What color of red highlights goes with light brown hair?

Olivia

I'm getting red streaks in my hair, but I don't know what shade of red looks good with light brown hair. Help!

Oh, and I don't know if this helps, but I have light skin and green eyes.

Hair color ideas?? (pic included)?

I've been thinking about dying my hair lately. It's been a while, my natural brown color has grown back halfway already. But I need some new hair color ideas! Im open to everything. Something pretty natural that would look good on me (not like green or anything -_-). Auburn, red, blonde, brown, etc. also, if it makes any difference, my eyes are light green.

Thanks guys :)

This also depends if you are worried about ruining your hair...bleaching is pretty bad for your hair, but if you really want a blonder colour- go for it. I am saying this, because I think blonde would look good on you. But I don't mean yellow/honey blonde(although that would be good too). I mean cold toned, platinum blonde highlights. Its better to do highlights, because when you'll have regrowth, it won't be that obvious. Also, your natural hair colour has a cold tone, so the highlights should be that tone as well- that's why I'm offering platinum blonde. Honey blonde, or yellow blonde would look good too - but I would go for platinum.

Here is a picture of the platinum colour I am talking about:

This model's hair is completely platinum though. It could be too difficult to take care of and too damaging, so you can do either:

Platinum blonde highlights:

or

Platinum blonde ombre:

If you think that the platinum idea is too unnatural, damaging and crazy, you could do the same thing with a more common blonde colour, although you could still make platinum look natural;)

Oh, the last thing: THIS COULD DAMAGE YOU HAIR, so if you're planning to do any hair dye jobs, DO THEM AT A PROFESSIONAL, GOOD SALON. And before you go, find a picture on the internet or draw a picture of the EXACT HAIR COLOUR THAT YOU WANT. Trust me, this is from my own experience. They died it wrong once, and then I had to dye it around 6 times to make it look at least a little bit better. Now I have damaged, dry hair and the hair colour that I don't want and doesn't look nice.

So, good luck and experiment wisely ;)

PS sorry for the long links...thats the only way they work...
