I've Done the Research—This Rich, Glossy Hair Colour Is the Key to Looking Elegant This Winter
There's nothing better than starting the new season with a fresh hair colour to compliment your winter wardrobe. During this time of year people tend to opt for deeper, richer tones, and in my opinion these shades look so elegant. Pair them with a glossy finish and you've got yourself a match made in heaven.
From chocolate cherry hair colours to chestnut brown hues, there's definitely a theme this season, and this latest trend is no exception. After having a look on Google Trends, I noticed more and more people searching for caramel hair inspiration, and I can totally see why. Although this chic, creamy brown hair colour is nothing new, there are lots of ways to wear it in 2024, from super glossy finishes to subtle caramel balayage and even copper caramel tones.
The warm, rich shade is such a timeless choice and is bound to see you through winter and beyond. Plus, it will pair beautifully with this season's biggest fashion colour trends, from burgundy to navy and olive green. If you're thinking of giving the caramel hair trend a go, I've rounded up some of my favourite looks below, so keep on scrolling and don't forget to screenshot your favourite pictures to take to the salon...
Caramel Hair Colour Inspiration
1. Glossy Caramel
As mentioned above, this colour looks great with a glossy finish as it helps to enhance the warm brown shade. There are lots of ways to achieve this, from in-salon treatments to at-home hair masks.
2. Caramel Balayage
If you don't fancy a full hair transformation, why not try caramel balayage? This is such a great way to bring a little more dimension to brunette locks.
3. Caramel Highlights
Highlights are another great way to add dimension to the hair, and I'm obsessed with Beyoncé's caramel money pieces.
4. Copper Caramel
Copper hair is so on trend for autumn and winter, but this copper caramel shade takes the trend to the next level.
5. Deep Caramel
This caramel shade works beautifully with deeper brunette tones as you can see from the picture above.
6. Blonde Caramel
It also works well with lighter hair tones. The creamy hue will help to give your blonde hair a softer finish that is perfect for winter.
7. Creamy Caramel
This is the picture I'm taking to the hairdressers. I love how warm and glossy Jennifer Lopez's hair looks.
8. True Caramel
If you want to fully embrace the trend, why not go for a full caramel hair transformation? Just be prepared to get a lot of compliments...
