Ladies who tend to look better in warmer colors (think yellow, brown and orange) tend to look fabulous in this caramel shade! Hair that has some length to it makes for a more dramatic effect when it comes to ombre’, but anything past your chin has the possibility to achieve this color.

When lighting the ends of your hair, you want to make sure that you give it them little extra TLC. A weekly conditioning treatment is a must! Try Pravana’s 60 Sec Treatment. One minute in the shower and your hair feel fabulous and you’ve added the extra moisture and nutrients it needs!

Tip:
If you are going darker with blonde hair to this rich caramel hue, it is important to ask your stylist for the right shampoo and conditioner to keep your color. A lot of shampoos will quickly pull fresh color out of previously blonde hair. Sulfate-free, color safe shampoos are a must!

Keeping long hair shiny and healthy can make your color go from nice to fabulous! Adding a deep conditioning treatment weekly or bi-weekly to your hair maintenance schedule makes a huge difference. My favorite is Pravana’s NEVO 60 Sec Deep Treat. In only one minute, hair is super soft and shiny!

#19 Caramel Concentration
A concentration of beautiful caramel highlights around the face brightens your overall look and is always in style.

Tip:
Love her curls? The best curl-staying tip I have is to use a medium hold gel or mousse before blow drying hair. Let curls cool completely before you manipulate them, and don’t go overboard on the hairspray. Too much hairspray can weigh down curls, causing them to fall out!
#20 Oh So Subtle
Light caramel highlights through the ends that softly work their way up towards the scalp is an easy to maintain yet oh so fabulous look!
Style by Kristen Loprieno, Planet Color Salon, Mokena, IL
Best Skin Tone and Hair Type:

Tip:
Don’t overdo these soft highlights! They are meant to be subtle. Talk to your stylist and bring pictures to show how much of the highlights you are looking for.
Brunettes don’t fret, with all of the caramel options you have, your locks will never look the same. Go dark and rich, lighter and creamy, or multi-tonal. Depth and lightness are not your only options either! Concentrate those gorgeous highlights around your face in a soft ombre’, or go all the way through. Just go for it and warm up your look by wearing brown hair with caramel highlights!
