Highlights

Strawberry blonde highlights can create a striking yet effortless style, adding vibrant pops of color to wavy brown locks and brightening up your complexion. Golden blonde highlights can add an elegant and glamorous look. Their natural colors perfectly accentuate your calm face and work well with any tans or suntans you possess. Red highlights can also make an excellent statement, provided they’re adequately applied by an experienced stylist who lightens your locks first so the red doesn’t “bleed” onto any blonde strands and cause unnecessary discoloration. Play with the placement of your highlights as you apply them, from thin highlights that appear natural to bolder streaks, adding drama. For an understated approach, lowlights offer an alternative that blends seamlessly with curly or wavy dark brown locks rather than standing out too much from their natural color.

Bangs

Half-blonde half, black hairstyles with bangs add a unique edge to your style and can soften harsh facial features, especially strong jawlines and elongated features. Long, messy bangs work wonders on strong jawlines when worn with medium-length, half-blonde, half-black locks. Ask your stylist about using balayage for an elegant twist on this trend. This technique allows the lighter shade to gradually blend with darker roots for an organic and subtle contrast that looks beautiful and natural. This half-blonde half-black look can work beautifully on any haircut style, but is especially noticeable if you sport a pixie cut or shag haircut. You could even accent double-colored strands by adding peekaboo highlights!

Ombre

This eye-catching ombre style combines rich, warm browns and vibrant blonde hues for an eye-catching, eye-pleasing contrast. This mahogany brown features violet and red undertones that perfectly complement the coppery strawberry blonde shade used to lighten midshaft and ends. More astonishing brunettes can also make a statement with this trend by employing an ombre color using an icy blonde hue as the bottom hue, which suits neutral skin tones and minimizes grow-out lines. Niecy Nash’s face-framing golden highlights are an impressive example of an ombre color combination. This ombre style requires two steps of coloring your hair: dying it dark brown first, then bleaching to create the gradient effect. Experienced stylists should be hired for this look to achieve its best impact.
