In pursuit of fashion, girls and women are ready for any experiments. Often, the female half of humanity blindly follows fashionable trends, forgetting about its individuality. All kinds of haircuts, eyebrow shapes and hair colors are not suitable for everyone. But there is one modern trend that can beautify almost every one. Today I would like to talk about the popular caramel hair color.
Replaced by the "universal" bleaching, lightening of hair, brondirovanie, blondirovanie and other favorite female procedures, which make the owners of dark hair a little closer to the blonde, came the new trend - the hair of warm caramel color.
A soft brown-red tone suits many girls, which increased the prevalence of this coloring in the masses.
Who is suitable for caramel hair color
First of all, caramel color comes to the rescue of brunettes who want to make their hair lighter, but do not want a dramatic brightening. The fact is that when lightening natural dark hair, inevitably a yellow tone appears on the hair, which is very difficult to get rid of.
Overlapping caramel shades of paint is quite harmonious, since this color also has a lot of yellow pigment at the base. Lightening lines of caramel paints also do well with dark curls, making them lighter by 1-2 tones and giving the desired shade.
In addition to the technical aspects, the color of caramel is perfect for brunettes also in color type. Cold types with light skin, cold dark curls and light type eyes can look good with a caramel tint on the hair, but on the condition that it is not pink in skin color. Cold white skin in this case will be a plus. With light eyes, this hair color looks interesting and bright.
Brunettes of warmer types with copper in curls and dark olive skin and eyes of warm shades of green, gold and hazel look with caramel hair very interesting. The skin of warm tones begins to play in the frame of honey shades of strands, dark skin also gives some charming contrast.
Not for nothing, African-American fell in love with caramel hair color, which looks with dark skin very impressive.
For brown-haired pale types can come up more saturated caramel colors, dominated by copper tones and gold. Such rich shades emphasize the natural beauty of the skin and eyes, making them somewhat brighter.
Blondes with fair skin can use caramel color, but with caution. Light transparent shades of eyebrows and eyelashes on the background of bright strands can be completely lost, so they should also be painted with a darker pencil or special paint. Dark brown girls better go bright caramel shades, like brown-haired women.
Ginger girls need to choose a caramel hue that is close to their natural color. To emphasize the natural depth of colors and to emphasize light skin.
Also caramel tones are well suited for middle-aged ladies, as they are very young and refreshing. Girls with skin problems need to carefully select the shade of paint. For owners of faded skin, I’ll come up with more saturated tones that will visually make the skin healthier and brighter.

What dye well dye hair in caramel color
It is quite difficult to dye your hair in caramel color alone; household dyes do not always cope with this. The best solution in this situation is going to the salon. In the line of all professional paints you can find several tones of caramel for different color types.
Do well with the task of paint from the line Wella, a little less successful paint Estell. Other paints also show good results. Do not forget also that 50% of the success of staining is the merit of the master.
In addition to good paint, it is important to consider the original color and condition of the curls. For dark strands, brighten by 2-3 tones before painting with a gentle oxidant, and then tinted.
Light and blond curls well take color without prior preparation. Earlier colored strands, especially in dark colors or specific shades, are the most dyed caramel.
Previously for such hair produce one or more washes to a flat base, after which it is already painted in the desired color.
Household paints of all brands also offer caramel shades, but they should be chosen with care. These colors can give a good result on light or bleached curls, but before taking risks, you need to properly study the color map from which the tone number is built, and imagine what color it will end up with and how it will fall on the original hair color.
Dark strands require clarification, but now paints are available, lightening and tinting them, although the result is unpredictable.
Secrets of caramel hair coloring
To get a caramel tone on the curls, you need to know a few nuances:
- Best of all, any paint rests on a clean, original tone, the more colors it had before caramel, the more likely it was to get unwanted shades, washing to a stable and even shade helps to improve the result of subsequent staining;
- Natural blond and bleached hair are more likely to get a caramel shade;
- Lightening dark hair is best done with low oxidants, in order to preserve the structure, in most cases, yellowness is neutralized by tinting in the desired color, in the case of caramel, yellowness fits into the golden overflow of paint and looks natural.
How to get caramel hair color at home
Caramel hair color is very capricious and difficult to dye at home. Get more or less natural color can only be light or pre-clarified (preferably in the cabin) strands.
For light brown hair, it is possible to obtain light golden shades with natural rinses with rhubarb, linden and chamomile, as well as toning with tinted shampoos. For even natural dark curls, paint with a little lightening and toning may be suitable.
How to keep caramel brilliance: care features
Care for dyed hair always begins with food, no matter what color it is. Any, even the most professional dye dries and destroys the hair structure, gradually depriving them of shine and elasticity. To preserve the beauty of colored strands and color for a long time, you need to follow simple rules:
- Pamper your hair with nourishing and oil masks; oils and vitamins smooth the surface of the hair, covering the scales, which not only improves the appearance, adds shine and makes the curls obedient, but also contributes to the preservation of color;
- Herbal gargling with chamomile for blond hair will also be a good tinting and health-improving agent; In addition, lemon juice and apple cider vinegar have a pleasant brightening effect: adding these ingredients to the rinse water will give you a healthy shine and light clarification;
- You should not wash your hair with hot water, as it dries hair, and the skin on the contrary quickly becomes oily; it is better to wash the strands with warm water and rinse with cool water for extra shine;
- Avoid large amounts of shampoos and styling products; shampoo for light and colored curls are well suited for washing due to the special formula; for colored strands, professional professional shampoos and balms that have a gentle composition with a reduced amount of alkalies are best suited, so that they do not wash out the paint like ordinary household shampoos;
- The sun dries hair heavily; this must be remembered, going out in hot weather; sunscreen sprays and hats are the solution;
- Salon lamination is also a good way to preserve color and gloss, which seals scales, preventing the rapid washout of paint.
In conclusion, I would like to say that caramel hair color is beautiful and attractive, but it requires special attention when choosing a shade and leaving after dyeing, which should not be forgotten.
