One of the season’s hottest trends will be blond “peek-a- boo” highlights, and what better way to dramatically showcase this fun and flirty look than on brunette tresses such as those of Kim Kardashian. This one is really an attention grabber, yet it is subtle at the same time. Therefore, if you are looking for a big change, but not necessarily a show stopper-give this great “Diva” look a try!

If you want that gorgeous face to really stand out from your luscious brunette locks, try face framing golden or caramel highlights. For an even bolder statement have the lighter color “chunked” in around your face, with plenty of emphasis on your greatest facial features!

If you are looking for a more subtle change for your dark locks, consider caramel lowlights such as Jessica Alba’s or honey brown highlights. These suggestions will warm up your color and add interest but won’t be so noticeable that people notice the change immediately.

If you are looking to make a “big splash” this fall, put some bright blue and violet streaks in your dark “do”. You could also try other hues, such as ruby red or emerald green. If you are wondering about your choices in application, these shades can be “dip dyed”, weaved or chunked into the hair.
