If you don't want to bleach your hair, there's no way to get white streaks unless you do something like chalking. It's good that you're interested in a deeper color because any deposit only dye you put over brown hair will end up dark.
Hey guys. I realized last time I finally have a courage to dye my hair some crazy colour. And I still don't know what I wiuld like the best for me! I want some deep, preferably colder colour, like navy blue, bloody red or aubergine.. I have also considered adding few white streaks (just got inspirated with Sweeney Todd movie, lol ) then add maybe another colour of streaks to create some interesting subtle effect? What do you think would suit me? I have mid-brown hair, as you can see on my profile picture. Oh, and I don't want to bleach ALL my hair definetely.

Routine for my dyed mid back length hair: shampoo and condition twice a week, with Alterna Kendi Dry Oil Spray all over and shea butter on ends and lightly on length as leave-ins on wet hair, and blow dried with a Sedu on low heat
Yes I know, I'm fine with bleaching only a few streaks to get white, I just don't want to remove all my natural colour permanently

Bleaching can be difficult if you want to get all the way to stark white. I'd rec getting it done professionally if you can. But if not there are plenty of people who manage to do it successfully on their own-- I'm not one of them tho LOL. When I tried to do it on my own I had to stop at light orange because my hair was turning to straw. When I had it done in a salon, it was fine tho.

What about putting in some cool streaks in your natural hair, and getting some clip-ins in white?

It's a nice idea. But I am afraid if somebody would see it's artificial. Still it's an option

Heres a video about going white entirely, but of course, follow these sorts of instructions for just the streaks if you do it.

Clip ins means less commitment however

Wow, that's really helpful! Now I am convinced to get colour streaks and buy white clip-ins. However I'm still choosing colour any suggestion?

It's hard to tell from a black and white photo, but if your hair is as dark as it looks, you'll have to do some kind of lightening to get anything approaching "crazy" colors. In my experience with deposit-only dyes like Manic Panic over brown hair, I can get sort of highlights, and an overall tone of blue or red, but in no way would I describe it as particularly bright or vivid. I liked it, though!
