Ask your stylist to add golden brown balayage highlights if you have long brown hair. This shade works well on most skin tones and brings warmth and dimension to brunette shades.
Chestnut brown hair looks stunning on everyone, and vibrant dark chocolate shades like this one worn by Kiera Knightley for an ultra-chic and versatile look.
Chocolate Brown
Rich chocolate brown hair color boasts an eye-catching natural shine that flatters all skin tones, complementing brown eyes beautifully while complimenting all hair lengths and lengths. From solid chocolate brown hues to subtle highlights, chocolate brown makes a fantastic style choice for medium to thick locks – pair it with invisible layers or face-framing pieces for an opulent finish!
For an alternative take on chocolate brunette hair color, honey balayage could be needed. This color technique combines open-air highlighting with clay-based lighteners for subtle transitions of tones and gorgeous pops of dimension without damaging your natural hue.
Blonde Brown
Brown hair colors pair beautifully with shades of blonde, from chic and cool ashy hues to warm gold tones that highlight bouncy waves and curls. A balayage technique offers natural-looking colors that are simple to maintain between appointments.
Nothing says “it girl” like a lush, dark chocolate brown hue with golden blonde highlights that frame the face and the eyes. This style works for all complexions and eye colors, providing more vibrant highlights that create an enhanced, healthy-looking glow. Ask your stylist to add platinum blonde streaks so you can test out this trend without making an all-over commitment.
Disconnected Curtain Bangs
Alternatively, ask your stylist for long face-framing layers that create the same curtain fringe effect. For an effortless half-up half-down style that lasts all day long, use Monoi Prepare Protect Styling Milk as a styling serum to maintain smooth locks throughout.
Opt for layered curtain bangs with flipped-out ends for an effortless boho style with low maintenance requirements. This look works on all hair lengths and textures and looks even better when texturized with Redken Triple Dry 15 Dry Texture Finishing Spray.
If you want a curtain bang cut, be sure to bring an image of what your desired style should be to your salon appointment. This will enable your stylist to better understand what you want done without cutting too much off from the front of your head.
Elegant Waves
Lighten your brown locks by mixing soft honey and caramel shades for a warm look. This contrast works best on medium skin tones and complements various brunette locks.
Dark brunette locks can be incredibly chic when styled with cool undertones, like Shay Mitchell’s, that give them a natural shine. Her cool hue gives her locks an earthy shimmer that will grab attention.

Fine Brown Hair
Brown hair that’s thin and fine can still look full and fabulous with strategically applied highlights. Please speak to your colorist about adding subtle face-framing blonde streaks for extra volume in your locks, making them appear fuller and thicker.
If you aren’t quite ready to commit fully, consider adding cool ash highlights and baby lights in medium brown hair for an eye-catching multidimensional effect. In between retouches, use blue shampoo to keep brass at bay – and look out for any brassiness coming through your dark base color!
Show your stylist a picture of your desired highlights to help them craft an exquisite style tailored to you. Light brown balayage looks particularly striking on curly brunettes with a warm, shimmery shine.
Balayage
If you want to add subtle highlights without going too blonde, ashy platinum streaks in balayage style could be just what’s needed to give your locks a fresh, modern look that works on most skin tones.
Balayage highlights pair perfectly with darker mocha or bronzed chocolate hues for seamless results that add dimension and dimension. Green eyes look great against this shade, while its natural look complements brunettes beautifully.
