#37: Brunette Wavy Bob with Bronde Highlights

If you like chocolate brown hair with highlights, but have always secretly wondered about the blonde life, throwing in some bronde accents turn out to be the best of both worlds. The lighter locks will contrast your base and make it look even darker, and the mix is striking, not streaky — especially when styled in soft, cascading waves.

#39: Chin-Length Warm Brown Balayage Bob

Chocolate brown hair is fun and playful when cut short — a chin-length bob is ultra-flirty, especially when curled to create some texture. If your locks are naturally dark, using the balayage coloring to add in darker and lighter warm brown tones allows for some interest that isn’t as extreme as blonde highlights.
