10. Add Face Framing Balayage
Go from blah to bold with this soft, blended dimension. You’ll love this if you’re after a more dramatic update that adds plenty of interest to your style.
11. Blend Warm Almond Lowlights In
Foilyage is like the love child of foil highlights and balayage. This technique uses foils to create precise, almond-toned highlights, but applies them in a more freehand, balayage-inspired pattern. The result? A beautifully blended look with plenty of dimension. You’ll adore this if you want the precision of foils with the natural-looking placement of balayage. It’s especially stunning on longer hair, where the blend of colors can really shine.
12. Lighten with Wispy Beige Lights
Sometimes, all you need is a subtle lightening to breathe new life into your ashy light brown. This technique involves adding delicate, barely-there highlights in a soft beige tone throughout your hair. The result is a gentle lift that looks incredibly natural – like your hair has been kissed by the sun. You’ll love this if you want to brighten up your look without committing to a dramatic change.
13. Mix a Slate Mocha Blend
If you’re ready to go darker, this one is for you! A slate mocha blend combines the cool tones of slate with the rich depth of mocha for a truly unique take on ashy light brown. This technique involves blending these two shades throughout your hair, creating a multifaceted color that’s both cool and rich. It’s perfect if you want to add some depth to your ashy tone without going too dark.
14. Weave a Pearly Chestnut Pattern
Think of this as your ashy light brown hair’s glam makeover. A pearly chestnut weave adds ribbons of cool-toned, slightly iridescent chestnut throughout your base color. The result is a subtle shimmer that catches the light beautifully. You’ll adore this if you want to add some sophistication to your style without going over the top.
15. Gloss with Ashy Toffee Tones
An ashy toffee gloss is like a sweet treat for your hair – minus the stickiness, of course. This technique involves applying a semi-permanent gloss in a cool toffee tone over your ashy light brown base.
