I'd talk to your hair dresser, they usually will do color consulations before you get the highlights done. I have a really nice hair dresser and she talked to me about which colors would look well, how they would look when they grew out and told me when I would be able to get it redone. It really helped me out alot. I have medium brown hair and I ended up getting light brown/honey blonde highlights that were subtle enough that you can't notice them too much when they grow out. But I suggest talking to your stylist and seeing what she has in mind! Also, keep in mind that depending on what type of highlights you get and how many foils you use it can be expensive. I have pretty long hair and mine was $85 to highlight. Good luck I hope you like it!

If you have darker brown hair, I would go with a copper highlight, that way it won't be too harsh in your dark hair, but it will still look pretty. If you have light brown hair, a golden blonde would look good. I wouldn't go with too many or too light of a color since its your first time. You want it to be sort of subtle, trust me. You can build your way up to lighter or more if you want for the next couple of times. Plus, it will be more low maintenence. You have to be committed if you are getting highlights. They have to be touched up every 6-8 weeks. You can go a little longer if they are really subtle highlights, but not much. Roots look really bad, no matter what color your hair. If you are wanting something more drastic, you can get some golden blonde and some rust colored high/lowlights. Or, you could have brown thats a couple shades darker than your hair and blonde thats a couple shades lighter. My stylist calls it the neopolitan effect, because you have the dark(chocolate), the blonde(vanilla) and the midshade, your hair(strawberry). Its super cute. Oh and one more thing. If you don't already have a stylist, I would ask around for who is good. You don't want to just go for the cheapest, because a lot of times, you get what you pay for, so ask around, and get some names of stylists who have done your friends hair that you like. And I'm sure the stylist will have some suggestions for you if you just ask. Good luck!

Maybe red highlights might look pretty and make you look auburn. Sorry that's all I can think of. Good Luck, hope it lookes good.
