To keep this style radiant, invest in a color-enhancing conditioner like the John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Visibly Deeper Conditioner. And don’t forget, a regular trim is essential to keep those ends looking as fresh as your color.

If you’ve been blessed with a medium complexion, these waves will accentuate your natural beauty. However, they’re versatile enough to grace various skin tones. Be cautious if you have thin hair, as heavy highlighting could potentially damage delicate strands.
To keep your waves as bold as the season, I’m all for a regimen that includes a bonding treatment like Olaplex No.3. For daily protection, a spritz of Bumble and Bumble’s Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Heat/UV Protective Primer will fend off the harsh summer rays.
And if you’re in the mood for a touch more fun, why not add in some highlights dark chocolate brown to deepen the look or even a few short caramel highlights for those who fancy a bit more contrast?

This color is a charmer, particularly on those with darker skin tones or anyone wishing to make a statement with their hair. The dense pigmentation can be quite striking, so if you’re looking to hide grey subtly, you might prefer a lighter option.
Nurture these waves with a color-depositing conditioner like Joico’s Color Infuse Brown Conditioner to maintain the mahogany’s vibrancy. And, indulge your hair weekly with the luxurious Christophe Robin Regenerating Mask with Rare Prickly Pear Seed Oil.

The balayage subtle highlights in this soft mocha masterpiece are reminiscent of a dark brown coffee blend lightened by a splash of cream. It’s a style that speaks to those looking for a delicate balance between dark and light, marrying low-key elegance with a hint of summer whimsy.
Ideal for those with a light to medium skin tone, this balayage provides a gorgeous contrast without overpowering softer features. Those with very dark skin may find it less complementary.
Sustain the subtle interplay of shades with a sulfate-free cleanser, such as the Biolage Colorlast Shampoo. Remember, hydration is key, so a leave-in treatment like the Ouai Leave-In Conditioner will work wonders.
Why not pair this balayage with a fresh short cut or medium length hairstyle? It could be the perfect way to welcome the warmer months and a fabulous refresh for your summer look.
Voluminous Caramel Waves
Long, voluptuous waves drenched in caramel hues are a statement of both luxury and vitality. The contrast against the dark brown roots creates a dynamic look, infusing the highlights with movement and depth, much like the ebb and flow of the summer tide.
This look is particularly flattering on those with golden or olive undertones in their skin, and its rooted style makes it a low maintenance dream. If your hair is on the finer side, too much lightening could weaken your strands.
Maintain these lush waves with a weekly deep conditioning treatment; I’d suggest the Kérastase Masque Intense Régénérant. For daily wear, a few drops of the Moroccanoil Treatment can add shine and tame frizz.
Consider experimenting with balayage sun kissed accents to enhance the naturalistic effect, or introduce some short caramel highlights near the face to brighten your overall appearance.

Preserving the nuanced tones of this balayage requires a gentle touch; use a color-preserving shampoo like Redken Color Extend Magnetics. A weekly deep-conditioning treatment, for example, with the SheaMoisture Manuka Honey & Mafura Oil Intensive Hydration Masque, will keep your hair soft and luscious.
Want to mix it up? A short bob haircut with textured layers will lend a modern edge to the balayage, offering a cute, playful take on this trendy style.
