Highlights

[true.moon]

I am thinking about gettin highlights. I have brown hair which colour would u rekimend?

[Kim]

A lighter brown or blonde depending on how much you want them to stand out and on your eye colour. How dark is your hair?

[true.moon]

its like a fair colour i was think mabye a light blonde.

[Kim]

That sounds good to me. What colour eyes do you have?

[leanne27]

I've had my hair highlighted since i was something like 13 and ive got brown hair so i suggest the same as everyone else - a dark blonde or a light blonde if you want it to look quite different

[true.moon]

my eyes are blue. How often do i have to get them redon?

[Kim]

I would go for blonde in that case. Erm, I'm not that sure about timing as I've never had mine done but a few of my friends have so I would say every 4 - 6 months maybe.

it depends on the darkness of your hair and the lightness of your highlights the least you will have to have it done is 4- 6 weeks but i dont expect you will have to have them re done in such a short time, maybe every 3 months or so

I have blonde high lights and they just start to grow out,so basicaly its when you think is best , usually 3 to 4 months with me but my hair is a fairly short bob cut.Dont for get with the summer sun, if we get any :rotfl: the high lights will go lighter in hot sun.

[true.moon]

ok the thanks for the advise. How much do u think they will cost?

[Kim]

That would depend on whether you want to have them done at the hairdresser or buy the dye and do them yourself.

[true.moon]

im gona have a hairdresser do it for me i wouldnt trust myself to do it on my own

[Kim]

I'm not sure in that case. I think my auntie had some done and they cost around £20.

[true.moon]

ok
well that isnt too much :)

[Katy]

mine cost 25, where i got mine done and i had light blonde as my hair is dark. Therell look really nice.

[true.moon]

do i have to use a special shampoo for highlights. I'm getting them done in the summer

[Kim]

Yeah, you'd need a colour protect one.

i have blonde highlights and soon going all blonde on top with my dark underneath again and it costs me £40 and i get my roots done every 4-6 weeks for £15 which aint bad ! ive had my hair blonde highlighted since i was about 13 and i love it, everyone says blonde is me and i have dark hair blue eyes so im sure it would suit you to a T aswell !! - its whatever you think would suit you and would you would be happy with ! :p

my hair is dark brown and eyes are hazel what highlights do you all think i should have ?? grren would go i surpose but i dont think my school would alow it !lol . i want it to look natural but not too bleached

[Skits]

try some copper highlights. i've dark brown hair and at somtimes i have both copper and blonde highlights. at the moment i have blond and red.

[Kim]

Maybe a lighter brown? I know someone with light brown hair and hazel eyes and it really suits them.

[X~xLaylax~X]

thank you !! I might do that then and one day go all over lighter but i might have to bleach my eyebrowns then.

try some copper highlights. i've dark brown hair and at somtimes i have both copper and blonde highlights. at the moment i have blond and red. i was thinking about dying it black with red highlight or lowlights but desided it wouldnt suit my skin tone as it is olive toned (tanned) . copper sounds nice thought i might get copper and light brown hightlights .what do you think ?

[Kim]

That sounds good. I'd stay away from red as red highlights/dyes never look natural. My friend had red once and it came out somewhere between red and ginger, so it was really weird.
