Just look at this beautiful blend of warm and cool blondes that gives depth to the color and creates a sophisticated hair color solution you won’t see on every other girl. Go for messy loose curls for an overall style that leaves a lasting impression.
The hairstyle with dark blonde base and warm platinum blonde highlights speaks for itself. Intricate yet natural, it gives the feel of a discrete yet well thought out coloring.
@igorkhonin
You have seen how great blonde highlights look on dirty blonde base, so it is no wonder that the two tones’ gradient is so chic. Ask your stylist to place lighter shades closer to your face and on the tips for an airy, weightless hairstyle.
@hairstylist.madison
Here is another excellent take on blonde streaks framing the face. It warms the black base and looks very natural in combination with dark brown.
@hairxjojo
Your color should bring attention to the texture of your hair without competing with it. The soft blonde color and tousled choppy waves make a harmonious couple.
@hairby_chrissy
Caramel blonde has this reddish tone in it that makes the hairstyle so exquisite. Central parting and caramel highlights on curtain bangs is a great move in this coloring too.
@maeipaint
If you have long and thick wavy hair, you can easily achieve a sun-kissed effect by dyeing some of your locks a lighter shade. Start with face-framing light blonde highlights and add some golden blonde locks here and there. This hairstyle is definitely the one to try, and it also suits most skin tones!
@thathairmagic

@riawna
Curls and highlights make such a great combination, so why not enhance your natural curly hairstyle with lighter blonde tones? Go for a hue that is complementary to your natural color and make your hairstyle stunning yet low-maintenance.
@un.rooted
From honey to butter and icy blonde – this hairstyle seems to be featuring the best of hues you can never get bored with. Voluminous blowouts and waves make the style look even richer.
@romeufelipe
The lighter blonde color brightens up the face, creating a stunning hairstyle transformation. Opting for highlights rather than all-over hair dye makes the style less demanding and suitable for dyeing hair while pregnant.
@eksprovocator
Are you dreaming of making your brown hair more voluminous and adding dimension to your natural color? Here’s a fascinating trend to make these two dreams come true at once! Ask your hairstylist to cut your locks in long layers and add stylish blonde highlights to create this stunning and mind-blowing look.
@thathairmagic
If you think that getting wide streaks of highlights is an outdated trend, you are mostly right. However, there are some brand new ways to wear it. Here is just one of them.
@hairby_chrissy
Blonde highlights in cool shades on dark brown hair deliver elegant vibes. A good thing about this hairstyle is that you can create the laconic face-framing coloring or update your hair color throughout the length, depending on the effect you want to reach. Your hair will look shiny and glowy either way.
@colorbymaddie
Bright blonde hair color can create an amazing contrast with a tan complexion, so if it sounds like you, go for it! Also, coloring like this will add volume to the hair and emphasize your eyebrows and eyes, making them look more expressive.
@aerielengland
Forget the idea that your roots need to be the same color as your lengths. The root fade is all the rage, and it will let you save on touch-ups; just make dark roots in tune with the lowlights.
@butterflyloftsalon
A sweet, warm tone makes a great addition to natural brown hair color, proving once again you cannot but fall in love with blonde highlights on brown hair.
@alexandresillvestre
Platinum, ash and icy blondes create beautiful, dramatic looks. Remember to treat your dyed hair the right way to keep the warm shades away.
@hairbyamberjoy
Blonde highlights can have any vibe that your heart desires. If you want to richen up your hairstyle with various tones, take inspiration from these ombre highlights. Note how loose beach waves make color and dimension pop.
@johnnyramirez
A bit of contrast is never a bad thing when it comes to your locks. Instead of having your hairstylist blend all of your colors together, place highlights more or less separate. The resulting ‘do will make your locks look thicker and more striking.
@ramireztransalon
Sun-kissed beachy balayage looks great on any hair color. The secret is to play around with warm shades close to the base color and piecey blonde highlights.
@igorkhonin
Women with tan skin should better keep warm blondes around the face and go to ash tips through ombre. Such two-tone highlights and layers may add much dimension and structure to fine, straight hair.
@rafaelbertolucci1
To create a stunning highlighted hairstyle, you need to find the right hue to complement your natural hair color and complexion. Bring wavy texture to your strands to make this look more charming and eye-catching.
@antoniofelipes
It’s amazing what a few well-placed pieces can do. The light blonde waves in the front and on the sides enliven this dishwater blonde miraculously. If you don’t want to commit to a fully dyed head, this is a brilliant solution.
@romeufelipe
Flowy waves and honey blonde highlights – sounds like a perfect match, isn’t it? With these fantastic blonde shades, your hair will look more textured and dimensional; they will also emphasize your facial features beautifully.
@felipecesar.hd
You don’t have to dye all mane to achieve this stunning look. Add warm blonde highlights in front to create an impression of a two-colored hairstyle. This will bring more volume and texture to your hair and complement your natural beauty.
@_hairbypaula
Yes, you can add blonde highlights to the hair, which is already blonde. Light blonde balayage will look fabulous with fair rosy skin like this. What you should beware of is bleaching hair this way in winter or when your hair is already damaged by hot styling.
@anhcotran
This hair coloring is one of the most wanted and asked for this season! It will perfectly suit women with oval and heart-shaped faces, but you can also implement it for your round face if you pair it with face-framing layers.
@brunohfnunes
Here’s another fantastic idea to add texture and dimension to your natural hair color. Dress up this medium choppy cut with midshaft waves and subtle highlights, and enjoy your new style and admired glances it will draw.
@mac_daddybeauty
Emphasize the natural beauty of your brown hair with blonde balayage to instantly add freshness to the look and brighten your complexion. With a hairstyle like this, you can easily stand out from the crowd and draw everyone’s attention.
@keziasimoes
Blonde highlights are a great solution for a makeover whether you are blonde, brunette, redhead, or caramel brown, like in this case. This hair coloring idea will brighten and soften your look, enhance your eyes, and refresh your skin tone.
@sarabotsfordhair
Platinum or sandy tones of blonde work amazing for women with brunette hair. Play with colors by blending some cooler white shades into your naturally dark hair to come up with this creative and catchy hairstyle that suits ladies of all ages.
@hairbychrissydanielle
If you want to make your thick locks airier and more lightweight, slight beach waves and lighter hair color are what you need! With these sun-kissed, multi-dimensional highlights, you will manage to create a perfect style for a date or a party.
@melinda.amehair
This combination of blonde money pieces and dark brunette hair is very universal and trendy. It is easy and inexpensive to maintain and looks gorgeous on any hair length. Besides, highlights are a great way to emphasize hair texture.
@linsonhair
Looking for a way to complement your brunette hair? Then, pay attention to blonde face-framing highlights. Waves can also add fullness to the bottom of your hair, thus bringing you extra volume and dimension.
@sarabotsfordhair
Are you looking for inspiration for your next hairstyle? How about this flattering, low-maintenance hairdo? The light blonde highlights and big loose waves go well together and match any face shape and hair type. Very trendy and universal!
@rodrigocintra
The easiest way to transform your locks is to curl them with the wand and add highlights. However, consider that bleach should be applied to healthy hair; otherwise, you risk evoking hair problems like hair frizz, dryness and split ends.
@thathairmagic
This one-length haircut with feathered ends is an excellent option for ladies with a thin hair type. Bright blonde highlights and lowlights may give a lot of dimension and volume, necessary for fine wavy locks.
@mayaragruba
Whether you have naturally curly locks or permed hair, you may face the problem of excessive thickness and frizziness. Light brown and blonde highlights will help highlight and define the curl pattern.
@borisboriswho
Isn’t it a stunning combination of blonde highlights? Lighter streaks on trendy curtain bangs with a warmer honey blonde tone peeping from hair’s ends are too good not to try.
@chrisweberhair
There are just a few peekaboo highlights in this hairstyle, but the sharp contrast of dark brown and white-blonde hair makes such a change to the overall look!
@kaitlfixhair
Strawberry blonde color highlights look stunning on natural brown hair and work even for those women who could never imagine themselves wearing blonde.
@nicoleoharehair
Today’s casual short blonde hairstyles are tousled and full of texture. Choppy layers in a blonde bob are just the thing for a trendy hairstyle. Every lock goes in its own direction, yet there is still a clear overall shape. The dark blonde base sets off the flow of the lighter pieces.
@riawna
Natural hair curl types vary in structure and definition. You can emphasize yours by putting blonde highlights on the tips. Honey and golden blonde hues will suit the skin tone best, making it glow.
@dayelasoul
A mesmerizing hairstyle that blends brown and blond tones to liven up the image and introduce a whirl of hues, which flatter the complexion and bring out natural radiance.
@rachel_redd
Ombre and balayage dye jobs look ravishing on long wavy hairstyles. Pick the hues you like, find a flattering one, and ask for a soft, smooth fade.
@jacksonnunesoficial
Bold short hairstyles call for bold contrasting highlights. Doesn’t this butter cream blonde tone look spicy on black hair?
@khimandi
Bleached blonde can be your destination, but it can also be the starting point. These shiny silver waves are magnetizing, and if you want to blend gray hair with highlights, give it a try.
@bescene
Blonde highlights on front strands, also known as money piece hair, is another modern technique to place foils. Light color brightens the face and draws attention to your features.
@linsonhair
There are lots of blonde highlights to suit not only any skin tone but also any personality. You can go from warm to dramatic and edgy without leaving the same color family or committing to the all-over hair dye. A great way to underline, not override your natural color, isn’t it?
