    Default Highlights for long boring brown hair...

    My hair is f-in borning,very long and brown. I have never had highlights and wanted to try them. I don't want to have that chunky super blonde highlight look. I can't find any pics online of a decent classy look of highlights on brown hair.
    I want them to look subtle and natural. Not like huge blocks of color popping out,
    but still a honey tone not any trace of red or orange. I loathe the brassy look.
    Does anyone have brown hair with highlights? Care to share some pics?

    I was thinking a honey/caramel color and thin tiny highlights under the crown so I dont have to re-do the roots constantly.

    Thanks peeps

    go to a good colorist & have em dojust a few shades lighter than ur current shade. it will brighten ur face, give your hair more dimension & look summery

    I have long brown hair but I went for the red highlights. I love them. I think it's all about how the colorist does them. If they're good, then it can look really natural. I hate the stripy look for myself even though it works well on some women. Go somewhere good and don't cheap out on it. You'll get a better result where they have a better reputation!

    honey/caramel highlights look really good in brown hair. That's what I do in the summer, mostly to cover up the brassy highlights that the sun gives me (especially if I am out on the boat, etc). I'm Brazilian so I always take my hair stylist pictures of Alessandra Ambrosio or other South American models. I got the last one I used by google image searching "alessandra ambrosio hair".
