Hot-pink has always looked great against coffee brown in fashionable outfits.  So it makes sense to add pink highlights to this A-line bob for fine or medium hair to bring it right up-to-date.  And using several, slightly different shades of pink is a clever way to make hair look thicker!

This long, straight style is the perfect way to show off a dual-color look, which is a pretty amazing sight that needs no fancy styling!  The hair is in great condition and just has heavy layering to add texture in the tips! But it must look fantastic in a braid up-style or chignon, too!

There’s a great creative contrast in these two, apparently opposite colours!  The cool blonde shade’s balanced by warm cocoa-brown, but to keep the look edgy and ‘alternative’ the cut is deliberately choppy and unbalanced.  The overall look of this ’emo’ hairstyle is highly individual!
