Highlights for Medium Blonde to Dark Blonde Hair Try golden or honey highlights.

"With medium blondes, it is a great opportunity to do an almost 'bronde' look with golden or honey highlights," says Hill. Friedman adds that if you're more of a dirty blonde, add taupe highlights or dark blonde lowlights. Both these looks will add dimension to your hair color.

Thanks for all the tips. Getting ready to have my hair colored and I never knew that in was especially unhealthy to use heat products to style colored hair! Duh, makes perfect sense!

Thank you for including something about black hair. Any hairdresser I went to for highlights used blonde colors. Now I know what to tell them to do. Also, it is critical to use color safe/retention products. I have never tried Shielo, but I am going to now. Great advice!

I on;y liked Jessica Alba's hair, but it looks more like ombre, not highlights...

They didn't put anything for red hair. There is a definite difference between red and auburn, and they just totally skipped red out. I'm disappointed.
