8 Gorgeous Types of Hair Highlights You Can Try at Home

Perfect for brunettes, the ash brown balayage hairstyle creates a soft, settling, and natural look. The Excellence Ash Supreme Brunette Ash will help you achieve this without much maintenance as other colors.

2. Golden Bronde Colormelt

Having blonde hair highlights will give you that sun-kissed look, while the brunette will add warm shades to your hair. Achieve this look with the Excellence Fashion Ultra Lights Golden Brown!

4. Black Hair with Gray Highlights

Want to make a modern, glamorous, trendy, and chic impression? Black hair with gray highlights can brighten your look and add variety to your strands. However, with gray highlights being hard to maintain, remember to highlight from the roots. With the Excellence Ash Supreme in Smoky Ash, you can achieve up to 3 times the tone lift for darker hair to help you stay on-trend.

5. Thin Beige Highlights for Brown Hair

Classic, timeless, low maintenance, and minimal—with thin beige highlights for brown hair, you can make hair highlights look as subtle as possible! Thin fine strands of beige blend seamlessly into the hair. You only have to go a couple of shades lighter, and that is more than enough to give your hair a glorious shine.

6. Black Hair with Brown Highlights

Tired of having flat and lifeless hair? To have volume and dimension, brown hair highlights on your black strands will give you that effortless, just-woke-up-but-so-flawless vibe!

7. Golden Highlights for Black Hair

Magnificent, bold, beautiful—golden hair highlights give this effect and brighten your hair, too! Black and gold make a perfect match, giving you a glamorous look. Get the carefree, YOLO look by using a shade of gold for highlights from your ear to the ends of your hair. But, if you want to achieve a fancy, celebrity look, start highlighting near the roots.

8. Light Highlights for Brunette Hair

Still want that dark color with your brunette hair? You can highlight a tiny bit or two shades lighter to give you that dreamy and wispy effect. Experts recommend focusing your highlights mid-length to the ends of your hair.
