This post is all about sunkissed brunette hair ideas.
When summer is around the corner, many brunette girlies start getting the itch to lighten their hair.
Depending on your natural hair color and hair texture, it’s not always feasible to go completely blonde, due to hair damage bleach can cause.
Cue sunkissed brunette hair.
Getting your hair highlighted in a way that looks sunkissed and natural is the perfect way to enhance your natural features and get to experience a little lightness to your hair as a brunette. Not to be confused with fun, because we all know brunettes actually have more fun. 🙂
But on a serious note, lighter hair can actually soften your features and give you a completely new look.
If you’re not sure which variation of sunkissed brunette you’re going for, the following looks can be used as inspo for your next hair appointment!

5. Cool Toned
If you want the pop of light, but want to keep things ashy, these gorgeous cool toned highlights paired with a neutral base are a dream!

6. Piecey Sunkissed Brunette

7. Thin and Subtle
If you’re on the fence about highlights all together, or want to make sure they are well-blended and not noticeable, ask your stylist for the thinnest, most subtle highlights as shown here.
Styling tip: invest in a good hydrating hair serum such as the OUAI Hair Oil post-blowout to curb any dry ends and control frizz.
8. Money Piece Brunette Sunkissed Highlights
Well executed money pieces can bring life to your hair. What I love so much about heavily placed front highlights is that you save the integrity of the rest of your hair by having bleach placement concentrated in one area.
This is the perfect example of how beautiful and sunkissed money pieces can be when done right!
Styling tip: Pair these highlights with long layers and face framing, slightly below chin, bang pieces for maximum wow-effect!

From sultry and dark to with a pop of color to bold and flirty, there are so many options when it comes to the perfect sun-highlighted brown hair color.
The beauty of brunette hair is that it’s so versatile and you can switch it up to bring out different ways you want to appear.
