Okay, so let’s talk about my little hair adventure. I’ve always had pretty dark hair, like almost black, and I was getting a bit bored with it. I wanted to add something, a little bit of spice, you know? But nothing too crazy. That’s when I started thinking about brown highlights on my black hair.
I spent a whole afternoon scrolling through pictures online, looking for inspiration. I saw some people with these subtle brown highlights, and I thought, “That’s it! That’s what I want!” They looked so natural, like the sun had just kissed their hair. I read a lot of people who said “Ask your colorist to focus on face-framing strands.” So I bookmarked a few photos to show my hairstylist.
The next week, I went to my usual salon. I showed the stylist the pictures and explained what I wanted. We talked about different shades of brown, and I decided to go with something that was just a couple of shades lighter than my natural color. I didn’t want a huge contrast, just a touch of warmth and dimension.
She started by sectioning off my hair, then carefully painted the highlights on. I was a bit nervous, but she was super gentle and made sure I was comfortable. We chatted while the color was processing, and I could feel myself getting more and more excited to see the final result. She focused on a few strands around my face like those internet people said.
- First, she sectioned my hair.
- Then, she carefully painted the highlights.
- We waited for the color to process.
- Finally, she washed and styled my hair.
After she washed and styled my hair, I finally got to see the new me. And oh my god, I loved it! The highlights were so subtle but made such a big difference. My hair looked richer, more vibrant, and it framed my face beautifully. She used some ash brown highlights because I have cool undertones or something like that. It just blended so well with my dark hair!
I’ve been getting so many compliments on my hair since then. People keep saying how healthy and shiny it looks. I’m so glad I decided to get these highlights. It was such a simple change, but it really elevated my whole look. If you’re thinking about adding some brown highlights to your black hair, I say go for it! You won’t regret it.
