It's just about to break.
It's more than I can take.
Everything's about to change.


I'm not exactly sure this is the right subforum, but it is titled, "You" so... yeah..

I want to get my hair highlighted. Or dyed and highlighted. Thing is, I have no idea what colors to put in. (I want more than one color, btw.)

So lookie here: BAM!

My hair is actually a bit lighter than that.. It was just kinda dark in my room, and I took it with my webcam. D; This would be a better view of my actual hair color: Boo! (old picture FTW! scream )

I've done pink already, just so you know. (See? c:)

I've been thinking blue (like an aqua blue), purple (lavender), candy pink, and blonde.
OR: since my hair is already a chestnutty color with natural blonde and red highlights, I could just put a red/orange color in it (y'know, the orange color that could be natural, but we call it red hair.) with blonde, or something.
OOOORRR I've been thinking a wild red with... something else.. I'm not sure...

I dunno what to do. D;

So, suggest other color combinations, or whatever you want... I tried asking my parents ('cause I'm one of those teens who actually care what their parents think, and I want to know if they approve.) but they're absolutely no help at all... Once I have a few more ideas, I'll probably be able to decide. :3


I feel it in my veins.
It's not going away.

I like your hair as it. I suggest if you do get highlights to get it done professionally, though. The big strip highlights look tacky & middle school-esque. Just do a lighter shade of your hair color and it should look nice.

its up to you darling.
I like pink, and red but that's just me. you can perhaps try googling "different color highlights" and see what combos people have and see which you'd like to try
right now I've got blonde highlights that have faded to light brown. I hate them lol.. but I have black hair so thats why it sticks out like a sore thumb.

I recommend that you go to a salon and get your hair colored there by someone who's got a lot of experience at it. Have a conversation with them about what color would look best with your skin tone, how much hair should get colored, and what the upkeep will require. It's much better to get an experienced person to help you color your hair and give you all those recommendations because they know stuff about hair color that you probably don't.

I've seen plenty of people who've dyed their hair by themselves for the first time that have looked awful because the color they picked looked bad with their skin. An experienced colorist will know how to keep that from happening while still giving you a color you like.

It might be more expensive than you're used to, but personally, I would prefer to spend the money so I can be sure my hair's done right rather than save a little bit and screw it up by myself. The professional can give you options on how to maintain the color and recommend products to you.

The color choice is ultimately up to you, but if you do go to a salon, listen to the stylist's recommendations.
