While cooler, brighter tones like Alpine blonde hair will always have their place, honey blonde offers a softer, more wearable way to lighten up. Like teddy bear blonde and barn girl blonde, the shade sits within the warm blonde family. “If you’re already blonde, a gloss or toner incorporating warm golden tones can be enough to shift the colour towards honey, whereas darker hair may need some strategically placed highlights or balayage first,” explains Collier.
