Hey guys,

My current hair color is medium brown and I want to add some caramel highlights tomorrow. The trick is I don't want the color to be orange and I am afraid that it will turn out that way.

I also want to find a picture to take with me. I searched, but couldn't find anything I like. If anyone has any good picture sources, I would greatly appreciate it.

Anyone gotten caramel highlights before? Did you like it?

I really hope this turns out well!!

I just got caramel highlights last week actually & my hair is a medium brown. I would take a photo but my camera is acting up.
I really really stressed to my hairdresser that I did not want blond highlights. I made it very clear that I wanted light brown, caramel colored highlights. What she did was a foil weave in the top layers around the crown of my head and then she used a semi-permanent to tone the highlights so they are a nice soft caramel brown. I am very pleased!

Ohh, I really wish you had a picture. That sounds exactly like what I had in mind. I don't want them blonde either. Did your hair get damaged?

What do you mean by caramel high lights? Do you mean blonde high lights? My hair is highlighted blonde but I would prefer not to post pictures of my face anymore. I will post a pic of my hair though http://img212.imageshack.us/my.php?image=hair002zf8.jpg

Edit: I didnt read everything you wrote and just noticed you said you dont want them blonde. I still dont understand what you mean by caramel highlights though. Please paraphrase

Molly, it's like a soft light brown color. I think it would contrast nice against my medium brown and still look natural.

That sounds beautiful

No damage at all....it was even done over existing hair color. I do have healthy hair, but I still asked my hairdresser if it could handle the bleach & she said absolutely.

Okay, okay...here are some photos....I used my laptop camera (my digital won't work) in our well-lit guest room cuz I tried it before in my room & they didn't show up on the dim lighting.
I would also like to post a disclaimer that:
- I am in my night dress (that sounds so old fashioned)
- My hair is a mess
- My makeup is all worn off

Okay...my lovely highlights:

You are gorgeous! You have beauty marks to

thanks
When I was a kid I called my beauty marks polka dots and I hated them. I like them now; I'm spotted like a leopard
Oh and every time I go to a club, inevitably one gay guy comes up to me & tells me he loves my beauty marks....it's pretty funny.

Siouxsie: Lovely hair, and you're gorgeous!! Those highlights are perfect.

clicky.




clicky.

Youre pretty to miss.ChaNel

Thanks, Molly! We shall see how it turns out.



Perfect! Thanks so much for posting those pictures. Also, you are absolutely stunning!



Thanks for posting your pictures, too, MissChanel. Your hair compliments you. I think your highlights are a bit too blonde for what I want, but they look great on you! By the way, you have beautiful eyes, too.

^ thats too blonde?! holy moly.. you don't dare want to see how i used to be.

Well, too blonde for what I want right now. I just want a little bit of contrast.

Don't worry, I used to totally blonde all over, too, so I get it.

Awww that was so sweet what you wrote to me! *tear*

I dont want to post my picture on here because people put my pictures on LH to make fun of it.

Aaa, I took it down because I suddenly felt silly for writing that when you might not even be talking about that.

So, here's what I can remember of what I wrote (in response to her first post), so nobody thinks Molly's gone completely bonkers:

"Aww, Molly. From the 1 picture I've seen of you, you're really cute. We could be cousins, and I'd even claim you. You should be plastering your face and your highlights all over the internet. "
