Should I get Platinum Blonde Highlights on my black hair?

Question

I'm really thinking of getting a lot of platinum blonde (almost white) highlights on my black hair. This is how I look like: http://i14.tinypic.com/53rwegx.jpg

I really like this girl's hair:

Please help. I'm looking for a different look. Something that'll look pretty on me. Also I'm planning on getting grey contacts or green =]

Answer 1

you look asian, so if you are just letting you know asian hair tends to bleach out orange. if you're doing this yourself you should DEFINATELY get it done profressionaly, since asian hair is nearly impossible to bleach out to white. i really think you should go for a red and a more golden blonde. the third picture was my favorite, the one at the bottom. but blonde alone tends to look unnatural against black hair.

Answer 2

I think that you should leave your black. I don't really like the black hair with blond highlights. But if you should choose I would say the 3rd picture. The other two are hard to see.

Answer 3

I think it's kind of a rocker-chick style. And I think on you, it might just overwhelm you, if you know what I mean. Like, the first thing people will notice when they see you will probably be your hair, and some people will probably think it's cool and others will think it's ugly. I like personally, but it depends on whether you want to stand out that much. I think if you want a more subtle, traditionally-pretty style you should go with reddish/auburn highlights in your hair instead.

Answer 4

Definately not platinum blonde on black. It makes you look like a Zebra.

Answer 5

I took a look at your picture, you have beautiful, shiny black hair; why would you want to mess with it? I've seen the girls with blonde-streaked black hair; it looks wierd, very un-natural, and, in most cases, not particularly attractive. It gives the appearance that somebody is desperate for attention, like tattoos and body piercings. Either grey or green eyes would look sexy with black hair!

Answer 6

I think you look good with your normal hair, but if you want a different look maybe get some highlights that are more suddle. I think green contacts would look great though =]

Answer 7

when i first read your question, i thought omg no! but those pics don't look to bad. i say go for it! but i would suggest NOT USING BLEACH. i tried for blonde highlights in my black hair, and the bleach turned it grey (it was ugly). i also wouldn't go for platnum blonde, maybe a honey blonde like in the 3rd pic

Answer 8

Egh, neither. If you were going to get highlights I'd go for maybe an auburn, or simply none.
And yes, going that light will kill your hair.

Answer 9

you no what i actually think you might be able to pull it off, it wil be more of an intense harsh look, but you could make it look pretty. i would just recommend to get it professionally done so the highlights are placed in the right spots and so they are not too dramatic! good luck!

Answer 10

Eihter one would work for your skin tone.....just get your preference. I like Green contacts and have your hair done by a salon ....over the counter products will not give you the look that you want ....your hair is too dark for home lightening kits.
