Should I get highlights? If so, what color?

Question

I have dark brown hair and very light, pale skin, and some light brown freckles. My hair is really short. It looks just like this except the bangs are a bit shorter: http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c345/lilmisspriss888/Pink%20Rock%20Candy/Beauty/Rihannasnewhair.jpg

The guy who cuts my hair suggested that I get highlights. I don't know if I really want to do it or not, but if I do what color should I get done and what kind of highlights should I get done? Like just doing the tips, or the front, or whatever. I don't know what would look good on my hair. And should the color be natural or something crazy like blue? I always wanted to do something like that to my hair but I don't know if I should, lol. What do you think? I will appreciate any answers given!

Answer 1

I think you should get dirty blonde highlights to brighten your hair a bit but not too much, and like streaks of highlights.

Answer 2

you should get just a few on the side, kind of chunky.

If your hair is dark brown then get a caramel (light brown) color to make your pale skin a little more sun kissed, scince the contrast between your hair and skin is...alot. The caramel highlights will lessen that contrast and give you a nice, summery glow! :D

Answer 3

For dark brunette, go with a deep red, like a wine colored highlight. It will bring out the warm tones in your face, and give you that little unique look you were thinking about =]
