I've always had darker brown hair, experimented in High school (like 4 years ago) with blondish brown highlights, it was bad, finally made my way back to darker. I have a lighter complexion but tan, so it's more natural looking.
anyway, last time i went I put a lighter brown (kinda almost golden-ish) and a dark mocha/red color, and i loved it. (i think it's the first pic)
second one is with lighter red and med blonde in it.
You can always ask your hairdresser too, find a good one and they'll be able to help ya with what you want.
One recommendation would be if you wear your hair straight (that's the only way mine goes
) ask them to foil up the side (not do the straight back kind--it'll look like stripes)
Maybe someone could help with terms.. I'm not great at that!
