If you want to look younger, there are numerous strategies you can employ. One such option is changing your hair color.
Light colors such as honey blonde are great way to look younger because of their warm undertone. Also, try caramel brown if you have fair skin as this shade appears natural.
Honey Blonde
Honey blonde is one of the youngest-looking choices for hair colors. This bright hue blends warm blonde and golden brown hues for an eye-catching finish that brightens any complexion. Honey blonde also provides an easy way to lighten hair without going completely blonde; warm hues won’t wash out their skin tone completely.
If you’re feeling intimidated by going blonde, try going for a light honey shade with subtle face-framing highlights instead. This trend has been popular with everyone from Gigi Hadid to Sofia Richie Grainge and is perfect for anyone seeking a natural, sun-kissed glow.
Keep your honey blonde looking its best with L’Oreal Paris Superior Preference Fade-Defying Shine Permanent Hair Color in Brunette Ash, which contains purple pigments to neutralize brassy tones in both blonde and highlighted hair. Combine this product with L’Oreal EverPure Sulfate-Free Brass Toning Purple Shampoo and Conditioner to keep it healthy and vibrant!
Caramel Brown
Caramel Brown is a stunning warm-toned hue ideal for brunettes who wish to keep their roots dark without going through drastic hair transformation. Packed with caramel, brown, and copper tones, it can easily be toned down by darker brown shades or brightened up with lighter blonde highlights for added dimension. Caramel Brown compliments all skin tones beautifully – you don’t even need to use extensions!
Caramel brown balayage is an exquisite addition to any layered haircut, making the color pop when styled with loose waves or curls with a styling wand to show the depth and dimension of this technique. To bring out its best features, pair loose waves or curls created using this method with it for maximum dimension and contrast.
For natural-looking, long-term hair color that won’t wash out, ask your stylist to use Sombre Coloring Opens in a new tab to paint light caramel highlights onto your dark brown strands. This subtle ombre technique creates an easy transition of color from root to tip and is an effective way to refresh your color without drastic transformations.
Copper Brown
Scarlett Johansson, Sydney Sweeney and Halsey have made copper an in-vogue hue; but if full-on red seems too intense for your skin tone, ask your stylist to create an ashy copper blonde or warm copper brown instead.
Dark hair makes for the ideal canvas for copper highlights. Starting with a deep mahogany brown base, balayage of caramel and copper highlights add dimension while simultaneously adding shine.
Lighter tones of copper make for ideal highlights in a wavy lob style; their mixture of light and dark copper tones gives an extra pop of shine that makes any look complete.
No matter the color you select, make sure your locks stay healthy between appointments by using color-safe shampoo and thermal protection spray when styling. Alternating between shampooing and co-washing every other day also keeps your tresses shiny.
Caramel Highlights
Caramel highlights are an easy way to lighten dark hair without undertaking an intensive hair color transformation. Unfortunately, they tend to fade quickly so for optimal results pair your caramel highlights with high-quality shampoo and conditioner that can keep their hue vibrant between salon visits.
Lucy Hale looks exquisite wearing a light caramel shade that effortlessly marries her natural brunette roots with golden highlights; we can’t get enough! This hue looks particularly great on darker-skinned women as it brings out golden flecks in their eyes and enhances them further.
Honey balayage, with its warm golden honey tones and subtle ombre effect, is another trend-setter in hairstyling. Ouzhan Karaosmanoglu was on-trend by adding soft caramel highlights into this brunette’s luscious locks for a beautiful blend with her light brown base color. He further enhanced this look with face-framing babylights placed strategically throughout for an exquisite natural finish.
