1. Enhance Your Natural Hair Color

Brunettes and darker hair color look best when lighter strands of hair are added to the highlights. Ask your stylist to add a touch of lighter color to your hair before it is washed. This technique will bring out your natural hair color as well as give it some volume.

2. Avoid Highlights in Shorter Areas

You can get highlights if you have short hair, but it must be done correctly. Let your hairstylist know that you only want highlights in the longer parts of your hair. If your hair is long toward the front, that is the area to add color. Adding highlights to the shorter parts of your hair can make it look like it has stripes.

3. Don’t Overdo It

Overdoing your hair highlights is a bad idea and it’s completely unnecessary. In fact, all you have to do to maintain your highlights is get a quick touch up every four to eight weeks.

4. Ask for Alternatives

If you are thinking about getting highlights but you are not quite ready, ask your stylist for alternatives. A color rinse, for example, can be done in a few minutes and costs way less than getting highlights for your hair.

5. Try Extensions

Extensions are another option for those who want a non-permanent alternative to highlights. The good thing about extensions is that you can accessorize with them. One day you might be in the mood for loud, bright colors and the next day you may want to go for a more natural look.

-- Read more]]> Getting highlights for your hair is one of the best ways to transform your personal style. You can even learn how to add the highlights yourself at home and save money. However, if your hair is long you may need an extra hand to get the job done.

Follow these 6 easy steps to get the highlights you’ve always wanted:

1. Choose a Look

Before selecting a look, make sure that you explore the different types of highlights currently popular. Color is also very important. For darker hair it is best to stick to red or caramel colors.

2. Prepare in Advance

Avoid washing your hair at least 24 hours prior to getting highlights. This way the oils in your hair will minimize the damage that chemicals can cause.

3. Get Ready

Adding highlights to your hair can be a messy process, so be sure to wear clothing you don’t mind permanently staining and the plastic gloves provided in your kit. Brush your hair as you normally would right before you start.

4. Highlight

Take strands of hair and add the highlighting product so that your hair is completely saturated. Make sure to check your hair throughout the process to see how it’s coming along. You can do this by wiping your hair with a towel and checking the color. Expect the color to be a bit lighter once your hair is dry.

5. Apply Conditioner

After highlighting your hair, rinse it, add conditioner, and rinse again after 5-10 minutes. Don’t use shampoo, as this can cause the color in your hair to come off.

6. Style

To finish, blow dry your hair and style it so that you can show off the new you. If necessary, wait a few weeks and repeat the process to get the desired look.
