How to create caramel rosé hair color "I like to mix a few variations of tones to achieve caramel rosé hair color on pre-lightened hair," Gregory says. Yes, you read that right: your hair must be pre-lightened in order for this pretty hue to show up. When it comes to the different tones, Gregory likes to play around with all levels of pink, rose gold, gold, copper and strawberry blond shades. By not sticking to just one color or level, it allows her to create a more dimensional caramel rosé end look.

Since this hair color trend requires so many different shades in unison, Gregory advises anyone who wants to embrace the look to enlist the help of a professional as it can get pretty messy. "Because this color can fade very fast or, if not done correctly, look flat or just plain brassy, you need a professional to consult with to pick the colors that are best suited for your skin tone and lifestyle," Gregory explains.

Even the queen of color understands that there are people out there who really value their hair color DIY skills, so she recommends starting out with ultra-blonde hair and relying on the power of a color-correction or color-depositing shampoo, like those from Bleach London, as opposed to semi-permanent or permanent hair color, which could end up creating damage or an end look you weren't expecting.
