Is caramel right for you?
What to ask your colourist
A level 6–7 golden brown. All over, or as balayage or babylights through a darker base. From dark brown it needs some lightening first.
Keeping it fresh
Caramel can turn brassy as it fades. A gold-neutral gloss and a purple or blue shampoo once a week keep it warm rather than orange.

Caramel hair colour
Caramel or honey?
Caramel is darker and more brown; honey is a golden blonde. On dark hair caramel needs less lightening.
Can I get caramel as balayage?
Yes, it is one of the most asked-for balayage shades. The studio colours the full length, so treat the preview as the colour of the lightest pieces.
Will my real colour look like the preview?
Take it as a direction, not a promise. The salon result depends on your current colour, your hair’s condition, the products and your colourist, and the light in your photo changes how a shade reads.
