When it comes to freshening up your look, sometimes a haircut just isn’t enough. While getting a new tattoo or piercing can be tempting, a good option that is somewhere between changing your hair length and modifying your body is getting your hair dyed.

If you’re new to the world of hair coloring, it can seem quite daunting. If you’re considering changing your hair color to blond, it can be even more scary. A good middle ground is to consider getting men’s hair highlights — that way you can still experience some change without changing your look completely. Here is our guide to the best blond highlights hairstyle ideas for men.

If you’re naturally brown haired, chances are that you have considered trying out a blond hairstyle at least once — it’s just so tempting. The good news is that it is relatively easy for men with brown hair to dabble in the lifestyles of the blond.

When choosing an appropriate blond hairlight, an ashy blond tends to look good with lighter or medium brown hair.

If your hair is on the darker side, it might be worthwhile to consider light brown highlights. This will give a lighter look without even making it obvious that you have dyed hair.

If you have black or very dark brown hair, you may think that the concept of blond highlights is not meant for you. However, you would be wrong. When embraced, blond highlights can look quite wonderful on black hair.

There’s one complication, though. Usually lightening hair this dark will require bleaching as well as dying. While it may seem tedious, the result of the contrast between your blond highlights and black hair can be stunning. Another creative option for black hair is silver highlights.
