1. Dark Brown Hair w/ Blonde Highlights

This look injects some life into dark chocolate brown locks using thin, very subtle blonde highlights. The touches of blonde catch light in a way flat brown hair can’t.

2. Short Brown Hair w/ Blonde Highlights

Short hair doesn’t mean boring! And this cool-toned brown bob got some cool-toned blonde to match, making it a perfect sandy color.

3. Sandy Brown Hair w/ Blonde Highlights

It’s hard to go wrong with sandy brown hair unless you’re leaving it flat in color. Inject some personality into the beige tone with blonde highlights that match the neutrality of the sandiness.

4. Brown to Blonde Ombre | Blonde Highlights w/ Brown Hair

The ombre hair color still wows us with many different but beautiful colors. For brown hair, changing it to a blonde ombre looks seamless than changing it from brown to red.

If you don’t want a big transition, you can try this ombre style. I suggest that you combine the blonde highlights with the blonde ombre. For a more flowy effect, the highlights should start with the brown roots and go down into the gradient color.

5. Balayage Bob | Blonde Highlights on Short Hair

Do you sport a bob? If you do, are you not switching hairstyles anytime soon? If you agree to both, then this blonde balayage is the perfect color for your bob!

Please do not believe people who tell you that highlights do not look great on short hair. Truth is, highlights look great on any hair as long as they’re done right!

For ladies with a bob haircut and brown hair, tell your stylist to create blonde streak highlights on a brown base. This hair color will also add dimension to a short sleek bob and will definitely look great in both straight and curly hairstyles.

6. Platinum Blonde | Blonde Highlights on Light Brown Hair

Platinum blonde is an intimidating color to wear especially if you have dark brown hair. At first glance, platinum blonde on dark hair feels like it’s too loud or too attention-seeking. But for hair experts, you have to use this contrast to your advantage.

If you’re feeling courageous and want to try platinum blonde highlights, do a mix of ash and platinum highlights instead. The beautiful contrast will be there and the combination of colors will mesh better in each passing day.

7. Frontal Highlights | Blonde Highlights on Black Hair

We all know that highlights add to the dimension of any hair and they give “oomph” to any hair color. But do you know how frontal highlights can impact your overall look?

I know frontal highlights aren’t for everyone because they’re a bit daring to pull off. But, if your stylist is familiar with your face and its features, he/she can create frontal highlights to accentuate your facial features! And, with blonde frontal highlights, your face will light up!

8. Chunky Highlights | Blonde Highlights on Dark Brown Hair

I don’t know about you, but when I get highlights, I like them really thin. I feel like thinner highlights work better when blending in with the other colors.

But since we’re speaking of contrast, I’m also thinking of trying out chunky blonde highlights as well! This is a bold move, but if you’re looking for greater contrast, chunky highlights are the way to go. They’re also good for covering gray hair (if you already have tons of them).

10. Irish Cream | Blonde Highlights w/ Brown Hair

How do you like Bailey’s Irish Cream? A whole lot? You can turn your brown hair into a caramel decadent!

Everything is working well together and I can’t wait to try this one (maybe after my new hair color fades). Well, it’s not really for everyone, but if you have a boho side to you, you’ll enjoy this! It’s great for wavy hair too!

11. Blonde and Pastel | Blonde Highlights on Dark Hair

Your hair is an extension of your personality. So if you have a colorful and vivid personality, your hair should too! I’ve seen dark brown hair with rainbow ombre.

While it’s trendy, I think pastel colors are better when mixed with blonde highlights in particular. It doesn’t have to be full-blown colors, just color accents here and there. For blonde highlights, pastel blue, purple, pink, and green will look beautiful!

Constant coloring can lead to dry and damaged hair. Make your own DIY hair mask to keep your hair well-conditioned and nourished. Here’s how from beautyklove:

Whether you have brown or dark hair, blonde highlights can give your hair life! Actually, when you look for blonde highlights hair ideas online, you’d see a lot that look very similar to one another. I guess, at the end of the day, it’s between you and your stylist—what suits your hairstyle, your skin tone, and your personality. That’s what’s going to make your hair special!
