How to Get Hair Dye Streaks for Boys
Highlights have been popular with women ever since Audrey Hepburn showcased her caramel blond highlights in her brown locks for "Breakfast at Tiffany's" (this was in 1961 when she, with the help of Givenchy, also made the little black dress a fashion must). Today, not only do women still love to add streaks of color to their hair, but men and boys alike do this as well. Highlighting can be quite expensive, and has to be done regularly to keep up on the look. If a young man or boy is looking to just have some fun while on summer vacation, try highlighting the hair for him. It will cost less and you'll get the same results as if paying a professional to do it. Does this Spark an idea?
