HOW TO HIGHLIGHT BROWN HAIR

HOW TO HIGHLIGHT BROWN HAIR, Need a kick to your brunette strands? Adding shades of caramel highlights is just the thing for you! They add definition to layers and curls, lighten your overall color, and add soft warmth to your look.  You can go bold, soft and subtle, or ombre’ to add that “special something” to your color. Color a new you by wearing brown hair with caramel highlights!

CARAMEL DREAM

Soft, medium-toned caramel highlights look amazing ribboning through rich chocolate brown hair. Keeping them separated gives curls lots of fun and interest too.

Best Skin Tone and Hair Type:

Medium skin tones that look great in warmer colors wear this rich shade best. Hair that is already a rich chocolate color is a great starting point to achieve this color.

Tip:

Caramel is one of those colors that everyone has a different idea of exactly what it is. Make sure to bring a picture to your color appointment to ensure you and your stylist are on the same page!

CARAMEL ACCENT

Soft brown hair color with added caramel accent highlights brightens the face and is a perfect year round color!

Best Skin Tone and Hair Type:

Lighter skin tones look best in this softer color, while hair that is starting a blonde to light brown is a good starting point to achieving this color.

Tip:

If you are going darker with blonde hair to this rich caramel hue, it is important to ask your stylist for the right shampoo and conditioner to keep your color. A lot of shampoos will quickly pull fresh color out of previously blonde hair. Sulfate-free, color safe shampoos are a must!

CARAMEL RIBBONS

Soft ribbons of caramel highlights that are heavier around the face look amazing paired with a rich dark brown.

Best Skin Tone and Hair Type:

Medium to dark skin tones that look great in warmer colors are perfect for this hue, while hair that is naturally dark brown provides a perfect canvas for these face framing highlights.

Tip:

Keeping long hair shiny and healthy can make your color go from nice to fabulous! Adding a deep conditioning treatment weekly or bi-weekly to your hair maintenance schedule makes a huge difference. My favorite is Pravana’s NEVO 60 Sec Deep Treat. In only one minute, hair is super soft and shiny!

MULTI-FACETED CARAMEL

Adding multi-tonal caramel highlights to brown hair adds richness and dimension that commands attention!  It looks great curled, straight or pulled up as seen in this formal style.
