1. Lightened black with caramel hair is a trend

Dyeing the ends of your hair caramel brown is a great idea to go light black. This nuance combines superbly with this skin tone because it creates a harmonic look.

For a more subtle change of look, you can experiment with highlights just at the ends of your hair with the ombré hair technique, which keeps the natural root while making a subtle transition between caramel brown and natural color. Another idea is to bet on global coloring to become a caramel lit brunette!

2. Honey Blonde is a warm and shimmering shade to turn lit black

The honey blonde is one of the best shades of lit brunette in black, diva! That's because the tone is usually made from a dark blonde base, which creates a more harmonious look with the skin tone and full of shine. Honey blonde hair is warm and ultra-luminous, and it's one of Spain's favorite shades!

The most popular way to have honey blonde hair is using lighting techniques that create a natural contrast between the base color and the blonde. Balayage is one method that highlights strands from root to tip, with some sections lighter than others to give the strands an impression of movement.

3. Try to become a lit brunette with highlighted locks on the sides of the face

Making highlights on each side of the face is a good way to stay lit. The highlighted locks close to the face are sure to brighten up the face, in addition to making the look very modern and youthful, and you can do the locks in the salon or at home. It is worth choosing warm nuances, such as caramel and honey blonde, but the tone is not too close to the skin to avoid a dull look.

4. Brown coffee has a natural and modern proposal

Going coffee light brunette is a great choice for dark-skinned divas who want a subtle change in look. That is, if you want to get away from blonde and light tones and bet on a nuance that slightly illuminates the strands, coffee brown hair is perfect for you!

The combination of coppery and grayish reflections naturally illuminates the locks while keeping the background dark, being a good tone option for lightened brunettes in black, dark and medium brown hair. It's worth betting on global coloring to test this easy-to-achieve nuance - in addition to saving money, you can safely dye your hair at home!

5. Coppery brown lightens and is between brown and red

If you want an illuminated brunette tone on black skin that is very close to red hair, a good idea is to bet on coppery brown. The reflections in copper tones on the brownish background create a color between brown and dark red, making it a good starting point for you to become a redhead one day! The idea is to bet on the look with global coloring, which dyes all the strands or leaves the roots smoky and natural.

Diva Tip: our suggestion is the 5.74 Brown Copper paint, by Cor&Ton, which combines brownish and coppery reflections to light up the look with modernity! Know that the coloring lightens between two to three tones, so do the strand test before dyeing your hair yourself at home.

If you want a bolder change, golden blonde is a nuance that will transform your look! She is very famous among foreign and black influencers, from curly ones to those who like to keep their hair straight.

Often done in a medium blonde base (7), golden blonde is a warm color that creates an elegant contrast with dark skin. You can invest in both golden lights and global coloring. A trick to make the look even more striking is to lighten the ends of the hair with a lighter tone!

As this color is made on the basis of medium blonde, it may be necessary to bleach black, dark brown and medium hair. Therefore, it is very important to follow a golden blonde hair care routine, keeping the strands well hydrated and healthy on a daily basis. That way, you get shiny, soft and full of life lit hair!

7. Babylights illuminate lightly and discreetly

A post shared by Franchelli Rodriguez (@chelliscurls)

Have you ever heard of babylights? They are very delicate and guarantee natural lighting, because the professional lightens very thin strands. To carry out this technique, hairdressers use only a coloring brush to apply the product to thin strands, instead of the classic cap for highlights. Babylights are perfect for all lengths, textures and nuances, in addition to combining superbly with more discreet and soft colors.
