1. Medium Brown Hair with Highlights

Medium brown hair with highlights is a great way to add dimension, color and fullness. Highlights can be subtle or dramatic, depending on how much of the hair you want colored. The natural sun-kissed look is very popular among women who want a little more flair without having to deal with damaging bleaching or dyeing their entire head of hair.

2. Medium Brown Hair with Platinum Highlights

To achieve this look, you will want to use a high-lift blonde or ash tone. If you are looking for some more warmth in your hair color and don’t want to go full platinum, try a medium brown hair with caramel highlights instead.

To maintain this style, make sure to keep your roots maintained and have them touched up every 6-8 weeks. Your stylist will also be able to give you advice on how often you should be getting a root touch up as well as letting you know which products work best on your hair type (whether it’s fine or thick).

If this is something that interests you but aren’t sure if it will work out for you then I would recommend doing an online consultation with one of our experts here at Hair By Shiela. We have over 20 years experience working with different tones and shades so we can help guide you through the process step by step making sure everything turns out exactly how we envisioned!

Some other names for this style include: Ash Blonde Highlights, Dark Chocolate Brown & Caramel Highlights

3. Medium Brown Hair with Caramel Babylights

This color is a great option for brunettes who want a subtle change. If you’re not quite ready to go blonde but want some lighter strands in your hair, this is the way to do it.

The babylights are super-thin highlights (like the ones pictured here) that are usually done on top of the head, with dark or medium brown as the base color. They work best when there is some contrast between your base color and your highlights, so I like this look on medium brunettes with a darker base color like medium brown. You can also do babylights with a lighter base if you want more subtlety in terms of difference between them; just make sure you have enough depth in your natural shade before going ahead with any kind of highlighting!

4. Medium Brown Hair with Subtle Highlights

Highlights can be a great way to subtly add more dimension to your hair without going for too dramatic of a change. Highlights are particularly good for those that want to make sure they’re making the right decision before going in fully. Also, if you have dark skin and light brown hair, it might not be best to go with something like blue highlights or red highlights because they could end up looking unnatural on your skin tone. Subtle highlights are also great for people who want a gradual change over time but don’t want anything so drastic that they need an appointment every three months just for touch ups (and maybe even more often than that).

Subtle highlights work best when paired with darker roots; this creates contrast between the two colors which makes them easier to see when mixed together at each salon visit (or home dye job)!

5. Medium Brown Hair with Chocolate Brown Lowlights

If you want to add more depth and dimension to your medium-brown hair, lowlights are the way to go. This style is ideal for those who want a darker color without committing completely to a deep brown hue. Lowlighted pieces of hair can be done by a professional or at home using clip in extensions or semi-permanent dyes that gradually fade over time (recommended for at-home application).

6. Medium Brown Hair with Dark Caramel Balayage

Balayage is a technique that involves highlighting hair with different coloring techniques for a more natural effect. Balayage is often used on medium brown hair because it can complement the overall tone of your hair.

Dark caramel balayage is gaining popularity in the world of hairstyles and color because it adds dimension to your locks without making them look unnatural or frosted. This style also looks great for brunettes who want to add some warmth but don’t want their strands to look too reddish or orangey like some other caramel styles might end up looking like.

How do you get dark caramel balayage? It’s pretty simple! First, you will need to prepare and outline your desired shape with chalk or pencil so that your stylist knows what they are working with before they begin dyeing your hair. Then they will apply highlights in one direction (usually all over) using tint brushes instead of foils so that only some strands get dyed at once—this means no harsh lines between colors! Lastly, after allowing each section enough time set up before washing out any excess dye, rinse thoroughly until water runs clear; then blow dry gently under cool settings until completely dry before styling as usual

7. Medium Brown Hair with Caramel and Honey Balayage

If you have medium brown hair and a warm skin tone, this hairstyle could be a great option for you. The soft, natural-looking highlights are created by using a balayage technique on your hair. This means that instead of having the stylist use an all-over coloring method like ombre or highlights, they will use their brush and spray bottle to create more of an ombré or highlight effect in different sections of your hair—which makes it look like the sun is hitting different parts at different angles. The balayage is done using a mix of caramel and honey colors to give them both warmth.

8. Medium Brown Hair with Chunky Highlights

Chunky highlights are one of the most popular medium brown hair color ideas, and for good reason. Chunky highlights can be made with any shade of blonde or brown, but they look especially nice when paired with a dark base tone. This is because chunky highlights have a softness that gives you dimension without looking too harsh or bright.

If you have medium brown hair and want to add some lightness to your strands, try adding a few strands here and there using small pieces of yarn or cotton thread in a range of blonde shades (from lightest at the top to deepest at the bottom). The perfect way to do this is by applying the dye directly onto each strand while still wet; once dry, you’ll be left with beautiful tones running through each piece. If your head isn’t quite ready for this level of commitment just yet then try doing half-inch sections first—they’ll still look amazing!

9. Medium Ashy Brown Hair with Vanilla Blonde Highlights

The medium ash brown hair with vanilla blonde highlights is a great color for those who want to add a bit of oomph to their hairstyle. This is a very versatile color, as it works well with cool skin tones, long or medium length hair, and fine or medium thickness.

If you’re looking for something that isn’t too dramatic but still has some edge, this is the perfect choice!

10. Medium Cool Chestnut Brown Hair with Ashy Blonde Balayage

Medium Cool Chestnut Brown Hair with Ashy Blonde Balayage

If you have cool skin tones and want to go a bit lighter, this is the perfect color for you. It’s an ash blonde base with lots of subtle caramel highlights that create a natural looking blend of colors. The best part? It’s going to flatter your skin tone like no other. Plus, it works well on all lengths and styles—you can wear it straightened or curly!

How to Get This Look:

  • First, visit your stylist for medium brown hair color that matches your natural shade closely (but not too closely). Once you’ve gotten the right base color, ask about adding in some light caramel highlights to help bring out the warmth of your complexion without making it look pale or washed out—look at images beforehand so you know what kind of shades will work best! Then wait two weeks before dyeing again to allow everything time enough time set properly into place; avoid washing more often than once every two weeks because chemicals used during processing can cause damage if they’re exposed frequently after application; wash only when necessary since frequent washing may cause buildup from product build-up which could lead towards scalp irritation later down the road if left untreated; always use products recommended by professionals such as shampoo/conditioner sold through reputable sources like salons themselves instead of generic brands found online due these products contain ingredients specifically designed for each person’s specific needs based on type/color pattern etcetera so please be patient when following instructions carefully

There are many different ways to get medium brown hair depending on your skin tone, hair type, and preference.

The versatility of medium brown hair is what makes it so popular. You can keep your natural color and add highlights, or add lowlights to brighten things up a bit. There are also many different shades of medium brown that look great on everyone! Your choice of color should be flattering to your skin tone and eye color, but you might want to go lighter or darker depending on how much sun exposure you get during the year. If you have dark brown hair, going lighter will make it easier for people to see your eyes; if you have light brown/blonde hair, going darker will give a more dramatic contrast with eye color as well as add richness and depth to your complexion (if it’s pale).

There are also several options for those who prefer colored hair: blonde highlights would look great for an all-over change; red highlights could add some warmth; and black lowlights can make grays disappear from sight while still having enough natural vibrancy left over so they blend seamlessly into any hairstyle (this option works particularly well if someone’s trying out different styles each day—they won’t need to worry about fading since they’ll just wash off at night).
