Step-by-Step Guide

Divide the hair into multiple sections and assign different caramel shades to each section. Apply the dyes carefully, ensuring each tone remains distinct but blended.

Use light strokes to merge the edges of each color. This prevents harsh lines while maintaining variation.

After processing, rinse thoroughly. The final result should display multiple caramel tones that create a rich and dimensional appearance.

Common Beginner Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
