Caramel Money Piece

Two caramel sections at the part framing the face, warm rather than bright, so the contrast against dark hair stays gentle.

The two warm sections at the part frame the face without the hard contrast of a blonde money piece. Against dark brown they read as light catching the front pieces rather than as a block of color, which is the whole draw for anyone who wants the shape of a money piece and none of the drama. Tied back, the warmth still sits at the hairline. The regrowth line reaches the part around two months in.

  • Undertonewarm. Golden brown at the hairline puts warmth right next to the skin, which suits olive, golden and deep complexions and avoids the gray cast a cool blonde can throw.
  • Starting pointTwo small front sections lifted a few levels, which dark brown hair will take in one appointment without needing to reach blonde.
  • UpkeepAround eight weeks, since regrowth sits at the part where it is most visible, though the low lift means the pieces stay in decent condition.

Questions about Caramel Money Piece

Which skin undertones suit Caramel Money Piece?
Warm undertones. Golden brown at the hairline puts warmth right next to the skin, which suits olive, golden and deep complexions and avoids the gray cast a cool blonde can throw.
What hair do I need to start with for Caramel Money Piece?
Two small front sections lifted a few levels, which dark brown hair will take in one appointment without needing to reach blonde.
How much upkeep does Caramel Money Piece need?
Around eight weeks, since regrowth sits at the part where it is most visible, though the low lift means the pieces stay in decent condition.
Can I get a caramel money piece on dark hair without bleaching?
Often, yes. Caramel sits only a few shades above dark brown, so on virgin dark brown hair a high-lift color can reach it on the two front sections in one appointment. Hair that has been dyed before, or hair that is close to black, usually needs a little lightener on those pieces, because color cannot lift color. Ask for a high-lift caramel on virgin hair and a gentle lighten and tone if your front sections hold old dye.
What is a caramel money piece?
Two face-framing sections at the front hairline colored a warm golden brown, a few shades lighter than the rest of the hair. It is the softer, warmer version of the blonde money piece: the face looks brighter without a hard stripe of contrast, which is why it suits dark brown hair and warm, olive and deep skin tones.
Can I try Caramel Money Piece on my own photo before I dye my hair?
Yes. HairGlam puts Caramel Money Piece on a photo of your own hair in a few seconds, so you can check it against your skin tone and eye color before you book or buy a box dye. It is free to download on iPhone and iPad with 12 free looks: 4 haircuts, 4 hair colors and 4 makeup looks, and some looks can also be tried free in your browser at hairglam.app/try.
