Hair has always been the pride of every girl, girl, woman and even grandmother. But in ancient times, the church categorically forbade the demonstration of this property, considered it sinful. Therefore, beautiful ladies hid the scalp under various hats, hoods and other flirtatious paraphernalia.
However, the current canons are fundamentally different from those that were once. And now modern women of fashion are allowed to put their marvelous hair on public display. It is this freedom that gives the fair sex the opportunity to experiment with their curls as they please. For example, to give dark hair the color "caramel blond", which in ancient times was achieved with the help of saffron, honey and even stale sheep urine. Now it’s enough to buy a tube with a special mixture that gives the desired color, dilute it in a plastic bowl, apply it to your hair and let it sit for about half an hour.
The most difficult thing is to decide what shade the beauty wants to dye her hair. For example, in recent years it has become increasingly popularcaramel hair color. But is it for everyone? How to get great results? And is it possible to “caramelize” curls at home? We will provide detailed answers to these and many other important questions in the material below.
What's special about the color?
What associations arise when we think of caramel? Surely, many people remember delicious candy and sweet molasses, or mentally draw an image of a dandelion field, through which buzzing bees fly and collect pollen for fragrant honey of a golden hue. Caramel color suggests summer, warmth and sun. That's why many women choose it, and not the standard shades: black, blond, brown and red.
In addition, light, golden or dark caramel hair color is remarkable in that it adorns almost any beautiful person. Regardless of her age, type of haircut and hair length. But stylists explain the high popularity of the current peak shade not only by this. They name four main factors that make the beautiful half of humanity choose it for coloring their hair. And this:
- The aesthetic potential of the caramel palette. It should be understood as a unique feature of the color, which consists in the fact that it does not look banal, but due to golden highlights it makes you look much younger.
- Mixing the sharpness of facial features, achieved through the softness, tenderness, playfulness and femininity of the studied shade.
- The illusory volume that caramel overflows give to the hair.
- Huge paletteshades, allowing every young fashionista or older stylish lady to choose a color that makes her charming.
However, despite the seeming versatility, caramel hair color is more suitable for some ladies. Therefore, below we will present recommendations on who should use paint with such a shade, and who should refrain.
Will caramel suit you?
In order to answer the question formed in the title, it is necessary to reintroduce the sweet candy. What color is she? Golden brown, dark red, light yellow, ocher, etc. That is, exceptionally warm tones dominate in this palette of shades. For this reason, caramel hair color is best for owners of the following appearance features:
- fair skin and blue eyes;
- light skin with a slight tan and blue or light gray eyes;
- dark skin and green eyes;
- olive skin tone and gray or blue-gray eyes;
- very tanned skin and golden brown or bright green eyes;
- dark skin and hazel, light brown or amber eyes.
Should I refrain from dyeing my hair caramel?
We have already noted that the color studied in the article is able to decorate almost any representative of the weaker sex. Therefore, in this paragraph, we will tell you who is wiser to avoid it. So, if a beautiful person is the owner of very fair skin, that is, distinguished, as is often written in books, by porcelain palloror a pale pink undertone, it is better for her to choose a coloring agent of a different tone. After all, having dyed her hair in the color “caramel blond” (photo suggested below), she will give her face a painful pallor and some kind of fatigue.
The same recommendation applies to ladies with a cold shade of eyes. If a girl or woman has black, rich blue or dark brown pigments in her iris, she should not buy a caramel palette tint in the store. This will not bring beauty and elegance to her appearance, but, on the contrary, will make the image unnatural and unattractive.
What is important to know about the cherished shade?
Caramel hair color looks very beautiful, but before you go to a beauty salon or try to realize a dream on your own, you need to carefully prepare. And this applies not only to the determination to change radically or slightly tweak your appearance. Rather, this is a secondary issue and not so significant.
After all, it is much more important to assess the condition of the hair on your own or with the help of a professional look from a salon master. Perhaps they are badly damaged or have been recently dyed with natural dyes such as basma or henna. After all, if the latter circumstance takes place, then caramel-colored hair dye can appear on the hair with a very unexpected green undertone. A similar situation will occur if the hair of a beautiful person was bleached, that is, she was a blonde. Only in this case, the tint of the caramel palette will give the hair a coppershade.
And it is also important to note that you need to “caramelize” your hair yourself with great care. Because the desired color is very capricious. Finding the right tone is not always possible even for experienced stylists, let alone people who are completely ignorant of coloring matters.
The next thing to say about caramel hair color is further care for it. After all, the length of the hair increases by about one centimeter per month. And this means that in a couple of weeks after going to the salon, the natural hair color will appear. It will be more noticeable every day, thanks to regrown roots. Therefore, dyeing your hair in the desired shade, you need to be prepared for the fact that it will not work to change your appearance and forget about yourself your beloved for a long time. Indeed, without proper care, the hair will lose its attractiveness.
And last. Many stylists recommend a bob haircut for caramel hair color (photo below). It is said that she will look more spectacular than others.
Best dark colors
We have already mentioned molasses and delicious candy - caramel. But we ask the reader to remember them again. Rather, imagine them. What color are they? After all, it is simply impossible to answer this question unambiguously. Because each product will have its own tone. And if you remember about boiled condensed milk, beloved by all children, it becomes completely clear that it also differs in its shade. The same is true with caramel hair color. The photos presented in this article only prove it. After all, there are no similar tones and cannot be. However, from the extensive palette of caramel shades, several of the brightest, most interesting, elegant, and therefore popular can be distinguished.
And then we will explore each in detail to help the reader figure out which one to pay special attention to. Let's start with the options recommended for redheads, brown-haired women and brunettes.
Chocolate caramel - a "delicious" color that combines red and chocolate tones. A woman who has dyed her curls in this shade looks very sophisticated, feminine, and dignified. In addition, this caramel hair color for brown eyes (photo below) is perfect.
Dark caramel - a color that looks very interesting, thanks to a special method of application. It is almost impossible to carry it out at home. Indeed, in order to achieve a perfectly even tone, stylists first apply paint with a pigment of a wheaten or light blond shade, and already a darker tint is applied on top of it.
Caramel black is the most complex and rich color. At first glance, it seems to be an ordinary chestnut, but after a close examination, it becomes obvious that it looks many times more lively and interesting. For example, the famous actress Mila Kunis dyes her hair only in this shade. And it looks stunning at the same time. You can verify this by looking at her photo. Caramel hair color gives her sensuality and tenderness.
Best light colors
The following tones of the studied color are the easiest to achieveowners of light brown, ashy and other light shades of hair. Brunettes, brown-haired women and redheads will have to work hard and endure for some time before showing off to their friends a radical change in image. The main thing is to carefully consider whether the chosen tone is suitable before staining. Perhaps it is better to use the shades suggested in the previous paragraph. If the decision is final and not subject to appeal, then we will present the best blonde caramel hair colors.
Light caramel (photo is presented in the next paragraph) - a classic color that has incorporated two leading tones: light brown and blond. And due to the golden tints, it turned out to be unique and incredibly in demand both among young girls and among those over thirty, forty or fifty. That is why many domestic and foreign celebrities preferred it. And among ordinary girls who can be seen right on the street, he is also popular.
Caramel blonde is a charming hair color. The photo of the best coloring option is shown to us by the singer Adele. Its main features are warmth, seductiveness and maximum proximity to the natural shade. It looks like wheat, but looks much brighter, thanks to golden sparks. Girls choose it if they want to look "simple and tasteful".
Honey-caramel - a bright, noticeable and very original hair color, which differs from the previous one with a touch of red pigment. It makes the look warm and good-natured. It will be extremely difficult to pass by such a girl.
Caramel-blond is a hair color notable for its unusual and rather rare combination of cold and warm tones. And if a girl is also distinguished by dark skin and gray or light blue eyes, then her image will be truly luxurious.
How do you define your tone?
Of course, the simplest answer to the question formed in the title of the current paragraph sounds quite simple: seek help from a professional. And this is not surprising, because people who have chosen the beauty industry as their life's work know best of all what paints to choose for caramel hair color to beautify their appearance, and not spoil it.
But if the lady is used to doing everything herself, we will describe a few general recommendations that eminent stylists advise to follow:
- For green, hazel or amber hazel eyes and dark skin, as well as girls whose natural hair color is red, chocolate caramel color with light honey highlights is ideal.
- For dark brown eyes and dark olive skin - caramel, close to copper.
- For blue, hazel or amber eyes and tanned skin - light caramel hair color (photo presented after recommendations). This shade will give a girl or woman a glow, make the image romantic and flirty.
- For dark blue or gray eyes, combined with slightly tanned fair skin - caramel with golden highlights.
- For green, blue or silver gray eyes and fair skin - a caramel shade with brightpronounced honey tint.
And another trick used by stylists. If a girl doubts which of the two colors suits her better, it is better to give preference to the darker one. Indeed, in this case, the result will be just perfect.
How to avoid mistakes?
Stylists note that it is easiest to choose the right coloring agent for light-eyed girls, whose natural shade of curls is blond or light brown. But determining the appropriate caramel hair color for brown eyes (photo can be seen at the end of the paragraph) is much more difficult. Especially without professional help. In addition, brunettes or brown-haired women, in order to achieve the perfect tone, will have to use brightening agents that cause tremendous damage to the hair structure.
But if such a girl or woman still wants to “caramelize” her hair, stylists recommend that she pay attention to a palette of golden chocolate shades. Or use natural dyes that can give a honey shine, sparkle, radiance to the natural hair color.
In addition, the world's leading stylists warn the fair sex against experiments on their own appearance, carried out at home. After all, it is almost impossible to achieve a beautiful honey-caramel hair color (or another from the desired palette of shades) on your own. Especially if you use non-professional paint, which is freely available on the shelves of various cosmetic stores.
It is also important for girls and women to know thatcaramel shades adorn only he althy hair. And, on the contrary, they attract unwanted attention to damaged or unkempt curls, split ends or an unsuccessful haircut. Therefore, some beauties, before trying to change their appearance, need to cure their hair. You can do this in any beauty salon or on your own, using various infusions, masks, oils and other cosmetics that you can do yourself.
If you don't want to radically change your image…
Many girls would like to show off their light caramel hair color, but due to various circumstances, this is not always possible. Therefore, stylists offer two of the most original and affordable (even at home) solutions:
- highlighting;
- ombre coloring.
Is it possible to "caramelize" hair with folk remedies?
Many ladies with dark curls dream of the cherished hair color "caramel blond" (photo suggested above). But few decide to achieve it with the help of clarifying mixtures. After all, as a result of incorrect actions, you can not achieve the desired result, and even lose your hair. Therefore, further we would like to talk about folk remedies that you can do on your own (without the help of stylists and salon masters) at home:
- Henna and turmeric. To get a natural clarifying mixture, you need to combine an equal amount of these components in a plastic bowl. And boil them in boiling water. The gruel should be quitethick, to simplify the application process. You can keep it on your hair for no longer than an hour.
- Liquid honey. First, the ingredient should be diluted with water, bringing to the consistency of sour cream, then applied to the hair, covered with a film and wrapped with a towel. Leave on hair for approximately 5-12 hours.
The best folk remedies have been listed above to help achieve light, golden or honey-caramel hair color. However, it is important to understand that they can only lighten hair by a few tones.
