      Priyanka Chopra Jonas’s brunette locks part at the side and tumble in waves just below the shoulder. This layered cut displays a subtle dimension that shows off her highlights and has an enviable texture.\n<\/p>\n

      Before trying a look like Chopra Jonas’s, ensure the shade will serve to flatter your eyes and skin. “My best advice is to check your eyes and skin color. Pick a shade that will brighten your eyes and even your skin tone,” says Morales.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      Be sure to show up at the salon in your usual hairstyle to help your stylist figure out color placement. “If the client likes to wear natural curly hair, a hand-painted technique is a great way to go,” says Morales. “When using this technique, you enhance the type of curls that need the spotlight to create a natural look.”\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      Jamie Chung is known to be a hair chameleon and looks stunning in any shade, but we must say that this warm balayage mix is one of our favorites. “The great thing about medium brown is that it complements all skin tones,” says Lee. The key is to determine your undertones and go cool or warm.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      We’ve always been a fan of Cleo Wade’s stunning curls. Her medium-brown locks are woven with a gorgeous caramel bronde shade to lighten up the overall appearance.\n<\/p>\n

      According to Lee, the shade isn’t “the most high maintenance color. But it will require regular touch-ups, unlike doing just highlights, you can go a bit longer.”\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      While Beyonc\u00e9 is often rocking honey blonde hues, she’ll occasionally vacillate between medium brown and a flaxen blonde shade. For the 2016 Met Ball, she went darker and straighter than usual, with golden highlights and a dramatic eyeshadow.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
