2. Caramel Face-Framing Highlights
Brighter pieces right around the face open up your whole look. This version of mocha balayage concentrates caramel-toned highlights near the hairline, so your skin looks lit from within.
It’s a brilliant low-commitment refresh if the rest of your hair already has some dimension — your stylist only needs to lighten the front sections.
What You’ll Need
- A face-framing highlight appointment (or a balayage kit for the brave)
- Toner in a warm caramel shade
- Heat protectant spray for styling
How to Make
- Ask your stylist for a money-piece style highlight around the face.
- Keep the rest of the hair in a soft mocha melt for contrast.
- Tone everything warm so the face pieces blend, not stripe.
- Style with loose waves to show off the brightness.
