What color highlight/lowlights do you think I should get?

I'm actually pretty happy with my current (natural) color at the moment, but I feel like just that one color alone looks a little flat, so I'm considering highlights or lowlights. I'm not sure if I want blonde, auburn, lighter or darker brown or what. I've had blonde highlights before, but those were too blonde.





I don't want anything really noticeable, just a subtle change.





Here's one photo with my current hair color. There are several other photos in my profile. The last link there is probably more accurate than some of the others.

In the end, I'll go by my own judgement, but I just want to see what complete strangers think since they have a more objective view.What color highlight/lowlights do you think I should get?
Your hair IS pretty as is and once you start with highlights or color, it needs maintenance and each time you get it retouched, if it's lighter, it gets lighter and lighter at the ends. If you must, ask your hairdresser to add subtle highlights that look like your hair was kissed by the sun. Like you get naturally when you're in the sun a lot. I wouldn't go darker or red.What color highlight/lowlights do you think I should get?
i think maybe subtly darker color, like nice dark brown thin streaks of color





like these but thinner and color vise versa

or these

I think that adding 'both' highlights and lowlights would look really amazing. I believe that if you want a subtle look then you should never go more that two shades darker or lighter.
I say go with some auburn highlights just to break up your brown a little bit and maybe a few strawberry blonde to lighten it a little...thats my 2 cents
i would say caramel highlights!!! the look natural and sooooo sexy!
Your hair is too dark for lowlights, unless you want dark brown/black streaks.





The reason the old highlights looked too blonde is because you have cool tones. Try going for more of an ash blonde for highlights instead. Because your hair is already a light ash brown, it would only make sense to continue the ash hues unless you want several colors in your hair.

A cooler red might be stunning you have a beautiful porcelian skintone.
none, don't mess with perfection. You already look great. Buy new make up instead. Sometimes new colors will give your look a lift.
I'd say go for auburn highlights. Too many brunettes are dying their hair blond nowadays.
OK i looked on your about me thing and your five other links of pictures and you are so pretty totally gorgeous and your hair is very pretty. if you really want to put highlights go for golden highlights they will add a little touch to your hair very subtle. but remember that highlights will damage your hair it might really make it dry and less shiny. i wouldn't mess with your hair. its very pretty as it is and putting some subtle highlights in isn't worth it but if you really want to golden is the way to go and don't put any low-lights in.


hope this helps good luck


ps don't get it professionally done get a friend to do it for you or do it your self

  • What would be a good highlight color for my hair? [pics]?

    I'm thirteen and have black hair and I was wondering what would be a good highlight color for my hair?


    What's the estimate cost if I want to get it done at a salon?


    http://i38.tinypic.com/2j34i3b.jpg


    My hair looks oily because I just washed it, and that's almost the best picture I could find.


    Sorry.What would be a good highlight color for my hair? [pics]?
    i would have to say a chocolate (dark kinda) brown with blonde streaks. i would guess it would depends were you get it done. some between $40-$80. i am not really sure my mom pays like $40 for touch ups at the roots and a few streaks (but she also gets a hair cut when she gets touch ups) yeah well i hoped i helped.What would be a good highlight color for my hair? [pics]?
    I've always liked the burgandy colored chunks in darker hair like yours. Because sometimes when you go to lighten hair that dark it turns a not-so-nice shade of orange! And the contrast of bleached out blonde %26amp; black hair can sometimes looks just plain trashy! So I'd stick to the burgandy. But, that's just my opinion!! Hope it helps!!
    i would get a caramel color, it will look natural and good with your skin.





    at my salon its 60 but my friend gets hers done for only 40





    GOOD LUCK





    btw ask your stylist what will look best. they know and its thier job!
    i would get a light brown and its about $100-$150 to get it done @ a salon i payed $105 to bleach my highlights
    $24or 18 dollers and red would go good
    light brown or maybe a darkish brown. Probably about 45-60 dollars
    probably about 60-80 $


    and a bronze would look nice=)
    Light brown
    BLONDE

    What color should I highlight my hair?

    I have fair skin with some freckles and a kind of dark, but also honey blonde hair. I want to get platnium blonde highlights, but will I look too washed out?What color should I highlight my hair?
    get light brown highlights... TRUST me... it will work!What color should I highlight my hair?
    Leave It Stop Poluting the Waters %26amp; the Envioment.
    Platinum looks really fake unless you already have really light hair. Go with something darker.
    get a shade just a little darker than platinum blonde and a tad lighter than honey blonde

    I have golden blonde hair what color should I highlight it?

    I've always wanted to do something to my hair,and I have a couple times.The first time I got dark red tips((those where cut off.))The second time I tried to have a family member put bleach blonde highlights in my hair but that turned out to make streaks more golden.And the streaks where sloppily done so you never saw it.But now thats all gone for the most part and my hair is golden blonde.I did want to get bleach blonde highlights,but now I don't know what I should do.Please post your opinions.I have golden blonde hair what color should I highlight it?
    Bleack blond highlights would be georgous. Just make sure that they are slightly chunky so that you can really see the contrast between the two colors.I have golden blonde hair what color should I highlight it?
    When you are blessed with beautiful golden blonde hair, why do anything to it at all? Guys do not like when girls mess with their natural hair color! Only other girls really notice things like that. It's the same with make-up. guys do not like make-up! We want to see your natural beauty, as God intended you to look.
    Leave it alone......or go to a professional.
    Copper highlights or a warm red, not too flaming.





    My girl put in copper highlights and looked FABULOUS! Can't wait for her to do it again.
    I suggest blonde too but a lighter or darker tone than ur hair.like Reese witherspoon in legally blonde movie
    maybe go with a light ash brown for streaks.. that would be cute.
    I would suggest auburn red.......
    i think u should just leave it natural for once! =]


    but it u do want highlights--- make it something that looks more natural then bright red or blue


    go with a brown


    lighter would probably look better





    i dont know. its up to u! what do u want?
    red
    Golden blonde hair is gorgeous but try to put... you know those white-blonde streaks.. maybe they'll soften your hair color...
    really really really bright blue, it will look fab!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Book a free consultation with a colorist and see what they suggest. Look at pictures together if that helps. They will tell you at that time how long it will take to do, what the maintenance is and of course the price.

    lighten your brown and add blonde highlightsI have dark brown hair; nowadays I thinking to change the color or highlight it, what鈥檚 the best color?
    try a copper with blonde highlights
    Even though I is overly used.. I still reckon Blonde always contrast great with brown hair.. try some blonde foils and see what u think ;-)
    Marhaba! i think u should dye it a light chocolate or moca color and add some caramel highlights or reddish highlights, or if u like the sunkissed look jessica albas hair color is really preety or like eva longorias and make sure u go to a salon they will give u the right color and look you want like nancy ajrams hair her hair is cute heres some hair color pics i think would look nice
    Well I Have Red And Light Brown And Dark Brown And Orange Hair Its All Natural And I Live In Texas So It's Really Hot Here And I Go Swimming All The Time And I F You Get You Hair Colored Or Highlights Done The Water Wont Hurt It. If I Were You I Would Dye Your Hair A Burnette
    Well i was gonna say with it been winter,add some auburn highlights! lol!,but seems your were the sun is hun,go all out and have afew blonde highlights
    i would try mesh


    ask your hair dresser for two tone mesh its really cool the way they weave your hair with the colours look it up if your not sure what it is .


    Dont go black i have and love it but i am stuck this way its too hard to get out : (





    hope i helped
    it's hard to know exactly without seeing your face shape and lifestyle. first of all, make sure you get it done professionally. box color in the grocery store is no good. your licensed professional with help you choose the right color for you. a lot of times with natural brunettes, it's best to stay in the brunette family... in my opinion. so maybe go for a lighter shade of brown with maybe a hint of red.
    It depends, if you swim in chlorine, it may affect highlights (so people say) but for me it hasn't. But my suggestion is to go highlights because they're hot. But if you think your hair is too dark and it wont blend in, maybe color + highlights will do. I find highlights blends in the hair and gives a hottness. Oh, and if you like your hair curly, it's nice to have medium brown color.
    i am a hairdresser and i think your best option is to go to a salon and ask for a mix of these highlights; one light brown one caramel and one blonde all mixed together will look fab, dont worry about the pool it shud only effect you if u have bright blonde hair and even at that it only effects somr people. because you are in the sun make sure to use plenty of condishioner as the highlights will dry your hair up a little, also try putting treatments in now and again. DO NOT try and do this yourself i promise you it wont turn out good if u do!!!

    What color should I highlight my long, medium-brown hair?

    As of yet I'm not absolutely sure if I want to get highlights; but if I do, I want it to be an interesting color like purple or red. What color would look good?What color should I highlight my long, medium-brown hair?
    i think purple because i've seen people with brown hair and purple streaks and it looks awesome. definitely purple.





    .%26lt;3.What color should I highlight my long, medium-brown hair?
    well i had pink in my hair and it is the same colour as yours and it looked good so i think either pink or purple. :)
    From your discription, i have the same kind of hair as you. I have had a blue/green colour in my hair and then a pinkish/purple. Personally, i liked the blue and think it would look best in your hair.
    probably purple.. but make sure the colour is either really subtle or if not...





    make sure the hair highlighted is very little





    like the streaks to be really thin..





    then it would just give a tint. i think that looks awesome...
    Defiantly purple. I think it would look good with your hair color. Red looks good on black or dark brown haired people. Purple would look awesome.

    How many of you people out there, color and or highlight you hair at the salon or at home?

    I highlighted, and then tinted my sisters hair hot pink, came out real good!How many of you people out there, color and or highlight you hair at the salon or at home?
    i do mine myself at home!How many of you people out there, color and or highlight you hair at the salon or at home?
    I have an easy hair color (black, so i definitely do it at home, it's hard to match hair extensions of any other color
    salon. i learned the hard way after trying to save money and doing it at home. from now on, only a hairdresser for me.
    i have mine done at a professional salon
    ALWAYS DONE MY HAIRCOLOR AT HOME. AND NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS. I VE SAVED HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS DOING IT MYSELF. PROFESSIONALLS CHARGE WAY TO MUCH MONEY. BUT I UNDERSTAND YOUR PAYING FOR THE BOOTH SPACE AND THE PRODUCTS AND THE TIME AND LABOR.
    I do, but it is black!!
    at home, either me or a friend do each others hair ... we used a toothbrush to put random highlights in our hair the other day, looks awsome , everyone asks what salon did we go to..lmao
    I color my hair at home. It costs a fraction of what a salon would charge and I like the color better than what they use. I don't think I'd go for hot pink though.
    i do
    I do mine at home my self. the last time i went to the salon and had it done. I went in wanting one color which was a golden blonde with red highlightsd and i came out with Dark Brown hair. I mean dark brown. I had to color strip it and fix it. still cant get rid of the brown.
    oh me. I cover gray, highlight and do it about once a month. AT HOME.
    That's really cool!!!! I highlight my hair but my friend does it cuz she has a salon in her garage.
    I color my hair at home and have been doing it since a hair sylist messed up my hair a few yrs. ago. It's cheaper and I enjoy doing it.
    that is so awesome. my cousin just did that to her hair.


    i highlight my hair all the time. its really bad but i get sick of a color every few months so i go change it. lol
    i get my hair coloured at gene juarez


    just because they always have made my hair look amazing


    i mean...ya its expensive


    but if thats what i've got to pay


    i'll pay it


    and for you colouring your sisters hair pink


    i think its good that people experiment with colour


    i just got my hair dyed red


    and it looks sooo good


    use semi-permenint colour if your experimenting


    because im pretty sure i wouldnt want my hair tinted pink forever
    i preffer natural hair, no chemicals no strange cuts,just me
    well, my answer is that; I'm a beauty-school drop-out. I do believe that I have been every color of the rainbow, except, I haven't tried black yet. I have even been roxy-red, which ended up looking like, barney, purple..And now I'm trying not to let the gray, overrule my head..
