Bronde hair is, as it sounds, a mix of blonde highlights and brunette lowlights for an in-between color. Pioneered in part by the Olsen twins, in recent years it's been all over the red carpets -- and it's the perfect look for when you want to change up your color. Here are 10 stunning bronde hair color ideas to consider.

Balayage Bronde

When you want to rock the flattering, healthy-looking hairstyle worn by Elizabeth Olsen, you can request that your hair be hand painted with the balayage technique. Balayage bronde hair features a subtler contrast than the typical balayage style, which gives it a more natural look.
Lived-in Bronde

For a more understated bronde hair look, consider keeping your hair darker toward the roots with a gradual fade to a lighter blonde toward the ends of the hair. This method is natural looking and makes it seem like your hair is only faded by the sun. This chic look has been seen on actress Kate Bosworth.

Touch of Gold Bronde
