I just want to let you know, highlights damage your hair. Almost anything you do to your hair can damage it!
I'm not sure what color h-lights you should get because they will all look greattt.

Highlights most definitely will damage your hair, especially if you have african american black hair. The only way to highlight dark coloured hair is to put bleach on it, and this changes the chemical structure of hair. It causes weakening and breakage, as well as split ends and a general loss of shine.

If you do decide to go for highlights, you need to make absolutely sure that you take very good care of your hair. Avoid excessive brushing and use a conditioner specially formulated for highlighted/coloured/damaged hair.

I just want to say I am utterly jealous of you. I would love to have lustrous african american hair, it takes a lot of styling which would look awful on my hair!

Try something a little less extreme like braiding or a new style before you definitely decide to go for the highlights.

Highlighting wouldn`t damage your hair..I can think of tons of good colors to highlight your hair with..
-Lighter brown
-Dark blondish color
-albrun "my favorite'
-Copper color which is between brown && blonde that would good..

Hope it looks good

Highlights don't damage your hair at all!
I think it would actually look great, especially on a african american.

maybe you should get dark brown, but yet, make it kind of noticable. that would be adorable <3

Hope I helped =]

hey. i dont think that highlighting your hair would damage it all that much... it is just adding a bit of color. since your hair is dark, i would stay away from blonde highlights! i would go for some dark, rich browns, or you can even go to mahogany. that would look but in my opinion!! :) about the damage again, your hair wont really be damaged unless you consistantly straighen, blowdry, and color it, you should be fine! hope this helps!! :) &hearts; &hearts; &hearts;
