Doing this will keep your hair color looking natural and youthful. Since the fine hairs around your hairline soak up dye quickly, you could end up with a stark, wig-like line around your face if you don’t go a little lighter.  Whatever the shade is at the back of your head, use a dye that’s two shades lighter for your hairline. Your hairline is the fine hair closest to your face and stretches from ear to ear. One-dimensional, monotone hair color is unflattering and aging, regardless of the hue. Multidimensional hair color looks youthful and more natural. Adding subtle highlights can give your hair more dimension. Go for warm, buttery and caramel tones, not cool or ashy tones, to create a sun-kissed, youthful look.  Avoid stripy, conspicuous highlights, which look very unnatural.  Super light highlights should also be avoided, since these can create a “frosty” effect and add years to your appearance. Lowlighting is the exact opposite of highlighting – the process involves dyeing darker streaks into your hair, which creates even more dimension. A good approach is to have the majority of your hair dyed a very rich hue that’s close to your natural color. Then add highlights that are one shade lighter than that hue and lowlights that are one shade darker.  Lowlights should be done by an experienced hair stylist, since the process isn’t easy to replicate at home. If you aren’t sure how to choose the right highlights and lowlights, bring three pictures of hair color you like to your next salon appointment. Your stylist can work with you to choose the right shades. Highlights and lowlights will add lots of dimension to your hair, but for best results they should be placed strategically. The brightest highlights should frame your face and “kiss” the top of your head. The darkest color needs to be underneath the majority of your hair. Face-framing highlights will look more youthful because they add brightness and warmth to your complexion. They also look very natural.

Summary:
Go two shades lighter around the hairline. Get subtle highlights in warm tones. Make sure you have highlights and lowlights in your hair. Frame your face with the lightest highlights.
