Spotlight on: caramel hair colours

Blonde and brunette hair trends come and go, but there’s one shade that never seems to disappear – caramel hair colours. Not quite blonde, not quite brunette and not quite red, caramel hair colours strike that perfect, effortless balance between those solid shades we usually wear.

Whether it’s a caramel brown hair colour or a caramel blonde hair colour, there are a million different shades to try. So if you’re wanting to update your locks but don’t want to commit to a single shade, try these caramel hair hues on for size, courtesy of some of our favourite celebrities…


Jennifer Aniston

Jen’s warm caramel strands have been imitated for years! Is it really any wonder she’s such a hair icon?

Lily Aldridge

Lily keeps her base colour natural brunette but uses soft, subtle caramel highlights around her face to warm up her complexion.

Jennifer Lopez

J.Lo’s mane strikes the perfect balance between caramel blonde and caramel brown hues. She transitions from fine highlights at the roots to a more solid hue at the ends. Show off your caramel hue like Jen with a similar ponytail style and secure with a strong-hold hairspray like the Goldwell Super Hold Lacquer.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

Rosie perfectly showcases a caramel blonde hair colour, with a blonde base and caramel tones expertly weaved throughout.

Gigi Hadid

Gigi is the queen of in-between hair shades and this caramel-toffee creation is yet another win for her mane.

Behati Prinsloo

If you’re considering a caramel ombré look, it doesn’t get much better than Behati’s soft balayage.

Blake Lively

Creamy caramel tones give depth to Blake’s blonde locks and make her look decidedly more modern.

Rose Byrne

Rose’s deep brunette hue acts as the perfect base for caramel highlights, which have been painted throughout her mane.

Jessica Alba

She’s been blonde, she’s been brunette, she’s even been red! But when she’s not changing her hair for a role Jessica rarely strays from this caramel-brunette hybrid hue.

Ciara

Ciara leaves her roots natural to minimise regrowth (smart!) and has her colourist run various caramel shades throughout her long lengths.

Keen to try out a caramel hue? Head in salon and ask for a demi-permanent hair colour to minimise the colour damage (and the dreaded hair dye regret!). bh loves: Goldwell Professional Colorance, muk Haircare Hybrid Cream Hair Color. Which is your favourite caramel hair shade? Have you tried it before?
