Solid brown hair is an elegant classic hue that compliments every skin tone. Ask your colorist to accent this style with natural caramel hues at the ends for an eye-catching sun-kissed effect. Alternatively, caramel balayage may be needed to lighten dark brown locks gradually and subtly for those apprehensive about going blonde altogether. Ask your stylist to only lighten face-framing pieces of your locks during their visit.
Rich Balayage
Dark brunettes will love this silky brown balayage idea that adds a soft dimension to their locks. Ribbons of caramel color bring an inviting warmth into their waves, while its subtler ombre style perfectly complements any length of hair. Warm copper highlights bring out the best of a darker brunette’s complexion, creating an eye-catching hue with many personalities that work beautifully with all hairstyles.
Reverse Balayage
Reverse balayage is an ideal look for summer. Starting with light sun-kissed blonde tones and gradually transitioning to darker brown tones, this style makes for an exciting change without being overly bold. It is an excellent option for ladies looking to add something new without causing an abrupt statement about themselves.
Mushroom Brown Balayage
This mushroom brown balayage may be needed if you have deep, cool-toned brunette locks! The soft, coppery blonde strands will create an eye-catching contrast against your natural hues while being easy on maintenance for a grow-out process. Furthermore, this style also works great for medium to dark blondes looking for a more excellent shade of brown!
Ribbons
Just as balayage burst onto the scene and became an evergreen trend, ribbon highlights are poised to follow suit and become equally beloved. Unlike the ombre trend, darker roots gradually transition into lighter ends, and ribbon highlights run the length of your strands, adding depth and dimension to solid brown locks. Whether thick or thinly painted, they add visual interest.

Golden Ribbon Highlights
Golden ribbon highlights weave around the roots on this rich mocha brown base to illuminate it in ways traditional balayage can’t. Thicker ribbons of highlights rise around the face while thinner strands of blonde shine down the rest of the strands.
Blonde Highlights
The shade of blonde used on brown hair can have an enormous effect. Warm auburn highlights are particularly effective at giving chocolate brown locks an airbrushed effect while placing these blonde strands at the roots gives volume and frames the face. On the other hand, platinum blonde highlights are perfect for creating sleek, straight styles on dark brown locks with balayage techniques.
