaaay too long.
It wounded up being BLACK.
I did NOT want black. So, I washed my hair appx 15 times with baking soda and shampoo. Luckily, I had only bought a semi permanent kind so it is continuing to get lighter. This next picture was taken the following day and it had already lightened up some:
I know it's kind of hard to see it. But I like it now. It is continuing to lighten up and become the color I initially wanted. I'm sure I'll add highlights again soon, but this is a nice change. However, please don't anybody ever let me dye my hair myself again!

I like it, actually. Doesn't look too dark to me, even at the beginning. But I'm not there in person. Your opinion is what matters. :)
and I just read your post about the 'clingy' gal. Hope that has improved a ton!
I think it looks cute! It doesn't look black to me even in the first "darker" picture. I am going to let you do it yourself again, sorry. :)
Don't feel bad! I did that exact same thing too. It's still really dark. (Mine was the next to darkest shade...right before black).
One week before a wedding to cover my grays.
Nice huh?
I like it. I am doing my hair darker next month too.
I think your hair is beautiful!
Your daughter is a cute too!
I've had (and still have somewhat)clingy kids and it's a challenge trying to figure out what they need. A lot of times it is just the simple stuff that makes everything a bit better. I can't even say how many times my kid has been grumpy and then later I realize they are hungery!
You sound like you are a great momma with good kids.
I didn't realize it was that light.
Looks great!
