Step 1 — make the image

Swap the [bracketed] lines for yours. Leave the rest exactly as it is.

Step 1

YOUR PART — fill in the [bracketed] lines. Leave everything else exactly as it is. MY VIBE: [natural / subtle dimension / bold change] COLORS TO TRY: [pick up to 4 — honey blonde / rich brunette / auburn / cool ash / balayage — or "surprise me with 4 that suit my undertone"] ——— Here's my photo. You're an expert colorist with an eye for what flatters. Give me a verdict with personality: the color that best suits my undertone as the hero, and why. Then create ONE post-worthy color lookbook (portrait, 4:5): my best color shown larger as the hero, plus 3 more from COLORS TO TRY, leaning into MY VIBE. Keep my face, features, and current haircut exactly the same, change only the color. Label each. Screenshot-ready.
