Add highlights to your brown, dark hair
Adding highlights to your brown, dark hair is a small detail that can significantly impact how it appears and stands out! From natural highlights to bold streaks, these captivating hues will transform the way it seems and leave it looking gorgeous and breathtaking!
Warm Copper Highlights
Add warmth to your brunette locks with warm copper highlights for added texture and dimension. These lovely hues work especially well against warm skin tones, making a long bob cut look beautiful!
Chestnut Brown Highlights
Chestnut highlights can add depth and dimension to a dark brown shade. Examples include Janet Mock’s classic old Hollywood waves or Olivia Culpo’s reddish chestnut hue. Flock towards natural brown hues with chestnut highlights to simulate sunlight on your locks. This warm yet low-maintenance look makes it the ideal transition color between no highlights and complete ombre treatment.
Honey Highlights
Depending on your brown shade, adding rich honey highlights could add depth and dimension. Your colorist could implement them through soft balayage or gradual ombre to achieve this subtly and live-in look, reducing maintenance over time.
Medium Brown Highlights
Highlights can effectively lighten naturally medium brown locks without creating the brassiness associated with going blonde while still adding dimension and body to your facial-framing locks. Try this soft, medium balayage style, complete with a layered haircut to ensure density at the ends. Kate Middleton wears this creamy milk tea shade with subtle peanut highlights beautifully, which complements pale complexions like hers. Use anti-frizz products from Label M to keep this cool brunette shade looking healthy and shiny.
Dark Chocolate Highlights
If you prefer subtlety, opting for a chocolate brown hue with natural undertones is an excellent choice. It complements all complexions without making light colors seem more muted or dark ones appear dull. Highlights can be a quick and effective way to brighten the color of dark hair, such as that of Taylor Hill here, without harsh dyeing techniques. Consider going with subtle gradient highlights as Taylor Hill did, or opt for more dramatic curtain bangs with more dramatic highlights. To keep your locks lustrous and free of frizz, look for shampoos that promote shine while simultaneously combating frizz. Our recommendation: the Love Beauty and Planet Murumuru Butter
