I'd describe your hair as dark blonde. I can see a little bit of red undertones. DH and his siblings looked a lot like you and your bro when they were kids - very blonde! His hair has also gotten darker with age. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dark-blond-vs-light-brown#post-1111892 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 03:49:56 +0000 Anagram 1111892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: I agree!!</p> <p>I still consider myself dark blonde, even tho my hair is definitely light brown in indoor light at this point....it seems to get darker every year and I don't dye my hair. But since its always been blonde, I can't let go of the idea that I'm blonde I guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dark-blond-vs-light-brown#post-1111872 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 02:43:13 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1111872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HabesBabe: DD isn't very fair, she has a little color on her, so I'm surprised that her hair is getting lighter and not darker. I still think it's brown, but I can see that it's the same color as DH's old passport that says blonde and it's lighter than the color of his hair now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dark-blond-vs-light-brown#post-1111717 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 21:34:51 +0000 Boopers 1111717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: exactly what I was thinking! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dark-blond-vs-light-brown#post-1111715 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 21:34:20 +0000 MsLipGloss 1111715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>To me, 1 and 3 (Taylor and Behati) are dark blonde (especially Behati . . . Taylor barely squeeks by), and 2 and 4 are light brown. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dark-blond-vs-light-brown#post-1111709 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 21:29:58 +0000 MrsSCB 1111709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes I think it depends on perspective. Like I have super dark hair and I've noticed that I tend to think of certain colors as blonde that others would call light brown. If that makes sense, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dark-blond-vs-light-brown#post-1111704 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 21:27:18 +0000 mrs. 64 1111704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I consider mine dark blonde, but it is lighter than the Taylor Swift pick above. The others are definitely light brown. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dark-blond-vs-light-brown#post-1111348 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 18:17:41 +0000 HabesBabe 1111348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SugarplumsMom: LO is half Viet/half white, and the hubs' side of the family calls it dirty blonde. My side of the family calls it light brown. Our friends call it both... so it's about 50/50. LOL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dark-blond-vs-light-brown#post-1111258 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 17:43:12 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1111258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: @MediaNaranja: @MrsKoala: According to Allure magazine: </p> <p><i>Your mom may have called it "dishwater blonde," but Taylor Swift's dark blonde, almost brown shade is now the most coveted among Vo's clients. "I call it Victoria's Secret color. It's the most natural and the hardest to get".</i><br /> <a href="http://www.allure.com/hair-ideas/2012/the-most-beautiful-hair-color-ideas-for-blondes?slide=2#slide=9" rel="nofollow">http://www.allure.com/hair-ideas/2012/the-most-beautiful-hair-color-ideas-for-blondes?slide=2#slide=9</a></p> <p>@HabesBabe: DD has the same hair color as DH. I'm curious to see how people will describe her hair color, especially since she's mixed Asian. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dark-blond-vs-light-brown#post-1111229 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 17:31:35 +0000 sandy 1111229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I'm describing someone with that hair I will call them "blondish-brown" but I think it's more blonde. When someone describes a person as having brown hair or being brunette I definitely think dark brown/chestnut colored hair </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dark-blond-vs-light-brown#post-1111220 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 17:28:27 +0000 MrsKoala 1111220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is also my natural hair color (until it turned mostly gray, wah). I used to call it the blah between blonde and brown. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dark-blond-vs-light-brown#post-1111196 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 17:21:56 +0000 CakeLady 1111196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was just having this cover saying with DH last night! His hair is in this ambiguous territory, but he says it is dark blonde because he was blonde as a child. </p> <p>Seems like people lean toward what their hair was like when they were younger? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dark-blond-vs-light-brown#post-1111179 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 17:15:18 +0000 MediaNaranja 1111179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, this is my exact hair color and I don't even know how to describe it sometimes! I lean more towards the blonde side mostly because I get some nice highlights from the sun, and because I was a really blonde kid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dark-blond-vs-light-brown#post-1111176 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 17:14:13 +0000 HabesBabe 1111176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't get it, either! The hubs and LO have the same hair color, which I call "light brown." HE claims that they have "dirty blonde" hair. I honestly cannot tell a difference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dark-blond-vs-light-brown#post-1111162 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 17:08:27 +0000 Running Elley 1111162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SugarplumsMom: I say dark blonde. My license says blonde. I only say that because my hair used to be light blonde and its just darkened as I've gotten older. Most days I feel like its more brown though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dark-blond-vs-light-brown#post-1111157 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 17:06:47 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1111157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: do you refer to yourself as a blonde or a brunette? DH's hair is an ash brown, but in his old passports as a kid (with the same hair color it is now) it's written down as blonde. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dark-blond-vs-light-brown#post-1111132 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 16:58:24 +0000 Running Elley 1111132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is my hair color and I don't get it either. At all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dark-blond-vs-light-brown#post-1111130 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 16:57:43 +0000 LindsayInNY 1111130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe it has to do with the undertones? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dark-blond-vs-light-brown#post-1111126 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 16:56:56 +0000 MaisyMay 1111126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Perhaps the base color is lighter for blonde? To be honest, I think they're pretty much the same thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dark-blond-vs-light-brown#post-1111099 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 16:47:24 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1111099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can somebody please tell me the difference between dark blonde hair and light brown hair. They look the same to me. I tried Googling pictures and all of it just looks brown to me! Is it just arbitrary?</p> <p>Here's examples of dark <b>blonde</b>:<br /> [attach=1448/13/mtpb70.420x560.image.jpg]<br /> [attach=1448/13/mtpbwl.399x600.image.jpg]</p> <p>Here's what I got for light <b>brown</b>:<br /> [attach=1448/13/mtpb71.199x254.image.jpg]<br /> [attach=1448/13/mtpbgw.449x600.image.jpg] </p>
