Color How-To: Caramel Latte Band Blend

The phrase “good things come to those who wait” couldn’t ring truer when it comes to hair color. Before going lighter, senior colorist Matteo Minute (@matteo_edwardsandco) believes it’s better to start with a corrective appointment (if necessary) to even the canvas before blonding strands. True to this statement, this dreamy caramel latte color is the result of a much-needed triple-band correction. Not only does the color fix the client’s natural roots, old permanent tint in the mid-section and brassy ends with a color melt and balayage, but it’s also the perfect in-between shade for clients waiting to go lighter.
