I would have to say a lighter brown color or a reddish color. Something chesnutty.
Don't get anything to bold.
You'll look like a skunk if you get blonde.

umm a golden brown if its our first time getting highlights. If you get blonde dont go very blonde because it will look streaky and like well someone just put dye in your hair in little lines

Okay im 12 and I have realy dark hair, I went all out and got red, pink, green, purple, and blue and trust me it looked great.
If you wanna do this and yu have dark hair yu will need to bleach it 1st or the colors wont show up, if yu do it urself leave the bleach in for about 20 mins then wash it ut and dry your hair then add the colors you want.
(yu can use the bleaching methon on any color to make it brighter)

hope this helps xoxo

I have dark brown hair and I recently got highlights put in it. It was like a kind of golden-y colour, but when I actually saw it in my hair, it looked gingery! I'm going to the hairdressers again to change the colour, or take the highlights out completely. Maybe, get it toned down a bit or something, so it's less gingery and more of a light brown? I don't know what colour highlights I should get? I'm not allowed red or purple, so what else would be best? And I also don't want like, a blond kind of colour - it will go gingery again, especially on dark brown hair. Any ideas?
Thanks, x

Hi

just reading through and thought I would give some advice from experiance! I had dark brown coloured hair I decided I wanted a change so got a home bleaching kit what a mistake well was at the time which turned out to be perfect! I bleached it 4 times to try and get it blonde then it turned out a bright yellow with orangey streaks in it too and in the end I eneded up with big chunks of it so I panacked decided to go back brown but I spoted a lovely gold light brown put it over the top and its come out gorgeous dark brown with light brown golden chunks it contrasts lovely so if your a bit stuck trust me light brown or caramel highlights will look gorgeous too as I have some extensions I clip in with dark brown too!

Hope this helps and good luck!

I have dark brown hair and I am thinking about getting a caramel shade and a chesnut brown but I am not going to have streaks I am going to have little bits here and there which I think will look more natural.

a light brown will go lovely, I've had blonde high light and light brown highlight with my dark brown hair. light brown looked nice although I say that myself.

my mates had a dark red in her dark brown hair and that looked pretty too.

you should get either between caramel or deep red cause those colors are really nice in dark hair thats what I am probably gonna get
