Chestnut Hair: Dare Honey Highlights
Who It's For: Ideal for all chestnut hair bases craving lightness without unwanted redness – a common pitfall of improper lightening. Honey highlights complement every skin tone and eye color beautifully.
Choosing the Right Color: For light brown hair, choose an ammonia-free tone-on-tone color in blonde to dark blonde shades with golden or copper reflects. It fades gently over several shampoos. For darker bases, opt for permanent color in the same tones. Apply evenly to all hair, leave on for 20 minutes, then rinse.
Avoid This Mistake! If your skin flushes easily, skip warm caramel tones that can make you look like a lobster – go for ashy effects instead. With olive skin, embrace coppery shades for a radiant glow.
Pro Tip for Extra Shine: To boost shine or lighten further, use a highlighting kit with golden or copper streaks. Apply in two steps: First, do your base color and rinse. Then, create sun-kissed highlights around the face and leave on for 30 minutes.
