Caramel Balayage for Brown Hair Highlights 2020

Need some hair color ideas that’ll complement your warm brown complexion? Take Selena Gomez as an example: her luxurious raven locks fade into an excellent chestnut color with subtle ashy bronde highlights, making for an eye-catching combination that perfectly flatters her warm brown complexion.

Hailey Bieber

Hailey Bieber wears her dark brown locks ablaze with playful light brown strands framed around her face by active light brown highlights that give the appearance of sun-kissed locks. For an easily replicated look at home, invest in an at-home highlighting kit containing shades lighter than your natural hue for best results.

Warm Brown hair with Molten Caramel Highlights

Caramel highlights are a warm and rich color that suits all complexions. Straight or wavy brown locks can use caramel balayage highlights in whatever way works for them; to show them off with shoulder-brushing bob hairstyles, for instance, ask your stylist to keep the highlights skinny rather than chunky to avoid streaky results and create the effect of molten caramel waterfall.

Violet Balayage

If you prefer a calm tone, violet balayage is needed to give medium-brown hair an eye-catching pop of color. It creates an exquisite blend of dark chocolate and light blonde hues, which stands out against cooler skin tones beautifully.

Babylights

Babylights can add a burst of brightness to your brunette mane with just the flick of a switch! This subtle highlighting technique utilizes small sections of light hair color to illuminate your face and shoulders – wearing this look with beachy waves can create a natural, sunlit aesthetic.

Honey Glaze Sombre Strands

Even though adding highlights to dark hair might seem counterproductive, using hues with subdued contrast can produce stunning results. Utilizing shades one to three shades lighter than your client’s base color will create an attractive honey-brown hue that looks fresh and healthy rather than brassy.

Cool-Toned Balayage

Dark-haired women have plenty of choices when updating their look with balayage. This trend offers an easy and versatile way to elevate your locks without going too light or adding too much contrast; darker tones that fade to a blackberry hue add depth, creating an autumnal vibe in your locks and adding dimension to the overall style.

Alternative Variation

For an alternative variation on this look, ask your colorist to blend caramel and brown-blonde shades into an unobtrusive yet natural-looking hairdo that suits all complexions – especially beautiful when worn in loose, beachy waves!

Cool-Toned Version

If you’re a brunette with cooler skin tones, why not try balayage? Balayage featuring brown and platinum hues works beautifully on all complexions – and is best suited to light, medium, or dark brunettes! For an on-trend look that stands out, consider this cool-toned version featuring darker roots shade of brown with light ash brown midshaft sections and thin ribbons of platinum at facial framing sections.
