Okay, so, I recently decided to switch up my look and go for something a little different. I’ve always had this super dark, almost black hair, and I thought, why not add a bit of spice? That’s when I landed on the idea of getting some light brown highlights. It seemed like a cool way to brighten things up without going too crazy.
First off, I spent hours scrolling through pictures online, trying to find the perfect shade of brown. I didn’t want anything too drastic, just something that would give my hair a bit of dimension and warmth. Eventually, I settled on a color that was a few shades lighter than my natural hair. I mean, I did not want to change my hair color completely, just make it a little different.
Next up, finding a stylist. This was a bit of a mission because I’m super picky about who touches my hair. Finally, I found this salon that had amazing reviews. I booked an appointment and hoped for the best.
When the day came, I was so nervous. I sat in the chair, showed the stylist the pictures I’d saved, and we talked through what I wanted. She seemed to get it, which was a relief. She started by sectioning my hair and then carefully applying the dye. I have to say, watching her work was kind of mesmerizing. She was so precise, making sure each strand was evenly coated.
Then came the waiting game. I sat there with the dye in my hair, flipping through magazines and trying not to think about all the ways this could go wrong. After what felt like forever, it was time to rinse. As she washed out the dye, I could see the brown starting to show, and I got super excited.
Once my hair was dry and styled, I couldn’t stop staring at myself in the mirror. The light brown highlights looked amazing. They added so much depth and movement to my hair. I especially loved how they looked when the sunlight hit them. It was like my hair had its own natural glow, so natural and beautiful.
- Feeling Fresh: Seriously, I feel like a new person. It’s amazing what a little change can do for your confidence.
- Subtle but Impactful: The highlights are subtle, but they make such a big difference. My hair looks so much more interesting now.
- Low Maintenance: One of the best parts is that this look is pretty low maintenance. I won’t have to be at the salon every few weeks, which is great for my busy schedule.
Here is my feeling:
Overall, I’m so happy with how it turned out. If you’re thinking about adding some highlights to your dark hair, I say go for it! Just make sure you do your research and find a stylist you trust. Trust me, it’s totally worth it.
I’ve been getting so many compliments on my hair lately. My friends all love it, and even strangers have stopped me to ask about it. It feels good to know that my little experiment paid off. I might even try something different next time, but for now, I’m loving my black hair with light brown highlights.
