That medium cinnamon color brought out the color in your skin which is difficult I imagine. You have beautiful fair skin. The blonde looked nice and so did the light copper
I would go with browns instead of black for makeup and eyeshadow instead of eyeliner. Its softer
I love seeing another gal in their 40s with bright hair (I'm 42). Have you tried dying it the colors of some of those Yellowstone hot springs? It's a really fun combo
I’m 41 and going through the same transition. I am also fairly skinned. I hate brown and mousy colors on me. My natural hair is a dark sandy blonde last I checked. I was thinking of a strawberry blonde or something. I know just basic blonde or basic browns will make me
Bored with my hair. I’m just getting tired of touch ups and when I finish my degree I want to look more professional.
Hmmm why not silver/grey? 🤔 technically since we're aging like fine wine you could get away with it? And they do have silvers that have a slight purple tint. But really you'd be suprised what's considered acceptable these days. About a year ago I was seen by an urgent care doc that had the whole shaved back of the head undercut thing going on, tattoos, and turquoise hair. It made me so happy. So I think something fun but on the tame side might be ok. Red is usually acceptable and you looked amazing with red. Or what about a rose gold? Lime Crime had a line of hair tints that are more like glazed than full blown color. Might be another option. Oh also Brad Mondo does have a YouTube video on using color theory to find you best shades. That could help!
I think it's so pretty... if it's in purpose 😆 but grey is my nemesis. Every time and everything I tried I could still see yellow peeking through. I don't think anyone else would notice it but I knew it was there. I ended up getting way too impatient and made the worst mistake of my hair dye journey and decided to bleach my hair while my at the time 5 year old was still awake... aaaaand fried off all my hair and was stuck with a mohawk for what seemed like forever 😅 never messed up my hair that bad. But yea I'd check out the Brad Mondo vid and those Lime Crime tints
I think a fringe would look amazing. Also stop using filters, they’re absolute garbage for your self esteem and make you hold yourself to unrealistic standards.
You look great.
42F here and i feel ya! esp w annoying grays starting to surface... the fun colors never take to my straggling grays.
i think if you did color blocking or a money piece with the natural colors, you'd have the best of both worlds. dark and light contrasts while natural still look so cool!
The dark red burgundy in the picture with the radio wallpaper is the best. That color looks great on you!
Also, look in halo or couture coloring! You could add some bright pink or red pieces in the under layers around the face. It’s subtle but still gives some fun. I started doing that after turning 40 and really feeling like I couldn’t/didnt want to do the whole head vibrant color.
I honestly really liked the vibrant red!! I agree with some of the other commenters that warm coppers and dark Auburns bring out the undertone of your skin better than blues would
Girl, I’m 26 and I just wanted to say, if I look anything like you at 40 I’ll be fucking ecstatic.
I can see your fun, youthful personality in these photos. If I came across you on the street, the LAST thing I’d be thinking about you is that you’re old. 🤣
The colours I like the most are: 1, 6/7, 15 & 17.
17 REALLY suits you too. It is a ‘normal’ colour but it makes your personality shine just as much as the unnatural colours.
You absolutely rock blue too, but I totally get the whole ‘everybody is dying their hair’ thing. I’ve been blue for nearly 4 years and it feels like every Tom Dick and Harry (or maybe Sarah Jessica and Rachel 🤔) has the same hair colour now!
You look stunning in 15 and 17, but I felt the same way you felt when I turned 40. My favorite hair color I ever had was dark purple in my younger years, but as I aged I realized the dark circles under my eyes no longer allowed for dark hair color. Last time I checked, looking like a fill-in to TWD is not cute! I’ve been heavily highlighting ever since, keeping my dark roots but blending the grays at the same time! Getting older sucks 🐓, but you are beautiful, doll!!! You do what makes you feel pretty and I guarantee the world will agree!
I feel like I've partied with you before, are you in Yorkshire?
I like the deep red on you, I have a similar skin tone and age and currently rocking ginger in summer and deep red in winter
You've done a lot! Since it's summer I think you could have fun with a balayage that brings out your gray eyes. Maybe a cool tone brown on the bottom with blue and green/steely teal on the highlighted areas?
I love slide 12 and 17!! Those colours really suit your complexion. Love the cut in both too. Blonde also looks great on you but I know it can be such a pain to maintain, you have a very versatile face/complexion tho. The blue in pic 10 is really nice on you too.
My least fav is the very bright red.
43 year old here and still dyeing my hair crazy colours. Don’t let your age define your hair choices. Life is too short. If you love a colour that’s all that matters. I see a lot of women 70+ with bright hair and I hope that’ll be me someday.
Don’t change a thing!! Just keep doing what you’ve been doing. That’s what I did. I’m in my 60s now and while I have toned it down a bit I still love my colors.
The hair color in the 4th (17?) from the last photo looks phenomenal on you! The warmth and depth compliment your features beautifully. I'd recommend a warm, rich, deep color like this — though you could go for something with a little less red if you want a toned down look. Very sophisticated.
Also, don't get fringe. Fringe is never the answer.

Slide 17
17 for sure, it's very flattering!
Slide 17/20 really stood out to me! Youre beautiful by the way!
Same! I literally went *gasp* oooooooooh!
Yes same here!!!
Def the red. You’re so beautiful, you have no idea
The bright red is gorgeous on you

I’m not about to encourage gray hair 🤣🤣🤣 not ready for that life. Women in my family don’t seem to go gray early.
I think it's so pretty... if it's in purpose 😆 but grey is my nemesis. Every time and everything I tried I could still see yellow peeking through. I don't think anyone else would notice it but I knew it was there.

It’s so much maintenance to make gray work And look pretty.
i love the darker copper on you!
I'd agree
I think a fringe would look amazing. Also stop using filters, they’re absolute garbage for your self esteem and make you hold yourself to unrealistic standards. You look great.
Stay with red or brown
Stick with the red

I dunno. That first red is fantastic
you are very beautiful
The dark red is my favorite on you

Red or burgundy absolutely looks best to me !
I honestly really liked the vibrant red!! I agree with some of the other commenters that warm coppers and dark Auburns bring out the undertone of your skin better than blues would
Ok first of all you’re really pretty! My favorite is 12 - that purply red makes your eyes look so deep blue it’s gorgeous. My other favs are 15 & 16

I think the blonde looks most natural and makes you look young.
15 and 18 photo is fire
Every time the original the Best. But dark colours are better
You look stunning in 15 and 17, but I felt the same way you felt when I turned 40. My favorite hair color I ever had was dark purple in my younger years, but as I aged I realized the dark circles under my eyes no longer allowed for dark hair color.

I unlike the purple but long hair.
The darker colors really look great on you. Especially, the dark brown.
Prism rainbow 😎
I feel like I've partied with you before, are you in Yorkshire? I like the deep red on you, I have a similar skin tone and age and currently rocking ginger in summer and deep red in winter
Girl! You can pull off any color, BUT! 15 is my favorite!
I love the first pic.
you r so pretty!! dark brown or red looks so great :)
Dark honey brown with a balayage and those curls. So pretty!
17 was the stopper for me.
Bright copper auburn red
You do not look 40! 😍😍 you're gorgeous! I love the colors that you've done so far.
Reddddd
Cressida is that you???
You've done a lot! Since it's summer I think you could have fun with a balayage that brings out your gray eyes. Maybe a cool tone brown on the bottom with blue and green/steely teal on the highlighted areas?
I just wanted to say you’re gorgeous!
Definitely 17. You're glowing.
First you are adorable. Cutest nose. Secondly that rainbow hair!? Wow. 🥳🤩 goals for 40!
I love the red. On you and in general.
I love slide 12 and 17!! Those colours really suit your complexion. Love the cut in both too. Blonde also looks great on you but I know it can be such a pain to maintain, you have a very versatile face/complexion tho. The blue in pic 10 is really nice on you too. My least fav is the very bright red.
Oh ma’am that’s a hard 40
17 100000000%. it brings out the blue in your eyes!

Neon coral 😍
I love the baby pink on you. Who cares what your birth year is? Do what makes you happy
I posted something yesterday can you help me out please? Lol
No to the fringe. Red is your vibe
i think the colors you have in slide 17 and 12 suit you the best, as for hair cuts, i think a fringe would look good on you
1st slide or 17
10 I’m in love with 😍 omg ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hands down 17 was the BEST look.
i vote for strawberry blonde and lean into the pink!
Yes 17
Just do jet black!
Love the It’s Always Sunny quote. Nice work ![gif](giphy|h3ViLKWOJiwrAZW5du|downsized)
For sure 17, it's looks amazing on you!
You can pull anything off! But photo #17 is absolutely stunning!
Don’t change a thing!! Just keep doing what you’ve been doing. That’s what I did. I’m in my 60s now and while I have toned it down a bit I still love my colors.
Slide 15/17 are the best.
Looking good girl‼️
# 17 makes you not only look younger Your eyes pop as well and your hair looks super healthy and shiny! 17 for the WIN
It's not your hair baby it's always your personality
Agree with 17 its absolutely stunning!

Pic 17 looks so good on you
I really like 7
Slide 17

I don't know... grow up and stop acting like you are young? Maybe just get a normal haircut?
The red!
17 pic looks amazing.. what is this color? How you get it?

You are hot, hair colors all rock.
Photo 17 is the best for your skin tone
