I have dark brown hair, I am "cool toned", I look best in silver rather than gold, white rather than off white. However my eyes are green blue with a tiny bit of gold and my eye makeup colors look better in warm tones. So I'm confused reading about highlights some articles say match your skin tone, others say if you have both warm and cool features to go with eye color. Do I chose warm or cool tone highlights? I plan on asking my hairstylist but I think I'd trust my BB friends more! Any advise?

I think a reddish brown color will look pretty as highlights. Years ago that I what I chose when I highlighted my hair & received many compliments. Good luck. I look better in white as off white does nothing for me.

Yes, IMO, the silver or whitish blonde highlights on brown hair can be aging. A nice caramel color might be nice!

Light brown and medium brown for highlights.

To make sure they don't 'pull' red and/or brassy, the shades should have "ash" or "cool" in their name.

My daughter has medium brown hair and her dresser used caramel color highlights. It looks very pretty.

I agree. Carmel is the way to go, especially for dark brown hair. That is, if you want subtle rather than striking.

Thank you for your help, I'm ready for a change. Looking forward to highlights, hope they help my thin fine straight hair appear to have more body.

They absolutely should, as all hair color does. 8)

Good luck, and do report back here after your new look!
