Goodbye, bronde. Sun-kissed caramel hair isn't exactly new (case in point: Jennifer Lopez' entire career), but it's finally getting the recognition it deserves. The warm, honeyed brown is a universally flattering shade that works all-over, as highlights, or in a subtle ombre fade. See how your next hair crush wears the shade good enough to eat, ahead.
