    Try a brown to blonde ombre if you’re craving some bright blonde but you don’t want to visit the salon for root retouches often. The darker base color makes the ends pop. You’ll want to pick up some purple shampoo to tone down any brassiness that shows after the toner fades off.

    A dark brown to strawberry blonde color melt is a great way to transition a woman into a more blonde look without completely taking away her brunette locks. A strawberry blonde tone is a perfect tone when taking a brunette lighter as it still contains some natural warm hues. A color melt is extremely low-maintenance and can be refreshed as little as needed.

    This is a cool ash brown to blonde ombre, which is a must-try if you’re tired of your old black hair. Furthermore, the medium waves really make this one multi-dimensional.

    “I’m obsessed with the gentle depth in the crown and the cool blonde tone of this baby lighted ombré hair,” says hairstylist Hallie Wutzke of Corona, CA.

    For the girl who wants to spend more time flipping her hair than wrapping it in a bun, Wutzke says this color begs to be shown off with a beachy wave.

    She adds, “if you are wanting a dramatic change but aren’t interested in a monthly subscription to the salon chair, this is the perfect low-maintenance look that will last you months between lightening touch-ups and harsh lines!”

    Brown to Blonde on Curly Hair

    @leticiaoliveirashc

    “The word that describes this fantastic brown to blonde on curly hair is the sun,” says stylist Leticia Oliveira of Brazil.

    She explains, “for this visual, I used a mixture of hot and cold beige tones, giving naturalness, creating hair movement, and matching the skin tone of the model.”

    When it comes to maintenance, Oliveira wants you to consider how much you are engaged in hair care.

    “This look requires a regular routine of treatment that is quite wet (I suggest avocado seed oil or grapeseed oil with a few drops of jojoba oil) and a powerful mask reconstruction and nutrition, alternately. As the technique keeps the root smooth, it also allows retouching with up to 8 months, benefiting the health of the strands,” she notes.

    This unique golden brown to platinum blonde is a melted balayage. It was handcrafted this way because of hairstylist Brittany Shott of Fredericksburg, VA.

    “There is organic hand painting and also a range of different colors and tones,” she explains.

    She adds, “this color is also perfect for all women. It has a range of so many tones and is great for young girls or busy moms. The grow-out is seamless, meaning you wouldn’t have to come in that often.”

    Natural Brown Roots to Beige Blonde

    21 Best Brown to Blonde Hair Color Ideas and Tips
    @hairby_juliap

    This super cute natural brown roots to beige blonde balayage ombre was created by stylist and salon owner Julia Popenco of Vancouver, WA.

    Popenco believes that no matter how light/dark blonde is, it has to be ashy or any other tone but orange. She says, “if you have a beautiful dark skin tone, keep it no lighter than a level 8. Anything lighter than that will be too obvious that it was colored and won’t look natural.”

    “Also, I would recommend this shade of brown to blonde color to women who are going for a more natural look. Choose to straighten your hair if it’s natural and wavy,” she adds.
