I'm thinking about in January (I just colored my hair 2 weeks ago), putting in some caramel brown (light caramel brown shade) in my hair by that time.

Is that a pretty color on dark hair? Would it go through?

Are you interested in whether it looks good or whether a guy will like it? I have dark hair and I get naturally sunbleached streaks during the summer and the ladies seem to like that. However, I wouldn't care if my girlfriend's hair had streaks and I would probably wonder why she wasted her money on it.

Well, I'm doing it for myself, but I like if a man likes it too. If it looks good to everyone.

Yes, last year at about this time I put some caramel highlights in my almost black hair. The highlights were medium size, not wide and not too thin. It looked really good. It gave dimension to my hair, from far it would still look like my hair is really dark, but when you get closer you would see these subtle streaks in them.

For the most part, noticable highlights on dark hair will all turn a warm caramel color. I have asked for soft (cool)light brown before, but they were always caramel when my hair was dark brown-that's just the color the bleach lifts them to.

I think its fun to add weave highlights to brunette hair, and even when you color over them, your hair will still pick up a range of tones if you don't apply the color in a heavy manner. Mine are all grown out and and the back to school budget means no hi-lites.
