#2: Long and Layered Browns

Great color for those with brown hair on the darker side, some medium brown balayage that gradually becomes golden is a natural look for you! It’s great for a pop of color without heaving to heavily dye your tresses to reach a golden hue.

#3: Warm Medium Tones

A sultry take on natural golden brown hair, opting for auburn or warm tones works well on warm-toned skin girls or even fair-skinned with green eyes (to bring out that dreamy color!). The base of the hair has been dyed to match the highlights in tone for a seamless color melt!

#4: Long Golden Highlights

That’s because the balayage is worked into her tresses in an effortless way and remain about the same color throughout the whole head of hair as opposed to a more ombre vibe would be. It’s simple and works on everyone.
