Subtle Highlights for Dark Brown Hair
1. These caramel ends will mean #twinning with your favorite fall latte.
The secret to subtle highlights is remaining close enough to your natural hair color for just a little bit of added dimension and playfulness. These tasteful caramel colored strands are especially vibrant in the sunlight. For extra shine and a touch of gloss, try Suave Professionals Sleek Anti-Frizz Smooth & Shine Cream.
2. Extra dark to extra light, when you just can’t choose.
There’s something undeniably classic about rich brunette hair and the depth of untouched dark roots. The contrast of lighter brown hair that transitions into super pale ends preserves the natural color. Plus, it’s still fun!
3. Try ombré ends until your next trim.
Were you looking for subtle highlights because you’re not sure you can commit to all-over color? That Instagram-worthy ombré fade from dark to light is in order. Keeping it to the bottom two to three inches of your hair means that the color is gone with your next trim. Intent on keeping your length for as long as you can? Wash and condition with Suave Professionals Damage Resist Shampoo and Conditioner, to help hair become stronger and healthier after just three uses.
4. Try out the queen of subtle highlights, a.k.a: balayage hair.
For that boost of color confidence visible out of the corner of your own eye, try full-on balayage. An instant glow and the perfect complement to your leftover summer tan, this option brings you out of the ‘dark brunette’ camp without forcing you to change your emoji keyboard settings to blonde. #Priorities
5. Focus the color toward the front of your face.
Keep subtle highlights extra subtle by only focusing them toward the front of your face. This will make your style look more natural and sun-kissed. It’s extremely low commitment and does a great job of framing your face.
