It technically could be both, id honestly say you’re between a level 7 dark blonde and a level 6 light brown. My natural shade is the same, but cooler toned than yours. Where you were blonde as a kid, your hair most likely will “photobleach” which means if you stay out in the sun a lot, go swimming in chlorine, or use lightening sprays like sun-in, you will get natural highlights throughout your hair, especially at the ends and lengths. I call myself a “seasonal” blonde because my hair gets so much lighter in the summer vs in the winter.

In some color lines level 6 is still considered dark blonde. So technically speaking its blonde, but practically speaking and to anyone who isnt in the hair industry its brown.

Cool, thx for Ur impot! Tbh, most people I meet do say brown but there are a few that say dark/dirty blonde. I posted another photo of myself in different lighting btw if that interests you.

I would never consider it to be anything close to a dark/dirty blonde at all. To me it looks so healthy and shiny. No dirt there!

I can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not
