Hair colouring: which highlights for brunettes?

To bring out the radiant shine of your dark hair, all you need is a few carefully chosen highlights. From ultra-natural to a sun-kissed look, find out which highlights are perfect for your locks.

A Gloss treatment for highlights that catch the light

Do you wish to keep your natural base whilst enhancing your colour? Revive the radiant shine of your brown hair with Jean Louis David’s Gloss treatment. This exclusive tone-on-tone colouring technique gives your hair highlights that catch the light and brings out its natural tones. It boosts the radiant shine of your hair and the effects last for several weeks before gradually fading, without giving you a noticeable roots look. Also good to know, it can be used as a finishing touch on coloured brown hair.

Highlights for a sun-kissed look

Giving your brown hair lighter strands to brighten up your colour is a good idea… Providing that you choose a shade suited to your complexion! To avoid any faux pas, only a professional colourist can advise you on which colour to go for. If you have light brown locks, it is best to opt for hazelnut, caramel or even honey highlights if you want to go blonde. However, do not overly lighten your dark brown locks at the risk of creating too stark a contrast and damaging your hair. Say goodbye to golden highlights and go for a maximum of 3 tones lighter than your natural colour. Finally, auburn, mahogany or copper highlights are a great option as they add depth to your hairstyle.
