What's wrong with looking natural? if "everybody" has high lights where you live then you will standout in a good way because you are not copying everyone. As for the boyfriend if doing something to your hair is the only way to keep him then he's not worth keeping.

Glossy Dark Brown Hair, in cood condition, with a good cut, looks fab and no way dull. Get a shine spray to finnish it off. But, if you want highlights, like everyone else (isnt that dull, everyone the same) try a few copper highlights for a change.

Dun worry too much, like you said everyone in your town has highlights.
Well, then you would be the special one where you must be outstanding now not like everyone and have highlights like its a set of uniform.
I'm sure your bf not only look for your appearance, but your personality too. Dun worry too much. Think positive and be happy. Enjoy every moment of it. :)
If you think your hair look dull, try to do smth different with it each time. Rather than highlighting your hair and damage your natural hair. You can just change your hairstyle for a new fresh look.
Best of luck and I hope the above help. Take care :)

I think you have a few choices, depending on your style. Are you looking for "really different", or a more subtle change? If subtle, I would try a glosser. You can go to a salon, but I think they have a few now in regular stores. You can also try a semi perminant dye, one without peroxide or other chemicals, that you can sort of play with, without all the damage of a regular dye.
You can also do subtle highlights at a salon I would suggest, maybe only a few on top. Have you thought of red? Depending on your color (skin) and eyes, red is really coming back in quickly... You can be the first. It also is a very sexy look, and maybe you wouldn't look the same as the rest of the crowd. You can do subtle on the red, maybe an auburn, or if you want more dramatic, go into the real reds. It all depends on you. I hope the suggestions help, and I commend you for wanting to not be "one of the crowd"....
Individuals are much more sexy and saught after. Just ask a guy... :)
P.S. Regarding keeping your boyfriend, if you have to look for ways to "keep" him, from other girls, you probably don't need him. You sound too smart to be in that catagory....
Good luck to you...

The question isnt whether or not the rest of the town has highlights but if YOU want highlights. Dont let others influence your decision. Its YOUR hair on YOUR head. Do what you want! Oh and if the only way to keep your boyfriend is to do what everyone else is doing, especially something as superficial as highlighting your hair, you might want to re-evaluate who your dating.

Honey, first of all if you're trying to keep your boyfriend with a new hairdo maybe you should find a new boyfriend!
But about the hair, I have dark dark brown hair thats very curly and I got red highlights put in my hair which I love. It picks up the light, but they don't turn brassy like everyone elses. Good luck.

Be happy in the fact that you don't need highlights to look good. Start being more secure in your own looks and it will show through good. Your boyfriend shouldn't care what color hair you have. If he wants you to go get the blond highlights then dump him for being superficial.

If you want to dye your hair the thing to do is choose a color no more than two shades lighter or darker that yours- it will always suit you. That way your skin and everything won't totally clash with your new hair. Choose it carefully because the wrong one can make you look worse than you may think you already do.
If you want highlights (lighter streaks in the hiar) or lowlights (darker streaks) you can go up to four shades different with no consequences.
There are also different things you can do for different coloring types (like how long they last, etc...)

Hi,
You could highlight ,but only slightly. Or add some red highlights.Also glazing is hot right now. It adds lots of shine which would be nice on dark brown hair.Look in fashion mags,for idea's other than highlights. Good luck.

You can always use that new loreal colour that matches up with your natural hair colour. For something different you can always add some red highlights just around the face area. I've done this before and it looked awesome.
