Dark Ash Roots with Cold Brown Ends
Ash brown is an ideal hue for a low-maintenance look that won’t require frequent salon visits for touch-ups. If you prefer dark ash-brown shades but desire an additional pop of contrast, request lowlights from your stylist to lighten up the ends and add definition. Lowlights soften the darker streaks of color further and add meaning.
Deliberate lowlights add definition while softening their darker streaks of color further. Ask your stylist for subtle caramel highlights if you have long, wavy hair. This blend of warm and cool tones gives dimension, creating an eye-catching sunkissed effect that works with any hairstyle style.
