Brown is a warm color, and blonde too is a warm color. Hence, it is very easy to blend these two colors. However, selecting the right shade of blonde is still important, to get a subtle and natural colored hair effect. People who fall in warm skin category are people with brown skin tone with pink or golden undertones, ruddy complexion, pale complexion with peach or golden undertones or a freckled complexion. The eye color can be golden brown eyes, greenish blue eyes, green eyes or hazel eyes with brown or golden colored flecks. People who fall in this category can go with golden-brown streaks, or blonde streaks which can be of bright shades of blonde like honey, golden blonde, yellowish blonde, sandy blonde or even shiny strawberry blonde.

Haircuts and Styles
There are many ways to cut and style your hair. You can go for deep layered haircut, and accompany them with bangs. You can go for simple middle parting, and equal layered cut without bangs. Or go with deep layers the crown and less at the ends, so that you have a stacked layered effect. Accompany these layers with side sweeping bangs or blunt Cleopatra bangs. You can use a sea salt spray or curling hair mousse and style the hair wavy-curly, by applying the spray on wet hair and scrunching your hair. However, if you like straight hair styles, then you can go a step further by running a razor over your haircut to look even more stylish. Razor cut will give your hair ends a soft wispy ends look. Another way to style your straight hair is to cut them choppy, choppy haircuts will add more volume to your hair. Get minimum 8 streaks of blonde highlights done in your hair, and maximum 12. Also, a thin layer under the bangs should be colored so that the bangs also look nicely textured.
Adding Lowlights
Just like highlights you can also consider getting lowlights, to add more textured effect with hair coloring. Select a shade for lowlights which is 2-3 shades darker than your original hair color, that is light brown hair color. If you select a light shade of lowlights then they won't be visible enough, and might not give the intended textured hair color effect. Though, it is possible to streak your hair using foils at home, it is important that you approach a stylist while getting lowlights done.
Hair Care Tips
To style your hair, shampoo your hair and then apply a conditioner to your hair. Make sure you use the hair care products, that are made especially for colored hair. After washing your hair, comb your hair in the way the haircut is supposed to be styled. Then use blow dryer or let the hair naturally dry. If you are using a hair straightener, then make sure you use enough serum on hair before straightening them. To maintain your colored hair longer, avoid exposing them to sunlight. To maintain your haircut visit your stylist every 3-4 weeks, to get a trim.
