Want to change up your basic, tonal locks without a complete commitment? You might want to give subtle balayage a try. This style of highlighting applies color to only certain areas of the hair, especially areas where light catches or where the color would fade naturally.

By being subtle, you can maintain the original base color of your hair without too many drastic changes. Moreover, its free nature allows you to decide how much shadow you want to add. Even though you have complete control over balayage, you're still open to having a little fun!
As you can see, a dark brown balayage adds texture to one-dimensional brown hair. Where light would normally fall, the hair has been kissed with slightly lighter cinnamon tones for a lively effect.
Tousled locks with caramel ends are a great way to rock subtle balayage blonde without going bleach crazy. No matter how dark your hair is, if you want to turn it blonde, you have to lighten it. If your hair is already warm, use some caramel highlights and even go blonde at the ends for a beachy, natural vibe.
