These are cool highlights although the girl in the Dual Color Highlights images looks totally funny and lost
Your right Joseph they are so so cool but she looks like she is high.
Light highlights are really looking cool. I too applied light brown highlight an year ago. The blonde highlights really attracts the look.
you spelled “blonde” wrong just so you know. and i like the ideas
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I have been looking for hours on the internet trying to find a hairstyle with highlights that could look good on me. I think that the rainbow hair highlights will be perfect for me and I love the hairstyle. Thanks I really needed this article.
I don’t understand this trend of putting blue or bright colors into ones hair i think it looks weird and not attractive whatsoever. I guess if your goal is to look like a space cadet this is the way to go.
Also the high contrast between dark/light looks stupid and way too obvious…..subtle is they key to get a beautiful look without changing the entire color.
I believe in sticking to your natural shade too black or blonde looks cheap ad tacky unless its your natural color to begin with.
I have long dark brown curly hair with dark brown eyes and mixed skin. I was wondering what color highlights I should get. I was thinking a blonde, caramel, or a burgundy. I don’t know which one would be best or if you could recommend any other color you think would look good on me. Thanks :)
I would use a mix of caramel and a violet sort of red color. Its not really purple but a pretty shade of red, its also subtle!
I have short dark brown hair with a bit of grey I have had blonde highlights before but now I do a lot of swimming and I am afraid of having them again encase they go green with the chloride can you suggest another color i could have . thank you
