My cousin got the same highlights a while back and her’s turned out orange?? I would really like to get these highlights but I don’t want to risk getting orange streaky hair 
, I just would like some information on this please . Thanks <3.
u should ask a stylist who can actually see your hair in person. when hair is darker, it’s more and more likely that it needs to be stripped so that is can be colored properly.
