I have natural Jet black curly hair and I was wondering if you think hightlights would look good in it?
I don`t know what color would look good either.

If anyone has a picture of jet black colored hair with highlights could you please send me a link??

I just need some opinions
THANKS

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Pardon me. I believe that highlights generally look trashy, and that they are a gross waste of money.
Jet black hair? And curly? That would look particularly messy. This trend with highlights is presented
by the fashon industry as high class, yet when I see someone with highlights, I think, do these
people feel a sense of inadequacy? Do tey disdain their natural looks? In black hair, the worst kind
of highlights/streaks I`ve seen are those copper colored ones. At any rate, any highlights in black
hair look absolutely phony. If it ain`t broke, why fix it?

Hey, it`s your head, if ya want highlights, then GO FOR IT! IMO I`ve not seen too many gals with jet black hair wearing highlights though. I`m not too sure of what it would look like. I love black hair, so I don`t know if I could do it or not, but if I wanted to, I`d go to a salon and get a professional opinion on what color to go with.

I do know that Courtney Cox had highlights in the movie scream, and she looked great. I`ve a cousin with the jet black hair, and I love it just like it is. I don`t know what it would look like with highlights.....just don`t know.....

Good luck,
Meg

If you really want highlights, go for it, but definately get then done professionally. Black hair can be really tricky , and it can be very hard to dye it. You want to make sure that you choose a colour that isn`t to light compared to your hair ( like, bleach blond) cause the contrast might be a little weird.

Hi! I don`t have black hair, but MANY of my friends do...seeing as many Asian women have jet black hair. Anyway, I think that it would be great to highlight! (That is if YOU want to.) But I do suggest to make sure to have it done professionally, especially since you`re hair is long. My suggestion would be thin streaks instead of chunky ones...and I would suggest a nice dark red--not really light or coppery. It won`t be too dramatic, but subtle and sweet. I don`t think highlights look bad, and it`s nice to do when you have long hair and want a little change, instead of cutting your hair. But also think long about it, because highlighting, especially with black hair is permanent.
