- Wintercharacterized by a light shade that resembles burnt straw.
Before choosing a specific color for highlighting, you need to figure out which particular color type a girl (brunette, blonde, etc.) belongs to and then select the best option. If the lady is characterized by a winter tint, then highlighting in cold tones is the ideal solution. For example, staining in platinum color looks quite stylish and beautiful.
