So, my hair is dark brown underneath with a light brown on top and some nearly invisible highlights because they were highlighted before the last color and only faded through. I have about 2 1/2 - 3 inches of root showing (havn't colored since december) and am wondering what type of highlights would be best for me.
Either way, I want something very subtle because my hair is getting too dry and damaged from previous color, and I'd like to eventually (may take a few years) just have a few highlights throughout and grow the rest out to my natural color.
So, I'm thinking, should I do few but all- over highlights, half, a friend said something about highlighting in like a circle, like leaving the middle unhighlighted because it's less damaging but still getting the top and the underneath.
Also, for the way my hair is now (as described at begining) should I do foil highlighting method, or would baliage be better because it blends into roots more leaving me able to leave my hair alone longer?
I'm just worried that the baliage method might be too thick of a highlight size or be too light at the bottom ( it;s lighter at the bottom and fades into roots at top, french method, looks like natural beach hair) and may look strange against my dark brown underneath?
Either way, I wouldn't be doing very light highlights. Probably something more along the color lines of Alessandra Ambrosios highlights ( more winter or fall, she gets a bit too blond in summer for my taste) or mischa bartons more natural looking hair. Point being to try and leave most of my hair unhighlighted so I can grow it out. But I still need it to not look strange with the colors I already have, along with my several months worth of light brown roots-though the roots are a very similar color to the dye I've got growing out right now.
And I really like the style of highlights ambrosio has... would I achieve that through foil or could I do it with baliage?
Sorry about the length... I'm having trouble thinking of what to say today.
