The two most important deciding factors of choosing the right hair color is the complexion (facial complexion to be particular) and the eye color. For hair coloring, people can be divided into two categories the warm people and the cool people. People who fall in cool category can't opt for bright shades of blonde, and people who come into the warm category can't go for the cool shades of blonde.

The people who fall into the cool category can have skin tone dark brown, pale complexion with pink undertones or no color, medium complexion with light pink color in the cheeks or no color, bronze or brown complexion after tanning and olive complexion which can be Asians or Latinos. The eye color can be either grayish blue, blackish brown, dark brown, dark blue or hazel colored with light flecks. People who come in this category can go with cool blonde shades like icy white (platinum) or mink. Such people should avoid bright yellow or golden shades of blonde. People who are thinking of getting blonde highlights on brown hair or black hair can also go for these hair color highlights ideas.

For people who fall into the warm category can have brown skin tone with pink or golden undertones, ruddy complexion, pale complexion with golden or peach undertones or a freckled complexion. The eyes can be hazel eyes with brown or golden colored flecks, greenish blue eyes, green colored eyes or golden brown eyes. The best suited shades of blonde for such people are golden brown or golden blonde shades. They can also try a base color hair dye of shiny blonde, and go for dark brown or warm shades of brown as highlights.

Additional Styling Your Blonde Highlighted Hair
There are many ways to add even more style to your hair and make it look unique. If you are bored of your plain straight hair then get some curly locks done or try some beach waves look, which can be obtained by using a sea salt spray. If you don't wish to go with curly haircut styles and ideas, then you can also consider cutting your hair choppy, or make your straight haircut look stylish by using a razor. For additional hair coloring ideas, to create an even more textured hair look, go with lowlights which are two or three shades darker than your base hair color.

Caring for Your Colored Hair
Select a hair color product which is long-lasting, so that you can have the highlights for longer. Also, to prevent fading of the highlights, avoid exposing them to sunlight. For hair care use the shampoo and conditioner, which are mild or use the hair care products which are especially made for colored hair.
