5. Whipped Vanilla Brown
For an airy, ethereal look, the whipped vanilla brown style uses a light-brown base and incorporates sections of very pale, creamy-beige highlights. This is a bolder take on the milk brown hair color trend, as the contrast between the base and the highlights is more pronounced than in other versions. The “whipped” quality comes from the way the lighter tones are concentrated around the face, creating an almost halo-like effect that brightens your entire appearance. It is a stunning, high-fashion look that feels both luxurious and playful, making it an excellent choice for those who love to experiment with their aesthetic.
How to Make
Begin by coloring your base a soft, light milk-brown. Then, use a heavy highlighting technique, specifically focusing on the front sections and the crown of the head, to weave in large, creamy vanilla-beige sections. It is important to keep the roots a bit deeper, as this will ground the lighter highlights and prevent them from looking too washed out. After the highlights are developed, use a vanilla-toned demi-permanent dye to soften the contrast and ensure the two shades work together. Style with large, loose waves to display the contrast between the whipped vanilla highlights and the milk-brown base.
