Caramel brown hair is a warm blend of brown and golden blonde hair color shades. Warm, rich caramel is a beautiful shade for brunettes! Some are deeper, and some are lighter, but all variations of this color scheme are warm and delicious.
Explore these caramel brown hair colors and get ready to try a new hue! From light and sweet to dark and dreamy, the possibilities are endless. Here are the best caramel brown hair color ideas:
#1: Long Caramel Brown Wavy Hair
This is a perfect hairstyle for this Spring season. The highlights add a fresh nuance to the warm tint. The colors tangle smoothly and shine with curly as well as straight hair. I recommend it for brunettes with long hair. It keeps you at the top of your game despite not refreshing the color monthly. The warm brown tint looks a unique intensity. Since the different shades flatter every color type, any complexion can dare this color adventure.
#2: Honeyed Balayage
A rich honey tone takes your balayage to new heights- perfect for the fall season. To deepen your color, your hair expert should use a demi-permanent. This will let you change tones in the future without lightening as it fades gently over time. Adding depth with a demi-permanent color also adds shine and conditions the blonde strands that have endured the summer. You can feel confident embracing this change!
#3: Dimensional Caramel Balayage on Brown Hair
Caramel balayage added to your brown hair is the perfect color combination. Balayage is a color technique where lighter pieces are hand-painted in your hair to create soft and natural ribbons of color. Caramel is my favorite color to create on dark hair. It’s rich, soft, and natural looking.
#4: Beautifully Blended with Dark Roots
Ask for beautifully blended caramel brown with dark roots for your next hair color. Dyeing your hair dark doesn’t have to look stark and allows the illusion of soft grown-out color. Always ask your stylist if a caramel tone would be right for you.
#5: Dashing Caramel Brown Balayage for Olive Skin
Genuine brown is the best hair color for olive skin, but any shade will also look good. Note that all skin tones come in a range of underlying tones, so you better consult your stylist first for the best recommendation.
#6: Golden Caramel Brown Hair
If you have long, thick hair, ask your stylist to achieve a look that helps you look sun-kissed and more natural. The nice thing about this style is that it’s very low-maintenance and well-blended.
#7: Stunning Short Caramel Brown Hair
These sweet caramel-brown hair hues on a layered bob could make you look picture-perfect! You can also add some flirty waves for volume and depth. The light brown shade comes out nicely with this haircut.
#8: Evening Out Brown Waves
We love these big voluminous, shiny brown waves painted with sweet caramel highlights! This style is adorable on any night out with friends or on a date! The dark brown with the highlights creates an illusion with the waves.
#9: Stunning Dark Brown with Caramel Brown Highlights
These caramel brown highlights are a natural, sun-kissed balayage. The best thing about this look is that it’s amazing if you have never tried color and want to try it without gambling too much! It’s also perfect if you want minimal upkeep!
#10: Peek-a-Boo Caramel Brown Color
Go for a dark brunette lob (aka long bob) with a splash and blends of nutmeg and caramel brown tones. It’s a very classy but edgy haircut with lots of movement, volume, and texture. The best thing about this style is that it isn’t just your regular bob. It’s shorter in the back with longer layered pieces in the front.
#11: Head-Turning Caramel Brown Highlights
This is a long layered bob paired with a dark brown color and a caramel brown balayage. My favorite thing is how the lighter pieces of the balayage make the face-framing and shorter layers pop. I suggest not going too close to your skin color for color because it will wash you out.
#12: Neck-Length Hair Caramel Brown and Ashy Silver Tones
This look reminds me of warmth meets cool. I love how it goes from a light brown color to a bright white/silver blonde hair color. Not many women combine caramel brown hair with silver tones, but this hairstyle looks awesome.
#13: Beautiful Long Loose Caramel Brown Curls
This is a more subtle sun-kissed look. I like that it’s very natural; it just looks like you’ve been out in the sun for a bit! This rich brown color is great if you are new to hair coloring. It’s a balayage, so it’s lower maintenance. The nice thing about this is you won’t have to come in to touch up your new hair growth as often. I recommend a color-conserving shampoo to prevent the color from fading quickly. This is good for darker hair types who are looking to add a little bit of dimension to their hair.
#14: Natural Tone on Tone Light and Dark Caramel Brown
Try a natural, tone-on-tone color inspired by rich brown materials like leather and copper. With the textured set, we can feel all the different colors! This look is perfect if you don’t want to visit the salon often. You can easily keep your color beautiful by using good shampoo and conditioner. A 1 1/2-inch curling iron is needed to create the curls, and a good thermal protection product is a must!
#15: Caramel Brown Cream Dimensional Balayage
Try a hair color with creamy dimensional balayage! My favorite thing about this balayage is that it transitioned from a brassy, heavy highlight into a seamless, dimensional balayage. You have the depth of your natural color near the roots but a nice blonde at your ends. You have the best of both worlds, which is especially appealing if you often change your hair from dark to light!
#16: Subtle Caramel and Brown
Subtle caramel and brown hair are wearable and healthy. It gives a natural, bubbly look and a rich, sleek brown color that combines well with straighter hair. This color is manageable and low-maintenance but still fun-looking! The rich caramel brown hair matches best with fair skin tones. Try using L’Oreal’s Smart Bond Hair Treatment for all your hair coloring services, as it helps strengthen and gives your hair more resistance after any hair coloring process.
#17: Yummy Chocolate Brown Lob with Highlights
Consider a rooty chocolate brown lob with caramel brown highlights. This looks great if you are naturally brunette and want something low-maintenance. Since the highlights are teased up before being colored, it allows for a more natural, rooty look that will grow out seamlessly and doesn’t require much upkeep.
#18: Yummy Chocolate Balayage Hair
Opt for a chocolate caramel balayage. It reminds me of a Carmello candy bar. I suggest a brown color if you have warmth in your skin or you’re more narrow in your chin and jawline (triangle or heart-shaped face) or have a wide or square forehead (square rectangle or round face shape). The darkness at the top can diminish the width or length, and the ends being lighter can give the look of a less narrow chin, creating the illusion of the perfect face shape, which is oval.
#19: Soft Golden Caramel Brown
Caramel highlights are one of my favorite looks. It gives your hair a warm glow with depth and contrast. This color complements the dimensions of highs and lows for a warm and bold look. Being a brunette is just as fun as being a blonde. A brown base frames the caramel shades, making it an active lowlight that accentuates the brown hair. Long-haired and short-haired girls should try caramel highlights on brown hair or a caramel hair color at least once. The results will exceed all expectations.
#20: Amazing Dark Caramel Brown
A little balayage will be great when you’re blessed with a natural black base! The result is so stylish with teasylights and babylights. Spread the right amount of hair oil on your long, wavy locks to secure a glossy finish.
