Step 1: Start your style by prepping clean, dry hair with a heat protectant spray.

Spray the product onto dry hair from about 6 to 8 inches away, being sure not to apply too much or it will weigh down your hair.

When prepping brunette hair for caramel highlights, it’s best to use a hydration mask on the ends of your hair.

When prepping brunette hair for caramel highlights, it’s best to use a hydrating mask on the ends of your hair. Hydration and moisture are important when it comes to keeping your hair healthy, and when wet, your locks are at their most vulnerable. The conditioner will help keep moisture in the strands and make styling easier as well.

Caramel highlights can be tricky to pull off if you don’t have the right coloring strategy or tools—but with these tips, you’ll know exactly how to style them!

Section your hair into manageable parts.

Step 2: Section your hair into manageable parts.

Now that you have chosen the color and style of highlights, it’s time to start actually putting them in. This step is essential for getting an even application of lightened strands throughout your head of hair.

To begin, comb through your hair with a wide-toothed comb or brush (a brush will help distribute product more evenly). If you have long or thick hair, you may want to divide it into two sections so that styling will be easier later on when adding highlights and keeping them from getting matted down together in one spot. If this is too much trouble for now, no worries—just make sure to section off these larger chunks so that they can be smoothed out easily at later steps!

Once you’ve decided how big or small each section should be based on personal preference (the right amount will depend on whether you want a lot of contrast between roots and ends), use clips or bobby pins around their edges so they’ll stay put while being worked on next by both hands at once without moving around too much during application time; if necessary try using some gel too since this helps keep everything in place while still allowing easy access during application without worrying about losing track anywhere else along the way either…

Use a flat iron to help create the perfect caramel highlight.

Using a flat iron to create the perfect caramel highlight is pretty simple. First, decide what size highlights you want. Then, pick up a flat iron with a barrel that is this size so that it can be as close to your actual highlights as possible. Next, use the flat iron on only the top layer of your hair and make sure that it is not too hot! If you put too much heat on your hair and cook it with caramel highlights for too long, then it will become too brittle and break off easily when washed or brushed out.

Make sure to wrap your ends around the barrel of your flat iron before pulling it through each section of hair.

• Wrap each section of hair around the barrel of your flat iron, slowly pulling it through.
• Avoid pulling it through too quickly or you may damage the ends of your hair.
• Repeat this step on all sections until you’ve done the whole head, then apply a shine serum to enhance the highlights and lock them in place.

Make sure you end with a shine serum to really emphasize the beautiful caramel tones in your highlights!

When you’re finished with your hair and ready to step outside, make sure you end with a shine serum to really emphasize the beautiful caramel tones in your highlights! If you don’t have one yet, we recommend picking up one from your local drugstore. Not only do they protect from heat damage and prevent frizz, but they also help keep moisture in your hair so it looks shiny and healthy for weeks on end. Now that’s what I call style!

Follow these steps and you’ll have exceptionally beautiful caramel highlights in no time at all.

• Use a heat protectant spray to prevent further damage to your hair.
• Apply a hydrating mask to the ends of your hair, as well as between each section that you’re highlighting before you begin working with the flat iron. This will help keep your strands healthy and moisturized for when you want to change up your highlight color or style in the future!
• Divide your hair into manageable parts, then work with one section at a time. You can do this by wrapping it around two fingers from root to tip, or by creating two pigtails on either side and using them for traction as you move down towards their ends (the latter is probably easier).
• Begin applying heat protectant sprays onto each section of dry hair first before beginning any styling techniques; this will help ensure longevity in terms of how long these highlights last on those who decide not only wear them but also style them throughout their lives).
