Dyeing your hair is a great way to change things up and achieve a new look once in a while.

However, dyes can really damage your hair too. If you are someone who cannot go without dyed hair, why not try out highlights instead? As highlights are only on some portions of your hair, the damage will be minimal and it looks really good too!

Here are some subtle hair highlights to take inspiration from for your next hair appointment.

Check them out below!

#1 Pink on dark brown hair

Pink is one of the most popular highlight colours and dyeing it on the hair closest to your nape will show when your hair flows in the wind. You can also tie up your hair to show off the highlights.

#2 Dark blue on black hair

Dark blue highlights go really well with your natural hair colour (black or dark brown) and will be more obvious under the light.

Slightly brighter than the other colours, purple highlights on brown hair is for the ladies who want to stand out from the crowd while still being subtle by doing the highlights on the hair closest to the nape.

Blonde might seem intimidating but not so when it's only on the ends of your hair! When paired with black, it brightens your complexion without being overwhelming.

#7 Purple and green on brown hair

Another subtle version of unicorn hair but this time with purple and green, only highlight the hair near your ear so that when you tuck your hair behind your ear, the stunning highlights will peek through!
