Highlights... Which shade?

[PrettyKitty]

I can't wait for my appointment!

But I still don't know which shade I should choose...

I'll dye my hair in a deep chocolate brown before my appointment, and here is the only pic I found to give you an idea of what I want..

I really love it, but I think it will be too pale with my deep chocolate brown hair, should I choose one shade darker?

And how do you like it?

Would you say it's too light for me? Or she have too much highlights? Should I try red, purple, copper or... ?

I like those color highlights but I think with a chocolate brown they will be a bit too light. Most salons have swatches of colors. I would find out if yours does and that way you can put the colors up to your hair and you will get an idea of what it will look like.

i'd go with copper because of your eye colour. copper highlights in deep chocolate coloured hair are going to compliment them very well :]

Yes we have them! (I used to work for this salon!

) But I'm so silly that I forgot this trick... I'll see how they look near my hair!

The thing is... (Sorry I forgot to say that: ) I'm going to have colored contacts! Green or honey, not sure yet.

Honey contacts and copper highlights would look awesome IMO.

ahh okay :] if you get green, that opens alot of options up. because with green eyes, something of a light auburn would look amzing...actually, even with honey coloured contacts, light auburn would look gorgeous on you ;]

I'd go for a couple of shades of highlights. A rich caramel shade and copper shade look great together. That way, it adds depth to the hair.

I can't do more than 1 shade, because I use a shampoo for my scalp that is really bad for my hair color... so if I have only 1 shade to redye every 2 weeks, it will be easier for me.

I would love copper highlighters, can someone tell me if I would still be able to wear cool toned shades? I'm thinking about something more muted, like a cinnamon color if I'm going for something copper.

Did you already get your done?

Just wondering what color you picked out.

No, I colored my hair yesterday, I had like 3½ inch of roots.

Finally, I forgot which shade I bought, it was a 5.7, not a 4 like I though! So it's not too dark, that's almost like what the girl have in the pic above.

I'll have my highlights in 1 week, woohoo!

Yay!

I like the color on that pic.

What color of highlights did you pic?

 

[PrettyKitty]

I'm not sure yet, but I may get a dark beige blonde, like a golden beige light brown.

 

[PrettyKitty]

I got my appointment yesterday... but I'm going to redye them soon because the highlights are too golden. I like it when it's neutral.

(Yikes... my skin is so pale... stupid flash!)

 

[user3]

I love it! I think it looks great! Did you get your hair cut too?

 

[MACreation]

What color is your hair and highlights in that pic? I think it looks awesome against your skin

 

[Katt]

I think it looks great.
