Jumbo braids are a gorgeous style that is fast and easier to install than other traditional box braid styles. This perfect everyday style is gorgeous in a butterscotch shade. Add some extra flair to the look by curling the ends of your hair for a trendy finish. Use SheaMoisture Wig & Weave Tea Tree & Borage Seed Oil Shine Spray to maintain the shininess of the curls. 

2. Short Butterscotch Curls

Accentuate your curls with the butterscotch hair color. You can wear this hair color in full bloom. However, this hairstyle looks especially great on curly hair when worn in highlights over your dark natural hair colors. 

3. Highlights on Afro Hair

Allow the texture of your coils and curls to shine through with butterscotch hair color highlights. Add some dimension to the highlights by implementing ginger and blonde tones for a cute fiery look. Use Suave Luscious Curls Shampoo to keep your curls poppin’ while wearing this butterscotch hair color. 

4. Full Blown Butterscotch Hair Color on Afro Hair

Want more than just a few strands of the butterscotch hair color on your afro? Then rather than wearing the hair in highlights, wear the color in full bloom on your afro. Maintain your hair color with Suave Vivid Color Conditioner

5. Balayage Hair Coloring

Wear your butterscotch hair color in a unique way by wearing it in highlights that intensify as you get lower in your hairstyle. This means that you would have your butterscotch highlights more prevalent at the top. However, as you go lower in the length of your hairstyle, the butterscotch hairstyle becomes more of an ombre look. This look helps to beautifully blend the various tones of your hair colors for the perfect balayage look.
