Copper highlights offer an easy way to add a splash of red to brown hair without bleaching it, creating the classic tiger eye look without needing bleached extensions. These cool-toned highlights brighten dark brunette locks for a timeless tiger-eye appearance.
If the thought of wearing dark cherry red but is too bold for work, try switching things up with mahogany balayage instead. It will provide you with a beautiful, natural-looking style that’s easy to grow.
Ginger
Ginger hair color is an ideal way to add some flair and brightness to any ensemble. Though not as vibrant as cherry red hues, ginger still works beautifully across any complexion. If you want to commit only partially, consider scheduling regular touch-up appointments; your stylist can keep the shade looking fresh without making it appear too dark or orange.
Lighter ginger hues are an excellent option for brunettes looking to lighten their red spectrum. A strawberry blonde-to-ginger balayage may provide the best of both worlds, perfectly complementing long, wavy, curly locks.
Vibrant cherry red
Vibrant cherry red pairs perfectly with fiery copper for an eye-catching, eye-framing combination that works beautifully for medium to dark skin tones. It will also look stunning on girls with light eye colors, such as blue-eyed beauty; adding face-framing highlights will further enhance this ensemble.
Balayage
Balayage is an innovative color technique that creates sun-kissed highlights without using bleach. It is a fantastic solution for brunettes who wish to lighten their locks without risking additional damage from multiple bleach applications.
Rich reddish brown balayage works wonders on deep brunettes. It adds fullness and enhances the natural golden highlights of your hair, making strands appear fuller while accentuating golden flecks in their entirety. This warm shade is an excellent option for middle-aged women and works particularly well with choppy layers, or an Afro-cut haircut.
Balayage can be more subtle than ombre, with only a few face-framing strands highlighted with caramel shades. This style is an excellent way to maintain dark roots but still add some lightness around your face or chin.
Chestnut
Lily Aldridge exemplified one of the most striking ways to wear chestnut hair with highlights by donning her locks in a dark-to-light gradient, creating an eye-catching and gorgeous style. Her chestnut brown strands were accented with coppery blonde highlights for a luxurious and flattering effect. If you want this look at home, try an at-home hair color gloss that can tone, protect, and increase shine while toning down its dark color to achieve something similar.
Softer versions of ombre are another great way to lighten chestnut brown hair without fully committing to change their hue. Your stylist will gradually fade your darker roots to light chestnut brown at the ends for an easy transition that will turn heads!
Opt for chestnut hair with bright blond balayage highlights to achieve an effortless beachy summer look. The more brilliant blonde adds dimension and complements all skin tones perfectly – ideal for beachy vacations!
Golden Blonde
If you want a soft blonde shade that appears natural and sun-kissed, choose this warm golden hair color with brown highlights. It suits most skin tones and won’t turn brassy or yellow as quickly. Ask your stylist to provide a dark root fade if you have darker roots. Additionally, for long-term maintenance of this golden blonde look, use a color-safe conditioner and mask twice weekly to maintain it.
If your hair is highly textured, try this elegant yet casual sock bun style for an eye-catching casual yet glamorous look. Add a beret or barrette for added color pop!
Give Farrah Fawcett-esque vibes with this stunning golden blonde balayage featuring chunky platinum highlights. To maintain healthy and robust blonde strands, use purple toning shampoo every other wash and bond-repair serum such as Redken K18 or Olaplex at least once monthly.
