Embrace the natural color with a lighter shade of highlights

Instead of going for a full change in shades, embrace your natural hair colour. You can still get some highlights but choose a shade that’s only one or two shades lighter than your natural hair colour. This will give you a more subtle effect and is great for those who want to try something new but are nervous about changing their whole look.

What colours should I use?

If you’re going for this type of highlight then it really depends on what suits you best and there are no hard and fast rules here! If you have dark brown hair, then it might be easier to achieve this look by using caramel-y tones rather than blonde ones as they will stand out more against the colour of your base colour.

Give your hair a boost of caramel colors for a soft, sun-kissed look

To achieve this look, you need to go for a hair colour that suits your skin tone and the way you like to wear your hair. For example, if you have very straight hair and want to style it in a bob or shaggy style, caramel highlights will give it dimension. To achieve this look, ask your hairdresser for some caramel highlights through all of the mid-lengths and ends of your dark brown locks. This will give an overall sun-kissed effect without making the finished product too harsh or unnatural looking.

The result: A smooth transition between shades with caramel overtones that add depth and dimension throughout but aren’t so dramatic as “highlights”. The result? A soft sun-kissed look that’s low maintenance enough for everyday wear but still stands out against darker backgrounds (say at work).

Go with a warm bronze highlight to enhance your brown hair

To enhance your brown hair, you should go with a warm bronze highlight. A subtle or more extreme look can be achieved by using different colours of highlights in conjunction with each other. Bronze highlights are great for people with medium to dark shades of brown hair and it is easy to achieve this colour if you get the right products and tools.

  • First, use a blow dryer to blow dry your hair upside down as much as possible so that all the natural oils are removed from your hair shafts.
  • Next, apply Olaplex No 3 Bond Multiplier at room temperature onto damp strands of wet hair before combing through with a wide tooth comb or paddle brush (make sure not to use any heat). Leave this on while washing off excess water from the rest of your body! You can also leave this on overnight but beware because it may make your pillowcase greasy so just do what works best for you!
  • Rinse out after about 10-15 minutes then repeat steps 1 & 2 again without adding any additional products such as shampoo – just conditioner instead! After rinsing out well again make sure there’s not any trace left behind because otherwise it will turn blue when applying toners later on down below… Make sure there isn’t any residue left behind either…

Play up your summer look by adding blonde highlights to your brown hair

To add a summer glow to your brown hair, try blonde highlights. The right shade of blonde will complement your skin tone and allow you to play up your summer look.

To achieve the right shade of blonde, consider these tips:

  • Choose a color that is lighter than your natural hair color. Blonde highlights should not match the base color exactly; they should be slightly lighter or darker, depending on how dramatic you want them to appear. A colorist will help you select the right shade for your skin tone and lifestyle.
  • Use fewer colors than usual when highlighting dark strands with a new shade of blonde or brunette; this allows each highlight to stand out more effectively without looking artificial or obvious (which can look bad). If possible, have only one pastel-colored highlight per strand instead of multiple hues; otherwise it will be harder for anyone else but yourself (and possibly other women who’ve seen this before) to see which ones were put there by hand vs simply being part of an existing shadowing effect due outgassing from shampooing/conditioning sessions over time.”

Make sure you achieve the right highlight colour, so it looks like you have naturally highlighted hair.

The last thing you want is to look like you’ve taken your hair from brown to blond in one night, or vice versa. You need to ensure the colourist knows what they are doing and that they can get the right shade for you. Not all colours work on everyone, so make sure you find someone who is experienced in handling coloured hair and has a good eye for what suits you best.

It’s also important that your colourist uses good quality products and doesn’t cut corners by using cheap dyes or less than reputable brands of dye. If they do use cheap products, then it is likely they will cause damage to your locks over time because they contain chemicals that haven’t been tested properly before being used on people’s heads!
