Highlights for Brunnettes? I'd like 2 highlight my hair but dont know which clr. Experiences/tips/etc? please

Question

Any answer would be such a great help. I want to get some nice highlights but im afraid they'll come out wrong. I know a lot of dark haired friends who highlight their hair and the truth is that it's a disaster. Honestly...I've prolly only seen in my lifetime only 10 brunettes who have had the loveliest highlights in my opinion. Does anyone have any experiences with this...any advice...pics...anything?

by the way... i have a soft honey color skin (tan actually)...with dark brown eyes...and (very)dark brown hair

Answer 1

two shades lighter than your base hair color will give wonderful result

Answer 2

Blonde highlights look the best on brunettes. Don't apply too much on each strand. It'll look horrible. Here's a product that I think is great. There is a commercial with Eva Longoria with it. And after she put the highlights on, it looked great. It's called Loreal Paris Hi-Light Styliste. Try the shades, Amber Glaze which is reddish, or Toasted Almond which is Dark Blondish.

Answer 3

Well i know a few different ways. First get it highlighted blond but make sure its pulled through a cap not just chunks. Next U can always bleach the tips and put a funky color on that bleached part like pink or green or w/e u want. Get playful it never really matters i think its just how the person likes it.

I think Caramel would look gorgeous on you - but if you really want to find out what color would look good on you click on the Couleur Experte Hair color link by Loreal.

Answer 5
