Boy; Change hair color to blond / get highlights?


Question Posted Saturday February 14 2015, 9:04 pm

Hello, I'm wondering whether or not to dye my hair blond, I'm 16, I've got (dark-)brown hair, and I've never dyed my hair before!
(This is me: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) hair's more of a quiff currently!)

So, should I do it? I'd like to have it similar to the hair in these pictures:

Teens love to experiment with their looks. Guys don't have as much as choice in wardrobe choices as girls do, so yeah, that really just leaves changes to the hair.
there is no reason why you can't do that. But I'd advise seeing a professional rather than trying to do it yourself or having a mom or female friend do it. When it comes to highlighting or bi-colored hair, there's such a thing as too much. So you will be happier with the results of a professional hairstylist doing it. Make sure who you choose has done this type of work. Go to a salon. While you may not see any males in there, trust me, they do go there. Of most the times I've gone to a big salon, there's always one male there getting their hair done, not just young guys so dont be embarrassed. You go to a barber for guys only for a basic haircut.

Now, about skin types, I was trained years ago to help people learn what colors go with their skin type. You will have what is called, cool toned skin, more the blueish undertones rather than the strawberry blondes to dark reds who have the peachy, golden, cream colored complexions. So trying to use something with reddish tint to it for streaking or tipping your hair will not compliment your skin. It should be a very light version of brunette or a dark blonde.

As to reasons for doing the hair coloring: If it's just for fun and to try something different...go for it.
However, if you are doing this because you want to look more hot for the girls and think that will win their attention, think again. You really don't have to make any change to look better because you already are a very handsome guy just as is.

I suggest you find a hair salon near home and go there, if you feel too awkward going by yourself, get a sister or female friend to go as moral support. Tell the lady at the front what you are looking to do and ask what books you can look at to find a photo of exactly what you want. Once you have found it, ask what it costs to get done. If you have the money for it then and there's no waiting line, go for it. If you need to save up or get the parents to help, do that and get their card and make an appointment for another day.
Good luck!

Frankly, your hair colour looks fine how it is, but you could do that colour too. Honestly it's up to you, because it's your hair and your choice, and if you like it a certain way, I say go for it!
Hope this helps~
