Light brunette hair color can be an effective transition hue for blondes wanting to explore brown or those with natural brunette locks looking for additional dimension. The pale brunette hue is flattering and easily refreshed using clarifying shampoo or purple conditioner at home.
Ombre Balayage Highlights
Ombre balayage offers a delicate way of lightening your locks without completely changing their texture, creating thin caramel ribbons throughout your locks. Ideal for brunettes looking to highlight their natural dark tone while still adding depth, this style pairs perfectly with beachy waves for an effortlessly romantic aesthetic.
This lovely balayage is an ideal option for brunettes who desire wavy locks. Beginning with stunning blonde tones at the top, this design transitions seamlessly into a warm honey-brown ombre fade at the bottom. To create this look, your stylist will freehand paint individual strands of your hair with color to produce a subtle, textured effect. After applying the hue, they’ll allow it to develop before rinsing it out and using any necessary toners (if needed) until the desired shade has been attained. Once your new hue is complete, your stylist will blow-dry it and style it according to your specifications – for maximum color vibrancy, use L’Oreal Professionnel Vitamino Resveratrol Duo Shampoo/Conditioner for the best results!
Blended Lowlights
Lowlights can help lighten blond hair without going completely dark, creating depth and dimension to make it appear more polished yet natural. A sun-kissed blonde mane adorned with subtle brown lowlights exudes youthful vitality and is ideal for spring. The soft golden hues work seamlessly into your natural shade for an attractive, smooth, radiant effect ideal for the season.
If you’re a brunette looking to experiment with blonde highlights, ask your stylist to use the babylights technique. This less-expensive form of highlighting involves painting small sections of hair with color applicators rather than foil wrapping and has lower risks of uneven results than foil wrapping. Additionally, for an easier transition towards lighter hues, use the L’Oreal Paris Superior Preference Balayage At-Home Highlighting Kit, equipped with a pull-through cap to ensure uniform hair coloring results.
Subtle Highlights
Light blonde highlights on brunette hair create an eye-catching dimensional effect, perfect for any complexion. From sun-kissed caramel shades that enhance beachy waves to rich golden honey hues that go perfectly with sweaters and turtlenecks in autumn, you cannot go wrong with this timeless look!
Nicole Richie can’t resist exploring lighter hues occasionally. This rich chocolate brown hue with honey highlights perfectly complements her warm skin tone while adding glamour to her seductive locks.
Smoky ash blonde color melts are another attractive way to highlight brown hair, although too much of this cool tone could cause your locks to look brassy or grey. Here, the stylist has applied light brown highlights sparingly – creating a natural effect while providing lots of shine and depth.
Ashen Highlights
Ash blonde is a stunning cool-toned shade that looks incredible on light brunettes. While ash blonde can help lighten and brighten hair, be wary not to go too far, as overexposure could wash out skin tones that complement it. Instead, use ash blonde balayage techniques for subtler results that won’t require time-consuming root regrowth treatment or worry.
Babylights offer another subtle highlight technique for adding depth to an ash-brown base. Simply blend a few lightening shades that complement the brunette hue to achieve this flattering effect and hide any gray roots or red or orange tones. It can even help cover up gray roots.
If you want a dramatic transformation, try darkening your strands with root stretch for a darker finish – this trend has proven popular among celebrities! If this darker shade doesn’t feel right, ask your stylist about brown-based bleach to tone down its effects before going in with this darker look.
