Highlights can add depth and dimension to your style if you have long, dark hair. Finding the ideal shade will also transform its natural hue into something stunning from day to night. Highlighters are a perfect solution for women looking to experiment with fashion colors without making long-term commitments. Try pink or bronze highlights for an easy, low-maintenance look.
Light brown balayage
Light brown balayage is an ideal option for brunettes who desire subtle change, as it complements many skin tones seamlessly and gives a natural, low-maintenance look. This two-tone wavy bob is an outstanding example of how light brown balayage can transform an otherwise classic platinum blonde into something with more edge and dimension. The warm tones work exceptionally well when contrasted against dark brunettes, while neutral hazelnut highlights highlight your best features.
Try soft honey brown balayage if you prefer an ashy look for your locks. The subtle hints of lighter color add a nice contrast against your dark base color, and the face-framing highlights give a beautiful glow.
Black balayage
Choosing a stylish shade of balayage to transform dark hair can create stunning effects. Choose subtle tonal differences by opting for shades just a couple of tones lighter than your natural color, or go for dramatic effects with warm brown highlights, such as chestnut strands with golden caramel or copper highlights that contrast beautifully. These results are sophisticated yet glamorous – the ideal combination for the fashionista looking to remain effortlessly chic.

Sun-kissed baby lights
Babylights are the newest (and subtlest) approach to hair color highlighting, mimicking lighter strands seen in children’s locks by seamlessly incorporating them into your natural base tone, giving your locks a sun-kissed glow.
Babylights may resemble balayage in appearance but require less maintenance overall due to only lightening and coloring fragile sections of hair at once – meaning when their color fades over time, there won’t be an obvious line dividing each area – although it should still be renewed every eight-10 weeks for best results.
Espresso brown with light brunette highlights
Honey balayage on dark brown hair creates an exquisite sun-kissed effect with minimal upkeep required. Your stylist will hand paint each strand for seamless results that gradually grow out with no discernible boundaries between sections of color and unpainted areas.
Brunette highlights are an ideal solution to make any updo a work of art instantly. Their adaptable nature means they pair effortlessly with any shade ranging from rich toffee to blonde ribbons. When combined with face-framing strands, brunette highlights will instantly brighten up any complexion and elevate every updo to an art piece!
For an espresso with subtle caramel highlights, your stylist will fade your roots to a deep cappuccino hue before lightening mid-lengths and ends for a beautiful multi-hued finish. This dramatic look is ideal for those seeking something beyond their natural shade without going full-blown.
Voluminous waves
Opt for voluminous waves for added texture and volume if you want to add drama and volume to your locks. Finish this style off with light-hold hairspray to secure them into place.
If your hair is medium brown, use the balayage technique with copper highlights for an eye-catching pop of color to complement warm skin tones. This gorgeous shade will keep you looking your best all season long.
