Well they look sh�t, but apart from that I don't think there's anything a company could do if you did get them. No different from people getting a no guard all over...

They are wrong. End of story. Unless you're a girl, that is.

My missus had her hair cut and coloured yestereday and came home with black hair with pink streaks in it. Seriously. And she starts a new job on Monday. What a loon.

They look ok on some fellas, but would prefer natural colour!
Some fellas really over do it, but they are the ones who think they're gorgeous!!!

great for the girlies though, somethin else to spend our money on!

My one earns twice as much as I do. She can spend it on whatever she likes.

Highlights? Are you serious?

They're fine for the girls. And for guys who swing the other way, not that there is anything wrong with that.

Highlights are a great thing. As my mate Dillo would say, one should be prepared to splash the cash when it comes to these things. All I can say $Leon$ is: if you are considering getting highlights or already have them, don't be one bit ashamed. Never mind the peasants and begrudgers who cant afford them. If it is a case that you are geeting highlights remember to go to a top-market salon like Toni n Guy or Peter Marks. Otherwise you could end up looking like a Celtic supporter!

Personally, I believe anything that boosts a lad's appearance and confidence in dealing with wans (i.e girls) is worthwhile and if highlights do this then so be it. And God knows, a lot of us lads need every little helping hand available in this modern age, whether it be highlights, Vo5 Putty, the latest designer jeans or whatever else. There's no doubting, however, that only some lads can pull off the 'highlights' image.
Take for example, since Stephen Pearson's recent move to Celtic, I noticed he attempted getting highlights in his ginger hair...... but lets be fair goys, it just didn't happen for him. God loves a tryer though!

Compare him with his fellow teammate Stillian Petrov and we see there's only one winner in this situation! James Beattie and even our very own Robbie Doyle are other fine examples. As for Dessie Baker though, I really don't know what he's at!

The question of whether they 'look gay' or not is not up for debate in my opinion. It is irrelevant. As i've previously said, if they assist you in any way in 'pulling a wan' then it's money well spent. I agree with The Jamaican PM wholeheartedly when he states it is of utmost importance to get the job done with a quality stylist- Peter Mark or Tony and Guy would be my preferences.

It is well worth your while. After all, who wants to look like a Celtic supporter from Phibsboro may I ask?

Well said Dillo. Highlights are very much "in" at the moment. I think some of the older, old-fashioned, and less well-travelled on this site may find it difficult to grasp this concept but highlights are here to stay.
