23 Brown Hairstyles with Highlights and Lowlights

If highlights brighten your look, then lowlights add depth and dimension. Highlights are lightened portions of hair and lowlights are a few shades darker that your natural base color. Combining both in the same look is not only possible, but essential to give your hair an overall cohesive look.
