20 Awsome Highlighted Hairstyles for Women – Hair Color Ideas

Is there anything that highlights can’t do? This is one of the most varied hair styling techniques of all time. From chunky ribbons of color and thin, subtle highlights to ombre and balayage, there is just no end to the possibilities when it comes to highlights and even lowlights- and that’s just the application techniques. Then, of course, there is a whole rainbow of colors for you to play around with when you experiment with highlights. Want to add texture to fine, pale blonde hair? Simply throw in some soft, brown lowlights and you’ll find that your locks are more defined and thick than ever before.

Alternatively, if you feel like making a dramatic statement about your fun, quirky personality, add some pastel pink tints to your hair. Or, perhaps you’d rather unleash your inner surfer chick this summer? Then opt for sun kissed golden highlights and beach waves. These are just a few of the many ways to wear highlights in your hair. Here are 20 stunning examples that we’re sure you’ll want to show your stylist.
