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!

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.
