5 Examples of Brunette Hair With Highlights to Save For Later

To achieve this hair look, you'll want to ask for warm, light brown highlights on a cool chocolate base. "[It's] the perfect way to bring your brunette hair to life without being blond," Linsey Marmorato, an editorial and runway hairstylist from Honey Artists, tells POPSUGAR. "It adds a beautiful dimension and works well on all types of hair."

To lighten up your look, consider embracing a wheat blond highlight, which Marmorato believes is "perfect to brighten you up for spring." These highlights can work on a range of brunette shades from dark to medium.

No matter what your hair type or texture is, you can't go wrong with balayage. "If you want a change, but something super subtle, getting a highlight or balayage one to two shades lighter than your natural colour is a great idea," Marmorato says. "This will give you a beachy, sun-kissed look."

If you're looking for an example of light brown hair with highlights, look no further. Blond highlights on a light brunette base will never go out of style. If you want to go bolder, though, Marmorato says to incorporate a mix of warm or cool tones to complement your skin tone.

Don't want to commit to a full head of red hair? Test the waters out with copper or red highlights. Marmorato finds that this shade is perfect for a dramatic look and, when added to a brunette base, results in a copper sunset look.
