Bold Highlights for an Instant Transformation
Highlights are a quick way to change your look and add a pop of color. They also help reduce signs of aging, like dark circles under the eyes and fine lines around the mouth.
Adding Bold Red Highlights to Brown Hair
By consulting with your stylist, you can add bold red highlights to your brown hair using foiling or balayage techniques. These fiery streaks will act as accents of color to give your hair a vibrant look.
Chocolate Highlights for an Elegant Look
Chocolate brown hair is a versatile shade that can be paired with various kinds of highlights. Copper highlights add warmth and work well with both curly and straight locks. Lighter options, such as adding reddish hues, can give your hair a sun-kissed effect.
Cappuccino Brown Shades for Cool Skin Tones
Cappuccino brown shades are another great choice. This medium-dark shade complements cool skin tones and jewel-toned eyes. It looks fantastic on straight, wavy, or curly locks.
Subtle Face-Framing Caramel Highlights
Ask your stylist for face-framing caramel highlights if you prefer something more subtle. This highlight brightens up your complexion and gives you a gorgeous glow-from-within look. It’s also a great way to lighten your hair without committing to a new hue.
Lowlights for Dimension and Shadows
Lowlights add dimension to your hair by creating shadows. They are typically one or two shades darker than your natural color and can be achieved using foiling or balayage techniques. Blondes use lowlights to break up solid blocks of blonde, while brunettes use them to add depth and variation to their dyed locks. Lowlights are gentler on your hair than highlights because they don’t involve bleach.
Adding Variation with Light Brown and Dark Brown
Brown hair pairs beautifully with all shades of blonde and provides a smooth transition for going blonde. Lighter brown highlights look stunning when worn with dark brown hair and complement green eyes and olive skin tones. A chocolate balayage adds depth and dimension to your locks, giving them a sun-kissed finish. Chunky mocha highlights can instantly boost your wavy or curly locks. Pair them with a brown balayage to soften their impact, or opt for caramel balayage for a subtle look that blends seamlessly with your natural dark brown hair.
Ash-Blonde or Ash-Brown for a Natural Look
For natural-looking multi-tonal effects, ash brown is an excellent alternative to platinum for those with blonde hair. It is more flattering and warmer on most complexions. You can achieve this look with Color Touch or Koleston Perfect demi-permanent colors, using ribbons of ash brown lowlights throughout your locks. Ash brown highlights blend well with warm tones, giving you a balanced and natural result. They are also less likely to turn brassy, making them an excellent option for those who prefer a more subtle platinum highlight look.
Beautiful Mocha-Colored Highlights with Balayage
Create beautiful mocha-colored highlights using the balayage technique. This stunning mocha bob subtly contrasts cool, dirty ash blonde and dark brown tones. The highlights give a natural and eye-catching statement around the face, while the piece-y highlights create a more effortless and natural look.
