Southern Living's editorial guidelines Updated on June 27, 2022 Share Tweet Pin Email Trending Videos Photo: @mustinnn We want something fresh, new, and a little bit toasty. That's why we aren't calling our colorist for platinum blonde, but honey gold instead. Caramel brown hair is the one color trend that'll make you look wonderfully warm and bright, no matter how you do it. Somewhere between brunette and blonde, this shade instantly puts the pep back in your step, the oomph back in your look. Pick something with zing like golden caramel or rich like caramel cinnamon, as long as you don't miss out on this popular color. Here are 15 gorgeous examples of caramel hair color to show your colorist ASAP. 01 of 15 Subtle Chestnut Caramel @mizzchoi This warmed up mane is more about bringing fresh dimension to chocolate strands.
