Warm Balayage Formulas For Brunettes
These 5 Warm Balayage Formulas Are A Must!
They say blondes have more fun, but in the fall and winter, brunettes reign supreme! These five must-try warm balayage formulas will definitely be on your brunette clients’ inspo boards. Click the beakers on the photos for the formulas, and don’t miss the genius formulation advice below!
1. Rich Chocolate Caramel Highlights


Create subtle dimension by letting the highlights grow out and toning darker for a seamless melt. When working with warm shades, BTC Team Member Melissa Maloney (@live_love_dohair) prefers to use Joico LumiShine™ Demi-Permanent Liquid Color. “The consistency is perfect for melting and their warm tones [are] so natural and beautiful.”
2. Soft Copper Blend Balayage


The key to getting an auburn tone versus a reddish copper is to add gold to the formula. BTC Team Member Sara Botsford (@sarabotsfordhair) recommends mixing yellow and tan to create gold and cut through orange pigment.
3. Golden Red Highlights


Make your client’s hair pop by adding depth, not relying on a gloss. Melissa advises adding a few panels of depth into the hair to make copper hues stand out.

5. Warm Espresso Balayage


Did you know you can use LumiShine™ Demi-Permanent Liquid Color for gray coverage? BTC Team Member Sarah McDonald (@styles.by.sarah) used it to blend out her client’s roots.
