What color highlights would go with black hair.. chestnut, dark auburn, chocolate copper or dark copper?
If you want something that is natural looking, only go a couple shades lighter than your natural color. This creates a warm "sun-kissed" look and prevents too much damage to your hair, especially if it is very dark.



Personally, with black hair, I like a deep red highlight or a caramel color, as long as it's not too brassy. The best thing to do is find several different pictures that you like (even if they're not all similiar, get a few choices) and take them to your stylist. She will tell you what is realistic with the color and condition of your hair, and she'll be able to suggest what would look good with your skin tone.



Also, keep in mind that the more highlights you add, the more you will need to get them touched up, so if you want them to grow out gracefully and not get them redone every 8 weeks or so, go with something natural looking and just a couple shades lighter. Also, get only the top highlighted. Usually this is less expensive, and it looks more natural because that is where the sun would naturally highlight your hair.



If you color all your hair one shade instead of getting highlights, you'll end up with flat looking color with no dimension and it won't look natural. Most likely, you will end up not liking it all one color. If you decide to have it colored lighter all over, still have them do a few highlights and lowlights to make it look natural and blend it better so it doesn't look so obviously colored when it grows out.



Good Luck!
Reply:Ask your hair dresser it really depends on the condition of your hair.. They will be able to give you the best advice possible.. At home color is not a really good idea.. ;o)
Reply:I would say super skinny chestnut ones.
Reply:i'd say go for chestnut, use l'oreal it's the best!
Reply:For dark hair you will need light highlights so you can actually see but not blonde beacause you would just look like a bee! :) I have dark hair and had some copper put into it think that would be your best. If you go to the hairdressers they have a book full of different colours you could have and what would look best so ask them and pick the one that you want!
