My hair is naturally dark brown and I want to get pink highlight or tips. Tips seem a better idea because if I can hate it I can cut it off. I know pink fades is there anyway to prevent that? any ideas? warnings? I could get pink extensions instead? just shooting for ideas. My hair is just below shoulder length and needs a style to go with the color help???

You should get pink extensions, it's much safer and looks better!

I got pink highlights once and it was a hot mess! It would have looked really great if not for the fact that the stylist who did it for me pulled my hair through a cap - as normal highlights often are. It wasn't the look that I was going for at all. It blended in too much and I had wanted the pink streaks to kind of stand out more.
I'd suggest - if you decide to get pink highlights instead of using hair pieces - that you have your stylist (or whoever's highlighting your hair) FOIL them in. And even then I wouldn't do very many to start out with (incase you don't like it) and I would take the hair in small, chunky sections and add color. And I would only do the top layer of hair or so.
Also, with dark brown hair it could be hard to get the desired pink you want. I have blonde hair, so it was really easy for me. However, people with dark hair typically have to bleach the intended area before dying their hair a lighter color - so I would check with your stylist on that.
Good luck!

I've highlighted my hair pink before. I wouldn't quite say I regretted it, but I admit, I did feel stupid at times because the color didn't match me at all. My hair is also naturally dark brown, and I don't think hot pink goes well with it. Another thing to consider is your skin color. Also, your satirical style may not go well with it either. Dying the tips only is not a bad idea... just not in pink. You want something different? Go with the extensions. Good quality ones can be pricey and require some work every time you use them, but you can make it worth it.
If you're absolutely sure you want to go with the pink, know that it will fade no matter what. Like these lovely ladies above me mentioned, you WILL need to bleach your hair before dying it that hideous color. The lighter your hair is, the louder the color will be, but of course, I didn't need to tell you that, right?
