Brunette Balayage Hair Color Ideas

Who decided brown hair isn’t as pretty or interesting as blonde, black, or red hair, anyway? Did you cast your vote? We didn’t, either. We maintain that brown hair is lit, and brown balayage proves it—there’s so much potential! There’s no way you can scope the following hairstyles and not fall in love with at least one of them.

1. Long Brunette Balayage

For the base color, go for a brunette shade that gradually transforms into a blonde-brown hue for the tips. If you have a long mane, think about styling a few curls for the ends and part the hair in the middle to get a beautiful face frame.

2. Short Brunette Balayage

Get a long bob haircut and part the hair in the middle. Opt for a balayage and style a few here-and-there caramel highlights that will make the hairdo look so damn delicious. Messy, smooth waves will also provide significant volume, and you will adore the new look. 

3. Brunette Balayage Highlights

When you are styling a balayage for brunettes, don’t be afraid to play with shades that make the hair color look warmer. This way, when designing an elegant bun and braids, those shades will pop out and provide a lot of texture and shine.

4. Brunette Ombre Balayage 

Enlighten your mane with a fantastic brunette balayage that makes your tips look glossy and ravishing—style effortless curls for a modern and chic touch. Remember that you can also toss the bangs on one side.
