It doesn't look bad at all!

In three to four weeks your hair will lose a good bit of it's depth. It will continue from there. If you don't do something to protect color it will fade away.

Don't worry though, it looks nice.

In all honesty, I like the color. I wish my hair had turned that color when I dyed it brunette. Instead, my hair turned out to be a puke brown. LOL! I agree with the other girls, it will fade a little bit.

Lol I think that looks so beautiful!! Not a disaster at all. Totally makes your eyes pop. I think trying new makeup and filling your brows a little will pleasantly surrprise you lol. My mom dyes her hair pitch black regularly, she uses just regular shampoos and all, and within a couple weeks it fades to a chocolately brown on her. Im pretty sure thats what will happen with your color too. Anyways I love it. I think you were just shocked to see it lol. Ive gone through a very similiar situation, I dyed my hair underneath bright red, I mean BRIGHT RED like neon red. Lol was I shocked to see it.

I have found in the past when my hair turned out darker it does fade after a few washes. I think the color really brings out your blue eyes and agree experimenting with different makeup colors is a good idea to help you ease into it.

You still look very beautiful, I do however really like blond on you

Awww thanks girls

It's faded a little bit, and in certain lights it's got a red hue to it. I think soon it'll be the colour I initially wanted. I've adjusted to it, it took awhile, but I'm there. I took your advice, filled in my brows and I've been wearing some blues/green shadows when I've been going out, I've had a lot of compliments, especially from guys

So there's a plus lol

With darker hair I find you do have a lot more options make up wise, I guess I had forgotten because I have been a blonde for so many years, it's been quite awhile since I had brown hair. The only major problem I have, is I wear a lot of black clothing normally, so I've been having to wear more colour to avoid looking "goth" I don't have a problem with the goth look, it's just not for me

I don't think it looks bad. It will fade and it should make you more comfortable with it. I LOVE my hair like really dark. I don't like it black but a really really dark brown. I get more compliments on my hair being dark then my normal brown color. I have a fairer skin also, so I sometimes am scared I will look washed out. You should just work it girl. You may find out that you prefer darker hair after it grows on ya. I think you will be fine. I do understand the shock of it all though. Its easy to not like a new hair style, color, etc at first before you get used to them. Obviously you're doin something right cause the guys are noticing you!! WORK IT GIRL!!
