Summer is always a veritable mash-up of beachy ombre looks and highlight inspiration.
But the season (and subsequent seasons) has so many options for brunettes as well.
Enter lowlights for brown hair.
Design by Zackary Angeline.
“It’s usually chosen based on your skin tone and eye color,” she notes.
“Or you could do it in the midst of winter, when your skin gets a bit paler.
The depth from adding lowlights helps to maintain a richness to the clients overall complexion,” Lee adds.

Complement Curl Texture
These lowlights emphasize the bouncy texture of her curls and complement her beautiful brown eyes.

The colors blend so perfectly here, you’d think she was born with this natural hair color.
The lighter tips look natural and blend beautifully with the cool, dark lowlights.
This is a great way to show off the variation in color.
@lacyredway
These lowlights give just enough caramel and blonde tones that mesh perfectly with the color of her roots.
Go Natural
How good do these lowlights look from the side?
It’s important when getting lowlights that your hair looks good and natural from all angles.

These caramel lowlights suit the depth of her hair color perfectly.
Faintly Color Natural Curls
These soft, natural curls and faint lowlights are a match made in hair heaven.
We love how the dark brown plays off her shiny, chocolate hair.

Ombre
These two-toned low lights actually start darker at the top, and get lighter at the bottom.
Lowlights Paired With Highlights
The caramel-colored highlights in these natural curls creates the perfect base for two shades.
We love the half-up look that shows off the color even more.
@lacyredway
A great way to transition into lowlights without altering too much color.
How pretty are these dark lowlights with the lighter caramel-colored strands?
The contrast is just right between these tones and really show how well her hair is styled.
