Single-tone locks don’t surprise anyone today. Highlights, balayage and color blocks are another story. They refresh and update your hair color and add depth and texture to your hairstyle, endowing your dark brown hair with a sexy, glamorous flair. Playing with hair hues is fun if you trust the job to a professional. However, when you come to a beauty salon, a stylist is going to ask what you’d actually like. This article will help you decide! First of all, you need to decide which effect you’d like to achieve. Some ladies opt for subtle ombre or highlights which add radiant glints to the basic hair color, looking very natural. Others prefer more distinct transitions of color or separate color sections, making any haircut edgier and more prominent. Dark hair can benefit from color accents of contrasting hues, such as platinum blonde, deep red, copper, purple or lighter nuances, like caramel, walnut, bronze, toffee, etc. It’s also very important to choose the hues that will be in harmony with your skin tone. Bronze, copper and rich reds will make darker skin tones bloom and glow. Medium-toned skin will benefit from intense browns, coppers and toffee. Fair-skinned beauties can use blondes, platinum, ash tones and lighter caramel hues. Check out the collection of looks we’ve put together that showcase the latest dye trends for Dark Brown Hair.
