The nostalgia for the 2000s continues. After trends like jelly shoes, tank top layering, and icy blue eyeshadow, it's now time for hair. Jessica Alba (45) serves as the inspiration. While the actress has experimented with various hair colors over the years, one look has particularly stuck in people's memory - her golden, brown-blonde hairstyle with warm caramel tones.
Pictures of it are now increasingly being shown to hairstylists as a reference. TikTok users proudly present their results on the platform - tagged with hashtags like #jessicaalbahair and #jessicaalbareference. The community has already given the hair color its own name: "Honey Caramel". Numbers make the hype tangible: corresponding clips are viewed millions of times and liked hundreds of thousands of times.

How does the hairstyle and styling work?
Anyone who can't show the hairstylist a photo of the actress should ask for a caramel-colored brown-blonde or the trending shade "Honey Caramel". The layers are also crucial, as they give the look more movement and volume.
These layers in particular make styling more demanding. For the classic look, the ends are blow-dried outward. To do this, first divide the towel-dried hair into sections and use some volumizing spray at the roots if needed. Then blow-dry the individual strands inward with a round brush. Afterwards, turn the ends outward - this creates the typical swing. Alternatively, the hair can be styled into waves with a curling iron.
But the imperfect look is also trending. For this, the hair is left to air dry so that each strand falls naturally. Combined with the right Y2K outfit, this looks particularly effortless.
