I would get a lighter brown color, because then it will blend in and look more natural. but if you want to go crazy I would get a nice blonde, and put chunky high lights in

I also have dark brown hair and what I found works best is a nice deep red. Like blood red or vampire red. Blue is also a nice color but I would stick to red.

It depends whether you want the natural look or the funky look.
If you want natural like a red tint would look really really nice but also natural. Or you could get a lighter brown
If you want the funky look go for blonde or pink.
Hope this helped, let me know how it goes x

Im 13 also and I have brown hair too and I got blonde highlights... at first it looks weird like they POP out but when they begin to fit into your hair they fade a little so it looks better so I would say blonde or Auburn cause I have blonde and auburn togeather on brown :D

To crazychick, yo have to bleach your hair first or it won't work.

And if your brunette, copper coloured highlights or warm reds always look really nice in my opinion.

I think that if your a prep you should get like brown and blonde highlights. If you are like punk or into being funky you should get dark blue which I personaly think looks mysterious and pretty. You should NOT get JuST blonde highlights because blonde and dark brown are complete different colors and shades. You need to make them blend and flow together. Plus, my friend has black hair and she got blonde highlights, the blonde looks white and is not a pretty picture. Good luck, do what you think is best and listen you your heart. Remember, it's just hair and it grows back. Take a chance.

to me the best combo you can get in colours for dark hair are copper red streaks after a few washes they take on a life of their own...in sunlight they scream energy and at night they give off a warm romantic look...hope you find what you looking for

I had dark purple highlights done, however I have a gothic dress and makeup style so purple might not be what you're looking for...

I have Medium/Dark Brown hair, and I actually didn't know what to get either. I asked my Hairdresser, I ended up getting a Caramel, with a light blonde to go along with it. I love it sooo much!!! I've had it for 2 years now.!! Oh...and don't get chucky highlights either. Or stringy ones. Do it where it looks natural!!

Answered by kmadz on Aug 27, 2008, 11:59AM

dark brown hair looks good with either dark caramel highlights (which will give you a sort of blonde look) or light brown highlights. Don't go too light with the highlights because dark hair with light highlights is hard to maintain the roots and you'll end up looking kind of trashy. Also, some red highlights could be nice. All up to you :]
