Hard to tell with the lighting, but based solely off this picture, I would say medium chocolate brown/brunette, with possible gold undertones.

QQ, did your stylist offer to let you come in for a free consultation prior to your appointment? 

Also something I personally have found helpful - if you can find pics with the lighting you spend the most time in. Salon lighting often doesn't do justice or show your true hair color, especially when you've grown it out from a previous color service 💕

She doesn’t have level 5 hair. Level 5 natural hair is much darker then she has. When you are checked for level of natural hair you should be thinking how much pigment is “under” the color hers would be much closer to yellow then orange which means it would be from the lightest brown to blonde. 5 would have a very orange base. Her hair would also only take one bleaching session with 20-30vol to become level 9-10 (if her hair reacts normal) while a 5 would take 2 or need a much higher developer. The tone could just be differences in screen colors but the level is absolutely not 5.

Looks pretty deep and cool at the base, like a 5

You’re like a natural lvl 7-8 which means blonde definitely warm probably golden maybe strawberry but I can tell with only one picture. Your hair stylist should be able to answer this question better since they’ll see you in real life!

Can someone tell me what my hair color is? Sorry about the dandruff. I’m getting my hair highlighted tomorrow and kept it dirty to help keep it healthy through the process. I can’t tell if I’m red headed, blonde, light brunette! Help!
