Monochromatic locks do not surprise anyone these days. Highlights, balayage and color blocks are a different story. They refresh and update your hair color and add depth and texture to your hairstyle, giving your dark brown hair a sexy, glamorous flair. Playing with hair colors is fun when you entrust the job to a professional. However, when you go to a beauty salon, a stylist will ask what you actually want. This article will help you decide!

First of all, you need to decide what effect you want to achieve. Some women opt for subtle ombre or highlights that add a radiant shine to the base hair color and look very natural. Others prefer more pronounced color transitions or separate color sections, making each hairstyle sharper and more prominent.

Dark hair can benefit from color accents with contrasting shades, such as platinum blonde, deep red, copper, purple or lighter shades, such as caramel, walnut, bronze, toffee, etc. It is also very important to choose shades that harmonize with your skin tone. Bronze, copper and rich red shades make dark skin tones bloom and shine. A medium skin tone benefits from intense browns, copper tones and toffee. Fair-skinned beauties can use blondes, platinum, ash tones and lighter caramel shades.
