If I have medium brown hair, can any highlights I get include shades of blonde?

I have extremely fair skin and medium brown hair. I want to get some highlights, but I don't want anything with a 'yellow' or 'orange' tone.





Any advice, please? What type of blonde highlights, if any, would you recommend?





Thanks :)If I have medium brown hair, can any highlights I get include shades of blonde?
I've had blonde highlights before, if you have many, it makes your hair look blonde without ';growing out';. I wouldn't take a too different tone to your natural hair, that doesn't look good :-(


I found my hairstyle with this: http://www.girl.com.au/virtual-hairstyle鈥?/a> it's really realistic.





Edit: and I'd definitely have it done by a GOOD hairdresser.

i have fair skin but dark blonde hair i have ash blonde and golden blonde highlights they dont look orange or yellow, im sure ur hairdresser will advice u on what is best for ur skin tone
Yes you can have blonde highlights, they can either use a colour or bleach. Bleach sounds really harsh and drastic but it just lifts the colour best and depending on how long its left on depends on the shade. If you ask your hairdresser for blonde highlights but say what tone you want they can do it for you. If the desired tone is not reached with the dye alone they can put a toner on to lift the colour a little. hope this helps

I have crazy blonde highlights and I want to dye it with LOREAL dark red and THEN ADD BLACK STREAKS ?

do you think that will workI have crazy blonde highlights and I want to dye it with LOREAL dark red and THEN ADD BLACK STREAKS ?
It should, although, if I were you, I'd check with a professional. Just remember, advice is free, so hop into a good salon, and talk to the head stylist/expert. Tell them you'll give it a thought and head out. Go back, if you think they'll do a good job, or DIY at home. :)


Let me know how it works out for you.





GoodLuck!I have crazy blonde highlights and I want to dye it with LOREAL dark red and THEN ADD BLACK STREAKS ?
Please dont!!

Red hair with blonde highlights HELP?

ok my friend has strawberry blonde hair and she is gettong highlights can i have a pic and dont give me a pick of this girl with real dark red hair cause she has light! strawberry blonde hair and getting blonde highlights picture please how would that look?Red hair with blonde highlights HELP?
I have strawberry/golden blonde hair, and I have been putting blonde highlights in it for a couple years now. the highlights blend in very subtly and just give the hair a more blonde tint. If she wants her highlights to stand out a then the blonde is not the way to go, but if she just wants something subtle to lighten up her hair all around then highlights are a good choice!! they also tend to add more shine to strawberry blonde hair, and she wont have to worry about her roots growing out because the blonde will naturally blend so well with her hair.





i cant find any pictures of my hair close up, but take my word it will turn out nice!Red hair with blonde highlights HELP?

    please dont ruin your hair as it will look so unnutural and tacky..go and get it professionally done at a good hairdresser. from black to brown to red then bright yellow thats the colour changing sheme
    It probably goes from red to blonde since blonde has the least pigment, but you shouldn't do it yourself if you don't want it to get messed up.
    You really dont need to do this yourself. But, if you are going to I would go to a beauty supply store and ask the person working there what you should use. If your hair is natural black-it will take a lot to lift it to blonde. It does go in steps of color-red, orange, yellow then blonde. If you dont use the correct amount of developer or leave it on long enough it wont lift enough-you could turn out with orange hair! You may have to apply the bleach twice to get the disired look of blonde. Which can be damaging to the hair.


    As a liscense cosmetologist I would recomend you go to a salon.
    bleach can damage your hair!
    GO TO A PROFESSIONAL! If you try to do it yourself with those at home bleaching kits, especially since you want such a drastic change, you will end up with orange straw. Go to a reputable hair salon and have a consultation with the stylist before you do it...depending on how dark your hair is, you may have to do a double bleaching process, which can take two visits and in between it may be funny colored. Please, please, please go to a pro!
    Don't do that. You are beautiful just like you are!!!
    do you like orange- cuz thats probably what color itll turn out- see a professional and maybe she can help you choose a more subtle highlight color that would look better with your current hair color
    it's best to use a kit for this, they don't cost alot %26amp; you can find them @ just about any store.


    Your hair will go from red to blonde %26amp; it will take a LONG


    time.


    I had my dark brown hair dyed blonde years ago


    ( by a professional @ the hair salon) she had to


    keep the bleach on for about an hour !
    Try a small strand of hair first...thats the safest way
    You need to leave it on as long as it takes to go thru the natural course. Since your hair is black, I would just keep checking it until it is to the color that suites you. If you only leave it on for 15 minutes it will be orange. So, keep it on, keep checking it, and when it is right for you, take it out. Personally, I would get it done professionally, but if you really want to do it yourself, go to a beauty supply store and get the mixes there. They can help you with advice too. I wouldn't actually put bleach on your hair.
    DONT DO IT YOURSELF.
    3 months
    go get in done by a salon cuz u can fry ur hair and when u touch it cuz it will break! and dont use bleach at all!
    if you have really dark hair you probably should be highlighting your hair blonde. it will look really tacky. go get it done professionally and they can help you pick a color that fits you better.
    Don't do it youself.
    i have black hair and would NEVER high light it. it won't look very good. black hair is fantastic to have. just use hair gloss. if you have deep black hair all you need is a good shine to it. it will look like doll hair. very silky and shiney is the best thing for black hair. other colors they can highlight and look okay, but really, you'll end up looking like the bride of frankenstein. seriously, it's a skunky kind of contrast.
    thats kinda creepy
    If your hair is black and you want true blonde, go to a salon. It's hard to take hair from that dark to that light at home by yourself. At a salon they can lighten it with a shade that will also tone out a lot of the reddish tones. Sure it will cost more, but what's worse than Halloween Hair?
    have a professional do it. we did mine, and unless you want ronald mcdonald orange, pay to have it done right. what started out as a $7.00 venture, ended up costing me almost $150.00 to have it corrected. not to mention my hair was so fried i ended up looking like buckwheat off of the little rascals.
    dont use bleach its dangerous!!!!!!
    well heres the problem. if you have black hair you would have to go 2 to 3 steps. when you highlight your hair you should leave it on at least 30 minutes then rinse it out but it probably will not be the color you want so you would have to go over that color again. trust me , my natural hair color is black. i did it plenty of times. i recommend you to go to a hair stylist if you dont want to have to keep on doing the process over and over again. your hair will be damage.
    Bleach will turn your black hair YELLOW. Have a professional do it for you so it won't go all yellow on you.
    DONT DO BLEACH!....it'll damage ur hair...in some beauty supplies they have hair color for dark hair...use that and read the directions =D
    eeeewwwwwwwwwwUUUUUUU!


    thats just ugly !
    about 10 minutes longer then the box tells you. I have black hair and i bleach my hair every few months and this is usually what I do.

    try a natural color that isn't so out there

    I have recently just got highlights and now i want to go fully blonde?

    I am thinking of just putting a blonde permanent over the top.


    What will this do to my recently dyed highlights ?


    My hair is naturally brownI have recently just got highlights and now i want to go fully blonde?
    Give it some time and you can go blond easily.


    Never use chemical so frequently.I have recently just got highlights and now i want to go fully blonde?
    you should wait a couple of weeks and then go to a salon
    I would just be sure you want to do it, because dying too much ruins your hair.
    I just did this the other day and have a few times and my hair is still gorgeous. Use an herbal essences bleaching kit (the lightest one which is like XL0 I think). Its easy on your hair which is good. After that you will definitly need to get another box dye (preferably a shade of ash blonde which will get rid of any orange (the brown in your hair now will look a tad orange when bleached) I usually get colorsilk in ultra light ash blonde or light ash blonde-its really inexpensive and easy on your hair, but you can really choose any brand). Try to wait like a day between the bleaching and the blonde dye. If its too light for you just get a low light kit and put them in to tone it down. Just a forewarning-for a couple days your hair will seem dry and you may worry its ';ruined'; but after a day or two and a couple shampoos your hair should be back and as good as new! Good luck and have fun being blonde!
    I'm not so sure that would turn out so wonderful...like she said..you would have to bleach your hair...and bleach doesn't always work out so great!
    If your hair is brown you will have to bleach it, the highlights will stay there, they will just be like a shade or two lighter than the colour you get your hair done.
    You should wait a while and gradually go lighter. The chemicals in hair dye are bad for your hair so you should let your hair recover first.
