How Do I Get Natural Highlights?

I wanted to get highlights but am nervous that disastrous results will ruin my carefully planned look. Are there any precautions I can take to ensure a sun-kissed appearance?

Subtle highlights are a great way to enhance your allure by making your hair look multi-dimensional and brightening both your skin tone and eye color. "If you are getting married and have never had highlights before, you should look for someone who does natural, fine highlights.

As with all your wedding day preparation, the first step is to find a colorist with your vision. Get recommendations from friends, family and co-workers with highlights you envy, and meet with the prospective colorist to discuss your desires and hear any recommendations he or she may have. Listen to what the colorist suggests-after all this is his business and he knows what works-but don't be dissuaded from what you want into something outlandish.

Finally, we suggests you have the highlights done at least two weeks before the wedding. Color looks better after the first couple of weeks, and this waiting period allows enough time to get used to the added color and, if you don't like it, have it fixed. To showcase your new look, have at least some of your photos taken outside, where the color will shimmer in the sunlight.
