hey, i`m an asian and i have brown highlights. i think i look better with highlights because i am so tanned. i`m from hawaii and i know tons of asian girls who have hightlights and they look great. i guess my advice to you is to keep the highlights somewhat close to your original hair color. real blond highlights look awful on black hair, you know. so i guess auburn wouldn`t be too weird. it depends on your skin tone too though. my skin is really dark because i`m tanned so i look too dark with my black hair a.k.a i look better with highlights. but asian girls who are fair look gorgeous with black hair w/o any highlights. this is all i can say.

My friend has the same kind of hair as you and she got deep red highlights, the kind of purplish red. It looks cool.

Why do black and asian people imitate white peoples` racial features? Vanessa Williams looked
like a good-looking black woman in 1992. More recently she did some hair and makeup things
(if I saw well) to make her look more white, maybe even got light contact lenses. It does
not display her to her advantage, I can tell you. (Ditto for whites who get `fros permed,
though those rare white people who can grow an afro are really cool.)

yeah, if you aren`t sure, then I wouldn`t get it done coz Asian hair is always so beautiful by itself as silky and black.

I`ve never seen a blonde or blonde highlights Asian girl before, but I`d say it would look nice. I really like asian hair because it`s usually long and silky and black.
This is my signature. It's not a very
good signature, but it's a signature
nonetheless.

yeah, I agree on the post before me. Going for a whole head of blonde when you don`t have the natural colouring of pale or tanned skin can look REALLY weird.But I think asian people getting highlights can look really nice. A girl I know had them done, they were a really nice dark red and really suited her. Pick the right colour and go for it!

Hey, I have (or rather had) highlights in my hair and they came out pretty good. My hair`s grown since then and so now they`re really only on the bottom half of my hair. I`ve also seen a lot of kids in my school (Asian) have highlights in their hair that vary from brown to blonde to red. They all look fine. Just don`t overdue it and make your whole head that color...that just looks bad.

I agree with the other posts, if it`s done the right way it will look awesome. Let us know how it comes out if you try it!

I`m Asian, though I don`t look Asian (dad is American). Lol.. My hair is dark dark brown and I want to dye it black but instead I got red highlights. I also got some of those fake hair clip things.. And one of them is black and a natural brown (the color of my hair..) If you got highlights, I dont think it`d look to bad but use foil. The caps come out so much worse...

hey- i`ve seen asian highlights that look awesome. i agree with the other repy- its all in the way its done. if you get them thin, and subtle, it`ll look cool. in my opinion, dark blue and maroonish-red lok the best (separately of course)

I`ve seen asians with highlights before, and if it`s done right, it can look really cool! I think they do that a lot overseas... BUT, i`ve never seen it in person!
