Welcome to our Hair Consultations column. To request an online hair consultation, follow the instructions here.
Q: Hi Bill, I'm looking for a change with my hair colour, but I'm not sure whether to go lighter or darker, and do all-over dye or highlights/lowlights.
I'm looking for a colour that will complement my skin tone, not wash it out. I have blue-green eyes and black eyebrows. My hair is medium-length and thick. I want it to look as natural as possible, but still be a change. Any help would be great! Thank you for your time. — Abby
A: Hello, Abby. If this is your natural colour—WOW!

This is in the same tonal family of colour, only a little darker, and would also suit you:
This could be an all-over temporary rinse, or darken the roots and leave the ends lighter.
This is a "matchy-matchy" look where the eyebrow colour and the hair colour match:
I feel this is a beautiful look, to focus on such a lovely eye colour.
Both of these tones of hair colour would be flattering, with these eyebrow shapes as well.
