3. Ash Brown Highlights

For a cooler, more modern look, ash brown highlights are an excellent option. Instead of warm golden tones, ash brown leans slightly smoky and muted.

These highlights pair especially well with dark brown or neutral brown hair. They create depth and sophistication without the warmth of traditional highlights. Ash brown can make hair appear glossy, sleek, and fashion-forward.

This is a great choice if you prefer a cooler-toned hair color or want something more understated and contemporary.
