Tempted to try out blonde highlights on your naturally brunette locks? Our pros give their top tips and advice to nailing this beauty look.
 
Jean Louis David does not offer this type of coloring service. ‘To get this look, it is much better for the hair if you simply add blonde clip-in extensions throughout. This technique prevents any long-term damage and preserves its healthy shine. In fact, if you want to lighten brown hair, harsh chemicals are a must to see any visible results. This will severely damage your locks and leave them in bad shape’.
 
It’s often difficult to create a natural-looking color with blonde highlights on brunette hair. ‘This is because there is a big difference in tone between the two, even if you simply want to color a few strands. What’s more, there’s no guarantee that the blonde applied to your hair will be aesthetically pleasing and you may end up with a brassy-looking shade rather than the one you were hoping for. It will take a good few hours, even in the hands of a professional, to achieve your desired color’.
 
Our advice: If you still want to go ahead with lighter highlights, opt for chocolate, caramel or honey-based tones. They will add dimension to your style and lift your color whilst minimizing damage.
