Experimenting with our look is always a fun way to bring change into our lives or celebrate what has already changed. Whether you just experienced a break up, started a new job or want to experiment with color during college or in your rocker phase, hair has always been the ultimate look changer for many. There are an infinite number of ways to style our hair from changing up the color, the style, the cut to give you a whole new look and vibe that is fresh and cool. Read on to find the most iconic color combo, the brown hair with blonde highlights look, for your hair color and skin tone, to give you the perfect golden, sun-kissed color all summer long.

Long Blond Ombre Bob

This cut is perfect for women who want to sport a medium length haircut and want to have the effect of blond highlights in blond hair. The color starts as a dark brown at the root, then transitions to a medium brown in the middle and then a bleached/honey blond at the tip.

Ashy Blond and Honey Streaks

These highlights combine all shades of blond hair dye from honey, to caramel, to an ashy blond. This color is great for girls with naturally dark hair that want to slowly transition to a lighter shade.

Ashy and Honey Highlights

These highlights offer a subtle but textured color to your light brown hair that is just enough to switch up the shades and is the perfect transition shade from light brown to blond.

Platinum and Honey Blond Highlights

These highlights are a great combination for naturally light to medium brown hair and have both honey and platinum blond hues to them. These highlights give the hair a soft blond color and texture.

Toned Balayage

This look is what I like to call the professional-looking balayage because you can clearly see the golden blond and honey blond highlights peeking through a toner that has softened the look just a bit. You still get the effect of a balayage dye but are not looking too crazy with colors at your job.

Caramel Balayage

This dye job is also very professional-looking for girls with longer, naturally dark brown hair and want to add some sunshine and texture without going too overboard with the golden streaks.

This ashy look is perfect for a grungy feel and style and is a great way to add texture to your hair without going too overboard with color. Try out this look on long hair or with some extensions for endless textured waves.

Ashy Extensions

If you love the look above but have a bit shorter hair, try out some ashy highlighted extensions that will give you the soft, textured waves you have alway dreamed of.

Ashy Highlights on Dark Brown Hair

For women with darker hair, this is your go-to look for achieving a soft blond color. Stick to more of an ashy color to begin with so your hair does not look too over processed with lighter shades on a darker on. This look is perfect for thick layered hair that will blend in well with your natural color.

Honey Face Framing Highlights

These honey highlights are the perfect look to frame your face and bring out your face shape and bone structure. This shade of highlights also works well on naturally dark brown hair.

Bronde Balayage

If you want to bring texture to your hair or do not want to stray too far away from your natural color, experiment with a bronde look that has different shades of brown, the lighter being closest to a dark brown shade.

Ultra Light Full Head Highlights

This is the perfect look for light brown-haired girls that want a full head of platinum hair. Work with ashy and light tones to get this ultra light hair style.

This blond highlights look is inspired by Rachel’s hair from the show Friends. These are full head golden highlights and are perfect for a sun-kissed look.

Soft Caramel Ombre

This is a very subtle ombre color and works well on dark brown hair to add some color and texture for the summertime.

Ashy Ombre

This ashy ombre look is for women with naturally ashy brown hair and is a subtle way to pull off the ashy ombre look by incorporating greys and platinum streaks.

Honey Balayage

This look is an all over honey balayage with no other blond colors to bring a sun-kissed and beachy color to dark brown hair.

Honey Face-framing Highlights Wig

If going all out with your hair color is not something you want to take the plunge for yet, consider investing in a wig to try out a different wig. This one is face framing and ashy for a subtle blond highlights look.
