Caramel Ombré
Espresso roots blending into a warm mid-brown caramel through the ends, a shorter drop in depth than a blonde ombre.

Only about three levels separate root from ends, so the whole thing stays inside the brown family and reads as light catching the lengths rather than an obvious two-tone. Indoors it can look like a single rich brown; outside the caramel turns visibly golden. It is the gentlest ombre to grow out and among the least damaging, because the ends rarely need to go past a level seven. Fade heads toward a flat mushroom brown.
- Undertonewarm. The caramel carries a clear orange-gold base, which sits naturally against warm, golden and olive skin and can look sallow beside a very pink complexion.
- Starting pointLight and medium brown hair reaches caramel with a single lift on the ends, while dark brown or black needs bleach to clear the underlying red first.
- UpkeepA warm gloss every ten to twelve weeks keeps the caramel from going muddy, the root needs no work, and the shallow lift keeps condition cost low.
Try it before the bleach
