Creating a base of established highlights will really make this look pop, as the final for summer highlights at the end will look brighter and more sun kissed.

Sunkissed Dark & Raven Hair
Dark hair is treated similarly to brunettes when it comes to creating a sun kissed look. For very deep brown hair choose a combination of bronze and brown highlights with a limited number of shades to let the hair shimmer. The best tones to choose and coppery, chestnut, and rich chocolate to create stunning and reflective hair able to capture the sunshine and produce a natural looking glow.
Sunkissed Red Hair
With red hair, the sun kissed look comes from the application of lowlights and highlights to create movement within the hair so it can naturally capture and reflect the sun. Redheads often have a natural sunny glow with their hair so emphasising this is the best strategy.
