If you’re brunette and prefer the richness and depth of a darker shade but also like the blond esthetic, you might want to consider face-framing highlights.
It’s a high-impact, high-contrast colour with low maintenance highlight placement. Also known as “Brownshell” the colour approach offers the best of both worlds.
Our client, Milena, has naturally dark brown hair and wanted to brighten her colour while maintaining a rich coffee-brown background foundation.
To create this beautiful honey-caramel contrast, I placed face-framing foils around her hairline and sprinkled a few weave-foils on the top of her hair using a “lift and tone”, silk-infused lightener designed for brunettes. Milena typically pulls warmth when she lightens and this formula offers maximum lift and while controlling the tonality.
