Will black hair look good with pink hilights on the tips of the hair?

Question

I want to hilight my hair pink on the very tips
do you think it'll look good? my natural hair colour is BLACKish brownish

How much of the tips should i hilite? What colour would look good, hot pink or light pink? Advice please!!

Answer 1

hahah ewww
black and some bleached parts would look fine :]

Answer 2

It will look AWESOME especially if you use hot pink.

I would highlight about 1 inch. If your hair is layered though, then if you dye just the underneath layer it'll look like the tips are dyed.

First, you will have to bleach the ends. Then buy Punky colour or some other super bright brand and rub it into the ends. You will probably have to do it fairly often.

Do be careful that you don't overdo it though. Bleach is really hard on the hair, especially the ends of your hair. Use leave in conditioner on the tips afterwards. Fortunately, if you fry just the ends you can always get a trim right?

Have fun with that! I'm excited for you. I love dying my hair crazy colours!

Remember to get the hair light enough to be able to put pink on it you will have to bleach it. If you have never coloured your hair before it will lift to a nice yellow orange and then it is ready for some pink. If you have been colouring your hair black then it will lift to a yucky orange color and I really wouldn't do it. Remember also that whenever you are bleaching out dark hair you run the risk of really damaging it. so deep conditioner is a must a lest once a week for a while then go to once a month. Deep condition is different than drug store conditioner. .. Deep condition has smaller molecules that get into the hair shaft and repair damage.... it should be professional products you get at the salon. If you are going to drive your hair like a BMW treat it like one as well. you wouldn't get a BMW and buy cheap gas...

good luck hope this helps

I have the same color hair, and i actually wanted to do that last year. my mom wouldn't let me though. I think hot pink would look great. How about 1-2 inches? I think candy-apple-red also looks awesome when its underneath and on the tips.

Answer 5

just highlight about an inch pink but blond will look good with pink also you can let the halloween spray so it comes out in the shower and if u like it you can get your hair colored instead of wasting money on higlights if they dont look good.

Answer 6

I think it would be cute with hot pink but only do about an inch on the underlayer of hair

Answer 7

whhyy pink??!!! there's a girl in my class that has black hair and pink on the front and when it starts to fade away it's purple or like salmon and it looks horrendous. if that's how you spell that word.

as long as you can pull it off then i guess it would look good...

by pulling it off this is what i mean, and she doesn't even have black hair:

Know your school policy mandating a "natural color, brown, blond, black, natural red/auburn." before dyeing your hair pink, for example: 3-21-12 "Honor Student Banned from School for Pink Hair." a 6th grader who was rewarded for getting good grades. Red hair gets 13-year-old suspended KCTV-5 Posted: Apr 12, 2012 8:13 PM PDT Updated: Apr 13, 2012 4:01 AM PDT Recently from YA HAIR: "I have red tips on my fringe, I got in trouble at school and they want it out by tomorrow." And another: "I dyed it purple. It was supposed to wash out after about a month. Now, many months later, it's still there. And it looks really stupid because it's grown out about three or four inches from my roots. I'm also not suppose dot have it at my job. I've tried dying my hair the same color as my natural hair color but that didn't work." Call the 1-800# found on the box of dye or email them, (to find #, go online & search the brand if you don't have the box) they're the hair color experts they can advice you best. Style meets chemistry meets biology: We're talking hair coloring. Playing with chemicals is not like playing with clothes, or doing a manicure, there are penalties for playing chemicals in the lab. Even hair color experts at the salon are not rocket scientists, they do a bang up dye jobs to their clients or their own hair. Example: "My hair is right about armpit length as it is, but I've severely damaged it by bleaching it all at once. As a student of cosmetology myself, I would have to say that it was probably one of the worst mistakes I could have ever made." Another example: ok i did my hair yesterday i DIDN'T bleach it ,but im not sure what its called but she took the color out of my hair and then dies it a blond color and my head was on fire it killed me so after that i hated my hair color so i colored it my self a darker color, it looked so ugly and it burned me again it rully hrt so after i washed it my mom checked it for me and found small spots of blood all over my top scalp like over 20 of em now im scared and don't know why its there is it from the color am i sick and something is wrong ??
