Nicole Richie
Blonde is one thing, and she makes her "love it" look work, but blonde with yellow and black stripes? Yikes! Not the prettiest way to enhance your style.

Rachel McAdams
For pink streaks, this "leave it" look isn't too bad. The pink almost blends in with the blonde. But we prefer Rachel with a more natural, golden hue.

K.T. Tunstall
The blonde streaks on either side of K.T.'s head look like clip-in hair extensions (hopefully they are). The less two-toned "love it" look is much more feminine.

Mischa Barton
Blonde, brown and even a hint of orange all make an appearance on Mischa's head in this "leave it" look -- and it's just too much. The brunette strands in her "love it" look are much more polished.

Rihanna
Maybe she was trying to evoke a cat-like vibe to match her leopard print dress, but these streaks are too costume-y. Her jet-black look works better with her edgy cut to keep the look from being too overdone.

Highlights are a perfect way to add dimension to your hair, making it appear full and vibrant. When done right, hair looks like it's been kissed by the sun. When done wrong, highlights can give hair a striped, skunk-like look -- not pretty. Check out our fave and least fave celebrity hair highlights, then offer up your opinion: Did they go too far or are their streaks just right?
