Very random...hair highlights

Do you highlight your hair? If yes, do you find it high maintenance?

It's a friday so indulge me in this pointless banter...

I'm having a blaaa patch where I am totally over being me and what to break out and try something new. I have long brown au-natural hair and fancy a change but am scared as a colour change sounds like a big committment! Definately don't wanna chop it off as it's taken an age to grow.

What do you do when you feel like you need a change? Inspire me :)

Already got the mega layers and the side part :) Had the layer thing for years an years but layers are definately better for me than one length.

I would def only want a few highlights as mega highlights would be too much with the dark base and would be hard to grow out.

That IS expensive...that is one of the reason I don't colour..can't be bothered with high maintenance.

if you want a change why dont you get your ears pierced (are they already i cant remember) or your nose or belly button.

When i want a change (not that i can afford it much now) i get my hair cut...it always seems to grow back!   

Heh heh GandT! I've my ears pierced and not keen on piercing any other part...wouldn't suit my personality. :)

My hair is very dark brown and I don't like orangey tones so would be going for light brown / dark blonde tones if that is possible...a just a few so it's not too dramatic to grow out...

I love getting highlights, you can get away with leaving it a bit longer than a full colour as the regrowth doesn't seem to show as much (depending on the colour). Depending on how many and where you are it can be expensive, but is cheaper to maintain

Fiona I would say your hair is about as dark as mine is naturally. I used to get really blonde blonde foils put in my hair and they were toned down a bit to make them look nice (almost like a light caramel colour) I can email you a pic of my hair if you want just PM me you email addy and i'll do that for you.

I love that garnier home streaking kit, I have brown hair and it goes a really nice colour and it cheap and easy

I used to have blonde hair, but its gotten rather dark over the years. I can't afford to keep getting highlights so when I do get them, I get them put under a layer of hair (if that makes sense). Basically my hair is below my shoulders and I do it differently all the time (I get bored easily). With having the highlights under a layer of hair, I can show them by having my hair half up or in a ponytail, or if I part my hair on the side. If my hair is out, you can only see them through the movement of hair so it doesn't look like nasty re-growth.
Hope that makes sense
Go for it....its just hair at the end of the day. If you don't like it, you can always let it grow out...or buy a cheap color from the supermarket and go over it
