Highlights may be most often associated with blonde hair, but they’re not reserved exclusively for blondes. A few strategically placed lighter pieces can look just as gorgeous on brunettes, adding dimension and visual interest to otherwise solid color. Not to mention, the techniques to highlight brown hair are endless.
BROWN HAIR WITH BLONDE HIGHLIGHTS
Putting light blonde highlights on dark brown hair is a recipe for ending up with zebra-like stripes (not a great look for anyone), so this option is best for lighter-toned brunettes. Our Creative Stylists at Color Cafe suggest highlights that are only a shade or two lighter than your base — veering into the dark blonde territory — that will create contrast and dimension, without those unwanted harsh lines. You can also ask our stylists to do a root shadow, darkening the area right at the root ever so slightly, to make sure the grow out is beautiful and there are no stripes on top.
FRENCH BALAYAGE FOR BROWN HAIR
As compared to traditional foil highlights, French Balayage is a free-form, hand-painting technique that works especially well on dark hair. Since you don’t get as much lift, it creates a much more natural end result with a subtle grow-out. Because of that, you can go longer in between color appointments, between three to six months, saving you both time and money. French Balayage for brown hair is an especially good way to capitalize on one of the big hair color trends of going lighter and brighter around the hairline. It’s almost like contouring for your hair, bringing out your best features, while still looking soft and natural.
HOW TO TAKE CARE OF BROWN HAIR WITH HIGHLIGHTS
No matter which highlighting technique you choose, maintenance is essential to keep your new hue fresh, healthy, and strong. The cornerstone of that plan is a strong product regimen coupled with a few in-salon options. Here’s what you need to know.
WHAT ARE SOME OTHER TIPS FOR BROWN HAIR WITH HIGHLIGHTS?
Any hair that’s been highlighted is innately going to be more fragile and prone to damage. Swap your conditioner for a hydrating mask once a week to give your strands, particularly more brittle ends, a hefty dose of moisture and strength. Popping back into at Color Cafe for a demi-permanent gloss is another good option; this will refresh your tone and keep your color shiny, while still being very gentle on your hair.
