Your medium-length dark hair is gorgeous on its own, but it becomes even more striking when combined with an accent hue of fiery hue. A vibrant hue will highlight the beautiful tones in your dark brown locks while giving your style an added pop of personality.
Try golden or toffee hues that match your skin’s warm undertones for natural-looking highlights that won’t overdo it.
Blonde Highlights
If you’re a brunette looking to lighten your locks, blonde highlights are an effective solution. Various shades of blonde highlights offer unique contrast; for instance, an icy blonde shade features silvery undertones to complement cool undertones, while warm bronze hues bring in warmth with their brown undertones.
Blonde balayage is an increasingly popular highlight technique that can be customized to your style and level of maintenance. From subtle face-framing blonde streaks to a full head of blonde highlights, there is something to fit everyone here.
For an effortless lightening option, consider caramel or honey balayage for subtler lightening of your locks. These warm tones flatter most skin tones and will create an authentic sun-kissed effect. Or try going darker by trying chocolate or toffee brown shades.
Long Bangs
Add long side-swept bangs to your shoulder-length hair for an alluring feminine style. These face-framing waves draw attention directly to the eyes and cheekbones – an effect that works exceptionally well if your face is round, diamond, or heart-shaped.
If your medium-length hair looks flat and lifeless, add bangs for volume. This edgy style will frame your face beautifully while not needing too much upkeep – get regular trimmings of strands for the best results!

This look will instantly brighten your face and draw focus to your eyes while helping conceal long foreheads.

Women with medium-lengthmedium-length hair can sport armpit-length locks while maintaining an aesthetically pleasing silhouette with proper styling techniques, making this classic length the ideal candidate for numerous color techniques highlighting signature hues.
Combining natural curls with a layered cut is one of the easiest ways to elevate shoulder-length hair.

To give this style even more drama, add longer curtain bangs.
