Trend Worth Trying: Brunette Hair for Fall

09/05/2006 at 06:00 AM ET

We knew that dark nails were going to be big this fall, but dark hair is sweeping Hollywood; former blondes Britney Spears (left) and Cameron Diaz (right) as well as redhead Lindsay Lohan (middle) have all switched to shades of chocolate brown. PEOPLE magazine’s Beauty Editor Elizabeth Lamonts explains, “the trend is about these celebs saying, ‘Summer is over. I’m ready for something different, darker, more daring.’ It’s about seeing all those great coats and cashmere sweaters in the stores and getting in the mood.” Now, we’ll just have to wait and see who else goes to the dark side this fall. Tell us: Will you go brunette for fall?

I think it’s crazy that people change their hair color because the season has changed or “it’s the new trend” because famous women are doing it or have it. I work at a gym that is for women only and most of my co-workers are followers of the “In Fashion”. I’m the type of girl who buys something because I like it and not because it’s “In”. I understand being current on the 20th century fashion, but why should someone have to change something about themselves because they saw Lindsey Lohan or Paris Hilton do it? I personally would rather be a trend setter. My natural hair color is a brown and ever since I was 12 I have been coloring my hair blonde. I think it matches my skin tone and eye color better, plus I’m a happier person. But lately, keeping up with my roots is getting expensive and taking a toll on my hair. I want to go dark, kind of like a Cherry oak brown, but I’m scared I will regret it after everything is already done or it will look bad. I always say “Stick with what you know”. Should I go Dark or stick with my saying? You can Email me at TakenAngel2103@aol.com… I am open to any and everybodys opinion.

You want to stay brunette if you are of a particular ethnicity also. Latinas (and Hispanic), Italian, and Middle eastern decent women look better with Brunette hair.

I’m Argentinian, Italian, Irish, and Cherokee Indian. So, my dark brunette shade (Black-Brown; Midnight Brown as it used to be called) looks great on me and suits me just fine.

So, get to know a little more of your background before you do anything drastic. Know a little bit more about yourself, before you color your hair or bleach it…Just my 2 cents in…Thanks…
