I want to have some highlights. What are the appropriate for my hair's color?

Question

My hair is dark brown. I would like highlights that will not be very striking. What would you suggest?

Answer 1

Red or Caramel.

NO Blond. Unless you want to take up a new skunk look.


This girl Malanie got Blond highlights and well she looks like a penguin and a skunk.

It's stupid but people call her a skunk-win. :D

It's rather mean.

Answer 2

Caramel highlights. If you want to go a little farther, add a few dark blonde highlights in the front, along with the caramel. Good luck! :)

Answer 3

Try bronze highlights or find your ideal highlight color with following the link below

Answer 4

Red or honey/caramel highlights. I have dark brown/black hair too. If you go for ones that are too light they might not look good so be careful. Go for something that compliments your skin tone.

Answer 5

umm how about a dark red that way it can be seen but not obvious or a bronzed brown perfect if you wanted blonde highlights but not the obvious blond you know??

Answer 6

maybe light brown highlights

Answer 7

golden/honey blonde? but make the highlights very very thin and have quite alot of them put in. this will make sure you dont get that horrible massive stripey look!

Answer 8

sooo ask for a sample if u want...good luck!

Answer 9
