Warm hues add an effortless radiance to any complexion – they create an inviting sun-kissed radiance and can easily be maintained between salon visits using toner.
But how can you select the appropriate hue for a client? That depends on their skin and eye colors.
Honey Tones
Warm honey tones offer an irresistibly sweet alternative to icy blonde, perfect for women with medium skin tones.
Margot Robbie and Chiara Ferragni are famous for rocking this look with balayage highlights; you can also try going all over for an effortless beachy effect. While this style works in any season, summer shines especially bright while fall brings warm brown tones into play for maximum impact.
If you opt for an allover warm honey blonde shade, be sure to use a nourishing shampoo that protects against dryness and breakage. A great example is L’Oreal Paris Color Gloss One Step In-Shower Toning Gloss; its affordable formula enhances shine while toning blonde tones as you shower – great for light to medium warm blonde tones in particular!
Buttery Highlights
Buttery highlights, which recall sun-kissed skin tones, complement lighter eye colors like blue or gray beautifully. Achieving this hue using balayage techniques results in natural-looking multidimensional blonde highlights that look absolutely irresistible!
Strawberry blonde offers a warmer take on this trend, boasting all of the shades found in nature! Perfect for pearly complexions and any eye color; though easier to achieve if your base color is already light blonde.
Assemble this look by asking your stylist for a gradual rootless highlight application. This method will create natural-looking blonde hues without damaging their rich tones; making this technique ideal for brunettes who wish to go lighter without losing their rich tones. To maintain the lush warmth of your new look between salon visits, consider using Redken EQ Hair Gloss which helps neutralize brassy tones and keep brassy tones at bay.
Cream Soda
Cream soda is an irresistibly refreshing fizzy beverage that resides somewhere between cola and root beer in terms of taste, yet boasts its own distinct character. First created as an “temperance drink” to accommodate people forced to abstain from alcohol due to newly implemented laws, it quickly gained popularity due to its delectable flavor. Cream soda first made its debut appearance in 1852 as an anti-alcohol solution.
Early soda included an actual splash of cream! This may have been because refrigeration wasn’t yet an issue and they had to harvest their ice from lakes and ponds; often this ice was contaminated with human waste; thus prompting people to add cream as an ice cream substitute in their beverages.
Though cream soda no longer contains actual cream, its name still sticks due to the flavour resembling it. A simple and sweet beverage, cream soda is ideal as either an individual treat or combined with ice cream for an irresistibly refreshing treat – like OLIPOP’s Caffeine-Free Cream Soda which is sure to become an instant classic!
Bronde
Bronde is a beautifully sunny combination of blonde and brown hues that provides an authentic sun-kissed effect, complementing all skin tones from lighter blondes to brunettes.
Bronde is an ideal low-maintenance option for those with naturally golden or honey blonde locks or those who fear going too light, thus minimizing risk of brassiness. Brunettes looking to go lighter may want to test the waters first with bronde as a transition step before opting for fully blonde shades, according to Barron-Hough.
The ideal bronde shade lies somewhere in between yellow and gold tones – Gigi Hadid has beautiful flaxen blonde locks that are almost grayish-beige in hue, which exemplify this ideal. Brunettes may find that opting for bronde hue is less damaging and richer in tone; furthermore, its sophisticated yet natural appearance adds depth and dimension that compliments both complexion and eye color perfectly.
