    Default Will I look okay with blonde highlights?

    I have a hair appt. coming up, and I planned to get the babydoll stripper blonde highlights I've always wanted, but I am scared I'll look like shit.

    I am 75% southern Italian, and I worry I'll be denied at the salon and told I look too ethnic for blonde or something. Or warned, and then it'll look weird.

    I want this:



    And this is me, albeit without a tan:



    What do you ladies think? I have picked up a bit of color since that pic, and will continue to over the summer, if that helps.

    It's hard to tell your coloring from that pic...it's really dark. Your eyes look really dark, right?

    I think you could pull it off, but I also think that auburn highlights might work better. what color is your hair naturally?

    We have a girl at my club thats 100% italian. She is kind of pale (at least compared to most strippers lol) but she has facial features very similar to yours. Same eyes, eyebrows, nose, face shape. She rocks a light brown hair color, and puts blonde highlights in from time to time. It looks good. I think you'll look wonderful. I love the color in those pics, especially where its curled!

    I think you could totally pull it off. A salon can't tell you no because of who you are, although they can say no if your hair is really damaged, or if they think it would destroy your hair, which it wouldn't. Go for it, bring some of those pictures to the salon. I love her highlights.

    Appreciate the help bigtime-

    Nah, my eyes are green.

    This is an old pic, I was chubbier and paler.



    My hair is this color naturally (it looks darker indoors and such, see previous photo):


    But I used a henna/indigo hair product and now it's really dark, like, darkest natural brown. It was dark to begin with, but now it's really dark. It brought out my eyes a lot, but it washed me out, and I still don't know if I'm cool or warm. Haha

    Here is me now....forgive lack of makeup and hair-age (I look effing CROSS-EYED):





    Help appreciated-

    I think you would look great with honey-blonde highlights.

    I think you could pull off honey blonde but nothing too cool. No white-blondes, almost like a lightest strawberry colour. I worked with a girl that had similar colouring to you and she lightened her hair to a medium brown (you might wanna consider if you can) and then honeyed all over, it made her eyes look awesome.

    If you henna-ed can you dye over it? Some you can't.
    Toronto-based, very rough draft, constantly asking for input!

    Our bodies, our rules.
    Stand together or fall apart.

    I think you'd look fabulous with balayage style highlights like this:

    If your hair has been dyed with henna at all in the past 6 months or so, be sure to tell the colorist about it.

    Some color interacts very badly with henna, and can cause your hair to snap off or fall out completely. Be sure they are aware of what kind of henna you used so they cand ecide if your hair can handle it or not.
