I have dark brown hair, light skin and blue/green eyes. Can I get highlights or are they just for people with light brown or blonde hair? Or should I get a one process colour instead? I`m not looking to go blonde, I just wnat my hair color to be less flat and not all one tone and a lighter brown so that there`s not such a sharp contrast between my skin and hair colours so I don`t look so wahsed out.

As a suggestion, and depending on your skintone, you could probably get highlights in either an auburn, caramel brown, golden brown,or bronze, medium in tone. If you go too light with your highlights, it won`t look good; it could look like either the dreaded skunk stripes or the equally dreaded "frosted" look! See your haircutter/colorist for a consultation about this - this procedure is best left to professionals.
