hair lowlights?

Nov 18, 2006 by jeanette | Posted in Hair

i have light brown hair naturally. about 1 year and 1/2 ago i got blonde highlights that i liked at the time but now i'd much rather have dark brown hair. i'm going to get lowlights, put on heavy. my eyes are dark brown, and i have tan skin, so im hoping it wont look too dark, you know? its like, the color my hair is when it's wet is the color i want it to be when it's dry. do you think the hairdresser will be able to understand what i'm asking for? id appreciate any advice.
ps. i also heard that to make it look more natural, brunettes should darken their hair with red lowlights. but i dont want my hair to be red. what should i do.

If you don't want red, go for 'warm' or 'golden' dark brown. Ashy browns tend to make your hair look dyed, and you look older. They go green under fluorescent lights, and that's why stylists try to steer people toward reds.

If you're feeling uncertain, use something like Clairol's Nice N' Easy, which washes out in a few weeks, and experiment with shades.

I'd recommend anything from dark gold-brown to warm purple for lowlights. Live a little!

Just don't use black. It'll be a disaster. Trust me. I didn't see my natural hair colour from the age of 13 until I was nearly 40!

I need to grab a shower and I'm wondering if it's safe to wash my hair after getting lowlights and highlights. I got them at about 11 this morning. They're permanent, and I got them at a salon. Do I have to wait? If so, until when? Thanks for the help!

anytime you dye your hair you should always wait a day or two to let the natural oils of your hair re-deposit on the hair

I bought a "do-it-yourself" hightlights kit and did that yesterday, (you have a cap and you pull the hair through the holes in the cap, the more hair you pull through the more blonde you will have) i pulled lots of hair and now my hair is not highlighted but completely blonde! I hate it! How long should i wait to put brown lowlights in my hair to darken the colour? Can i do it right now, because I really hate the blonde hair!

it really depends on what condition your hair is in after bleaching it. and when you do put low lights back in you have to be careful what color you pick because a lot of browns will turn your hair an ashie green color , becuase when going blonde you strip all the pigment out of your hair , so in going back to dark you have to put back the missing colors of pigment that make up brown , and if your hair is really damaged after lightening it might not even soak up the color properly,best bet is to go into a salon and just ask them you dont have to get it done there but no one can really tell you unless they see what kind of shape your hair is in , and if you do , do it on your own make sure you dont get any ash based colors.

Is there a place online where you can upload pictures & put on different hair colors, highlights, & lowlights?

I have Dark brunette hair and I want lowlights how many different colors should I have put in?

Mar 29, 2008 by Kato R | Posted in Hair

I've had highlights before and the contrast was shocking, and very odd looking. My hard is every, very dark (almost black) and I have pale skin and highlights just look funny. I've grown my hair out and it's all natural now but I want lowlights, but not too contrasting, how many different colors, I've heard 1 isn't enough and anything past 3 looks freaky but I honestly have no idea whether the people I'm talking to, even have a clue. So what would look best?

Two. One that is 2 shades lighter and one that is three shades lighter.

What colour hair + highlights/lowlights should I have?

Jan 20, 2009 by Savannah D | Posted in Hair

Im 13 and i'm bored of my hair - i've never dyed it. I'm really pale and have dark brown hair and eyes. I want to go to a shade of blonde or different shades of brown but definatly not red tones.What colour should I go.
i've got midlength hair that i straighten and i've got a layered fringe.
the cartoony picture for me looks like me exept i've got darker brown hair if that helps
i'm a cool skintone - pale skin and dark brown eyes .
but i'm a little warm because i've got a reddy brown undertone in my hair that you can't see.
i know this caus when i had a few lighter brown highlights they turned out gingery brown !!!!.

i think you should geet a dark blonde color
and more of a golden blonde would look good

How to add lowlights to my hair?

I'm chinese, and i have black shoulder length hair
i want to add dark purple lowlights, but am sorta confused on how to do it from a boxed dye. any help?

I think you have to get this done at your hairstylist. They have to prep it a certain way for this to get the achieved look.
