Blonde and brown hair: The perfect colour combination you need to try

1. Face framing highlights

Not sure what face framing highlights are? Just think of it as hair contouring. And just like face contouring, they help to highlight and accentuate your best facial features, as well softening stronger ones.

Simply by adding more blonde highlights around the front of her light brown hair, this Instagrammer draws attention to all the right places. Credit: @chelseahaircutters

Editor’s tip: As with any dyed hair look, you’ll need to switch your wash and care system to one that’s formulated especially for coloured tresses. We love the Dove Colour Care Shampoo and Conditioner for it’s Vibrant Colour Lock formula, which will help your hue last longer.

2. Sun-kissed ombre

If you like an all over colour, but think root touch ups are just a little too high maintenance, then ombre styles will be right up your street. Why? Because having a darker root is exactly what this style is all about!

3. Natural highlights

Looking for blonde and brown hair hues that have a natural finish? Then we suggest going for a super soft finish, like this brown-haired beauty.

By adding a blonde hue that is close to her light brown shade, this Instagrammer gives the look a subtle finish, while still getting the benefits of added dimension and fluidity to the hair. Not to mention that it is equally as breathtaking as any bold colour transition! Credit: @dianashin

4. Ombre perfection

How flawless does this brown to blonde ombre look? Ombre styles are a fantastic way to try out some really cool colours, enabling you to blend shades from one to another with ease.

However, if you’re sticking to a blonde and brown hair colour combo, be inspired by this striking flow of colour and we guarantee all your friends will be green with envy. Credit: @sancoiffure_byserhat

5. Multi-toned balayage

Unlike dip-dye styles, balayage has the advantage of playing around with multiple colours and application techniques.

Choose between natural sun-kissed finishes or up your mane game by opting for varying tones, like this Instagrammer – either way, balayage gives the wearer less noticeable regrowth lines (bonus!). Credit: @eraybeler

Editor’s tip: If you love a wavy style, try applying the Toni&Guy Wave Memorising Balm through the lengths of towel-dried hair. The wave recall technology will help to enhance and define your curls, for the very best results!

6. Contrasting babylights

We love how blonde highlights can still help transform even dark brown hair. Take these babylights for example: by adding superfine strands of blonde to dark hair, you’ll effortlessly bring out the best in your mane. Credit: @sophiamiacova

7. Chunky highlights

We love how chunky highlights have been modernised. Gone are the symmetrical stripes and in are the cleverly placed blends of colour. Teaming her ash brown hair with a mix of soft brown and ice blonde hues, this lovely lady gives this look a seriously fresh feel. Credit: @missmary_79
