welcome meemo. fluff is our resident hair expert and i try to help out here and there. imo you can go with some auburn highlights or even a nice bronzie gold would work. did you want to lighten your dark brown to something lighter forthe blong hi-lights to work?

Meemo, while we're waiting for Fluff to weigh in, I'll tell you what I've done with highlights for my darker brown hair...My Ahndrew, you can call him Drew for short, puts in a small amount of caramel colored highlights. Good luck!!

Okay, the past few months my hair has deciced to jump ship. I could deal with it when it became gray and then grayer, but now this is bordering on just plain ridiculous. ANy ideas or help? I don't think bald will be a good look on me. LOL

tater have you talked to a dermatologist? female pattern balding is getting pretty prevalent. i would go to the doctor first and see what they say. because it could be something genetic or maybe one of the products you are using. do you color your hair? or perm it? or use any other chemicals on your hair?

Hi Meemo.

You should definitely consider your skintone when getting highlights. Cool colors for cool skin, warm colors for warmer complexions. Having said that, I agree with auburn or caramel colored highlights. Just a few is enouugh to give your total haircolor a punch. But, you definitely have to be careful with caramel because they can come out orangey/bronzey. What effect are you trying to achieve? Barely visible highlights? Knock-em out highlights? Here's an article that might be beneficial to you.

Also, here is a haircolor chart for fun. Pick out your natural color, and then hunt down the color that you want with your haircolor. Tell us the ones you've picked, and then we can have fun matching colors for you! This should be fun!

Tater, I definitely recommend a dermatologist or trichologist in that situation.

Thanks Squared, Fluff & Tabbyking for the heads up ...now I just need to wait 30 days, ask my friend to trim just the front of my new "chin length bob" & I'll be set.

Hopefully, my hair will brush my shoulders by October...yay!

I was getting my hair lightened and I asked my hair dresser if he could do my eyebrows, so he did! When they grow back I will have dark roots in my eyebrows! YIKES!

fluff-
i checked out the haircolor chart and i'd say i'm a dark brown (4). after looking at those highlights i'm wondering if maybe my hair is too dark for any of them. the only reason i thought to highlight it is because i heard it was better than dyeing your whole head. what do you think?

ok i think my hair has paused in its growing. the top layer is just brushing the top of my ears. in also taking a mini break from going to the hairdressers.

Highlighting in a sense is better than dyeing your entire head, although it can still do damage to the hair that has been dyed. Your hair isn't too dark for highlights. My hair is darker and I got caramelish highlights and that gave my entire head of hair a nice punch. The key is picking a color that will agree with your complexion.
