For an adorable bob that stands out from the crowd, add golden or ash hues (depending on your skin undertone) that will illuminate your complexion. When people think of ombre, they imagine long cascading waves, which look great. But curly girls can rock a cool color fade, too. Short voluminous hair is lighter, bouncier, and way more fun.
Natural brunettes do not lack brightness, but they can add a very stylish twist to their looks with one of the creative brown ombre hair ideas. With dark hair, you can achieve the most low-maintenance ombre solutions if you keep your natural color at the roots. Consider these options to find what works well for your hair.
@sydneyraehair
The ombre technique is such a flattering way for natural brunettes to flirt with lighter shades. The transition from dark roots to chestnut strands is absolutely pretty. To get the voluminous look, curl your hair with a large barrel curling iron and lightly tease for the final glam.
If you don’t go for too much contrast, a subtle ombre transition might become a perfect solution. From darker roots to ends with chocolate hair color – it creates the sun-faded effect, looking extremely natural. It appears especially good with medium and long wavy hairstyles.

Curly long hair looks great in brown ombre coloring because curly texture catches the light and shows depth. Transitioning from brown to the shade of honey is flattering against hazelnut eyes, highlighting their warmth.
@jomcintyrehair
This casual medium-length hairstyle is possible with any shade of brown. Here, the subtle transition from dark brown to chocolate, combined with smooth waves, adds depth and complexity. Another benefit of such a hairstyle is that it does not require changing your natural hair color completely, only introducing subtle contrasts.
@salonrujkayseri
Bring warmth to your skin and style with an understated ombre. Dark hair that transitions to lighter shades of brown has a youthful appeal because hair gets darker as we grow up. When deciding what color to apply to the ends, many women choose the shade they had as kids.
@jacqui.swan
Waves usually take the first place in popularity of styling options when it comes to accentuating your messy bob, but this particular style features a head full of perky flips. The reason why the flipped ends look so good here is that they create the adorable, messy touch and appear absolutely carefree. The accent is further highlighted with two-shade hair color.
@locksbylauryn
Looking for bold red hair ideas? What can look brighter than deep brown? Only deep brown with burning red strands woven in! This hairstyle will work great with loose, messy waves and practically in any hair length. If you want to add some fire to your daily glam, highlight your hair with bright red color accents. It will appear fascinating with naturally darker roots.
@lesciseauxdesarah_
This brown ombre hair look proves that brown color palette is not limited to chocolate, chestnut, and golden accents. Ashy blonde ends create a stunning contrast with dark roots, making the dye job cool and stylish. Combined with airy waves, the glam is absolutely awe-inspiring.
@ozangrpnr06
Each brown to blonde ombre is unique. This option features gorgeous, elegant golden waves that fill the hair and create a deep and complex color solution. Such a hairstyle will flatter brown eyes and warm skin tones.
@leilacoloriste
A great way to accentuate your hair color is by bleaching the ends to a sandy blonde. To avoid a sharp contrast, create a smooth transition between roots and ends. Curled ends will add airiness to the style. However, this style will look amazing with straight hair as well.
@doni_happy_salon
To create a sun-faded effect, add random chestnut strands to your natural hair color. Such a hairstyle will flatter any length and texture. It will create stylish highlights to your look without making it overly bright or daring. Add loose waves for a girlier touch.
@glostudiomx
If you prefer a natural look, this subtle brown ombre might become a perfect way of accentuating your hair color without drastic changes. A customized blend of colors will flatter your skin tone, eyes, hair texture, and length. No one will even notice that you’ve had your hair dyed!
@lesalonprivebeziers
This brown hair with caramel highlights perfectly matches warm skin tones and brown eyes. However, it may not flatter pale skin and blue or gray eyes. These caramel highlights dial up the chic points and make the hairstyle more eye-catching.
@servalhairdesignstudio
Not a fan of brassy undertones? Ash brown ends highlight the depth of natural color, while a subtle transition accentuates hair textures. Lighter and darker hair colors perfectly combine in a fascinating look that will add chic to your daily style.
@capelliandco.bymikayla
Adding texture is a great way to ensure your hair looks its absolute best. This style features a brown to blonde color melt with a midway milk chocolate tone for a better blend of the darkest and the lightest shades. Tousled waves create an airy touch. However, it will also work well with straight hair.
@drainbayankuaforu
An ombre combining caramel brown and rose gold looks stunning. The smooth stretch allows avoiding too sharp a contrast, while adding vividness to your skin color. If you, on the contrary, want to add more contrast, combine this color with deeper dark roots, which can be achieved through root shadowing.
@ozanonlineee
Subtle honey brown ombre perfectly combines with small curls. Such a hairstyle allows for creating color layers, adding depth, an impressive amount of volume, and overall movement. If your hair is short or mid-length, just keep in mind that it might turn out extra voluminous!
@romeufelipe
Face-framing highlights used for the following brown ombre hair color underline eyes and lips. The combination of hair colors has a youthful appeal, while airy waves create a girly touch. This particular kind of ombre will also look great with rose gold ends.
@hairbyoguz
A short, wavy bob is one of the hairstyles that will never go out of style, with cold brown highlights adding a fancy touch. Additionally, the presence of loose waves creates nice movement and dimension. This hairstyle will make you look perfect at any event.
@k.a.y.a.n.e.b
Dark roots are highlighted with strands of chocolate in this fascinating hairstyle. While looking perfectly natural, the ombre creates contrast, underlining the depth of the root color. A perfect mixture of hair colors that will flatter any complexion!
@balayageby_mtlewis
The ashy blonde ends connected with the dark roots through caramel and golden blonde make a harmonious and classy look. To ensure a successful ombre, make an appointment with an experienced colorist.
@kaleybess
This brown-to-blonde look is the perfect example of the diagonal ombre. Best for long strands, a diagonal transition runs the lightest color high up in the front, but starts low in the back.
@stephengarrison
This subtle ombre is such a pretty way to bring warmth and vibrancy to your complexion. Instead of going for five or more shades lighter, choose to go up just one or two shades. On short curls, warm brown ends produce a cute halo effect.
@takeya_monique
This ombre seamlessly transitions to a soft light brown shade for a look that is sophisticated and natural, but still on trend. Opt for the style if you want to try ombre but aren’t into having multiple shades in your hair. Ask your stylist for a honey hue with a delicate shift from dark roots.
@tanya_amador
With deep brown hair you don’t have to go blonde in ombre. This dark brown to light brown color has a cool girl vibe because of the ashy, grayish ends. Go for messy waves with tons of texture to enhance the undone appeal.

@modernsalon
For a classic, ultra feminine ombre look, go for chocolate brown strands that morph into pale blonde waves. Keeping hair dark at the top, brunettes can try out blonde hair in a more natural, flattering way. This style features golden brown highlights that pull all the tones together.
@a_fournier222
For a dark to light ombre that’s totally city chic, a choppy bob will be a definite win. This ombre is all about the faux grown out roots. To style, use a straightener to bend strands slightly for a trendy beadhead look.
@mizzchoi
For a romantic take on a brown ombre hair look, go for a color variation that is soft and subtle. Dark brown to light brown is the easiest ombre style to pull off. For a simple styling tip, put hair in two buns overnight, and in the morning use a large barrel to curl random sections.
@taitkieuapril05
This medium hairstyle is part ombre, part highlights. The overall effect is very youthful and natural. Ask your stylist for fine golden brown highlights that start at the top of the hair and become thicker and more prevalent as they are working their way down. Sunlight is now your new best friend!
@thecolourparlor
The key to any successful dye job is the right tone. Chestnut, cherry, and caramel hues are divine on brunettes with a warm skin tone. To know what’s right for you, take a peek at your closet. Chances are, you already gravitate toward warm or cool.
@rootedhairstudiolq
Straight-haired girls look fab when treated to edgy waves. The twisted texture lends an extra dose of LA flair to her brown to blonde stretch. With hair this long, simply use a sea salt spray, create a low braid, and leave it in for two hours. In a rush? Four extra-large hot rollers – yes, they’re making a comeback – will do the trick.
@rootedhairstudiolq
Light brown shades become super modern with the addition of ashy ends. For a no-heat take on the twisted midshaft trend, create a loose French braid that ends at the nape instead of braiding all the way down. But a flat iron works great too!
@taitkieuapril05
Words can’t express how much we love honey brown! Sweet, fun, sexy, girly, pretty… the list could go on and on. Every girl should try honey brown at least once, no matter which end of the color spectrum she’s arriving from.
@modernsalon
Deep brown hair is known for being sophisticated and regal (think Catherine, Princess of Wales). This look is a surefire proof that brown shade can be glamorous, too. The gorgeous brown to caramel mane is treated to a high-shine gloss treatment and classy waves. To protect long strands, apply a hair mask of pure coconut oil before you shampoo.
@modernsalon
This trendy lob haircut looks stunning done up in caramel-hued ombre. The swept-back layers play nicely with highlights. Sun-kissed side bangs complete the style and add glimmer around the eyes. It’s a great choice for striking the balance between subtle and stark.
@jessie_tressapothecary
Brown ombre hair can fall into a host of color specifications and categories, with the intensity of browns based on personal preferences. This hairstyle features medium brown hair that transitions to a lovely caramel shade. Chunky curls are then placed throughout, mid shaft to ends. A delicate side part keeps the look soft and feminine.
@parrucchieridelcorso
This hairstyle shows just how stunning and versatile ombres can be. While there might not be that much styling to the look, it is still perfectly sleek and polished, allowing the highlighted sections to be on full display. There are also some subtle layers placed throughout for movement and definition.
@modernsalon
From the gorgeous caramel highlights to the free-flowing, asymmetrical waves, this glam is the epitome of what stunning hair looks like. A lob is fabulous when paired with the ombre highlights. Dark brown hair is the perfect base for highlights of any color. The messy side part and the hair falling over one eye seals the deal.
@eleanorpendleton
This look presents a dark brown hair base with burgundy toned roots and caramel highlights – soft and flattering with just a hint of edge. The ends of the hair are styled into chunky curls that are slightly tousled to create a more natural glam with a healthy dose of imperfection encouraged in all modern hairstyles.
@ashleyhair_
There are endless ideas for brown ombre hair – from combining natural colors to adding extraordinarily bright highlights. The only limit for experiments is your own imagination and the professional level of your hairstylist.
