Coloring short hair with highlights is the easiest way to make it edgy and interesting. Whether you love your pixie cut or can't wait for your short hair to grow out, you can add highlights and lowlights to give your new hairstyle some depth, tone and texture. There are endless options, from traditional blonde highlights to bright pink or platinum. If you don't like them, you can easily color over them, but chances are you'll want to experiment with a different color every few months.

Chunky highlights like these were super popular in the '90s – remember the look of tightly defined highlights? You can also see that here, but much more subtle and therefore softer. Don't forget that '90s looks are back, so this could be your next hairstyle.
Never confuse brown with dull, especially when it comes to hair. Here, copper and caramel highlights brighten brown hair. These highlight colors would also look great on black hair, but they would stand out even more than they do here.
