I have dark ashblond hair and Iwould like to know if dark red highlights would look good on it? I always had blond highlights before and it looked very good, but i wanted to try something new but I'm scared it won't look good or maybe it get too red or too dark. Or shall i better stay blond? Any advise would be appreciated!

@Blondsabine,
Ash blonde, by definition, has more whitish highlights. I think adding anything reddish is going to look really off. Hell, I have medium brown hair (what hasn't gone grey) and golden blonde looks fine, but I've done more reddish and it tends to look jarring.

Do you have a photo you could post? It doesn't need to show your face, just your hair, if you're shy. Load it to a free photo sharing site like Photobucket or Image Shack and paste the IMG code in here (you can't just load it from your PC or phone). Anyway, a picture tells a thousand words, of course.

@Blondsabine,
What kind of effect do you want?

If you work, do you work in a conservative office/industry?

I tend not to want anything too natural-looking when I colour my hair. I mean, what would be the point of colouring it if I wanted to look natural? BUT I now work for a very conservative company and I've really had to dial back on how I use hair colour. It's still got some edge to it, but not to the degree I personally prefer.

@ehBeth,
That's true - it kinda depends on what you want.

@jespah,

Anyone under the age of 30 and not constrained by job restrictions (dress code) can have any kind of hair color they want.

I finally made my decision today and went to my hairdresser. I got very nice brown red lowlights and it looks very good. I still have a rest of blond highlights in there and my natural haircolor dark blond. It really looks interesting, just an accent not to many lowlights.
