Thank you all for the replies and suggestions. I have an appointment for a cut tomorrow and will talk talk to my stylist. I'm sure she'll point me in the right direction. So I appreciate the suggestions that I get a professional opinion.
I'm the brown haired one in the family (two blondes, a redhead and me). My true color is light ash brown. Anyway, my blonde sister who let her hair go natural said that her skin looks so much brighter than she'd expected. She said that she never realized how beige she looked. Just what you said, bearisgray.
Thanks again,
Cathy
