About This Quiz

Hair: Can't live with it; can't live without it. Well, some individuals actually get on quite well rocking the ol' cueball look, but most people prefer a little (or a lot) up on top. Whether it's long or short, curly or straight, a wig or the real deal, your hair is an expression of you. It's easy to forget about it when you're always throwing it up in a ponytail or tucking it under a baseball cap, but your hair and the way you style it is an opportunity to show off your personality. 

Blonde, brunette, redhead: many people won't look beyond their primary hair color. But, any stylist worth their weight in hair trimmings (yuck) should encourage you to expand your horizons. Highlights are the perfect way to exhibit your awesome inner personality outwardly! While some people might turn to Pinterest for hair inspiration or ask their stylist to "do whatever," neither is the best approach for choosing your new look. Instead, take this quiz to discover what color highlights are a match for your personality. Is it the same color you been doing for years or something you've never considered? Before you run out to the salon, send this quiz to your friends and help them identify their perfect shade, too!
