So I've bleached my tips blonde before and currently have (fading) blue tips.

Now I'm trying to figure out what color I want next. I really want to do either forest green tips

Forest Green roots and blonde tips (couldn't find a pic)

Or pink tips

(Don't know which shade of pink I want yet)

I want to do this around April-May after most of the blue has grown out so I have plenty of time, just need to hear some opinions other than my mom and friends :patrice:

I'm not a lady but I have fashion sense or so women told me.

I've seen your picture, and I'm not throwing shade at all. Give your dark skin tone, I personally would go with a more darker color than some of these pictures. Maybe something like a dark purple, maroon, and colors along that line. Also have to make sure you color coordinate your clothing that matches your hair and skin tone so you can avoid clashing. My personal opinion for example, I think the pink one at the bottom looks too washed out and faded and doesn't match your skin. The middle one is closer to what I think would work :yeshrug:

I've had blonde before though, so lighter colors don't necessarily look bad on my skin tone. Plus the colors will just be my tips, not my whole head (unless I go the green roots/blonde tips route).

But I can see the darker pink looking well, plus I wear a lot of neutral colors and red so I don't think my outfits would look horrible with any of the colors.

Nobody has time to match their clothes with their skin color
I do, at the clothing store when I buy the clothes. Of course you don't have time when you're heading out the house in the morning but if you take the shortcut and find out what looks good against your other features at the store, that issue is taken care of already when you throw it on in the morning.

For example, I'm a light skin tone and have slim features. I noticed with dress shirts for example, that deep blues, maroons, blacks, and things of that nature match nicely with my features. :manny: Also goes good with my dark brimmed glasses.

Definitely the darker pink.
:scust:

Post your pic because if you look as busted as I think you do it won't matter
you're a jerk

My input? I don't like wild colors for your hair... that's just me... I'm a plain Jane...

The wildest I would get would be a honey brown color... or mahogony/maroon (at the most)

something subtle...
The wildest I went was blonde, I tried blue but it didn't show up at all.
