They say that blondes are more likely to be lucky. One can argue with this, but it is impossible to miss one important fact: men more often pay attention to “blond beasts.” This season, even fashion has taken the side of attractiveness and spring lightness: honey hair color is trending.
Even celebrities choose honey shades of hair. Is it worth pursuing fashion and lightening your hair? The choice is yours. But, today you will learn the features of dyeing your hair in a light shade, and finally decide whether to dye your hair a different color.
Honey-colored hair: shining with beauty
Most women who want to change something in their life start with their hair. The pitch-black hair color has long been out of the water. You need to be closer to nature and the sun. Honey hair color is exactly what you need. Owners of luxurious hair of this color are lucky, because their curls can safely be called golden. Girls who want to conform to fashion (wish to change their color) should not rush to go to stylists. Because a fashionable redhead may not suit them.
Who suits honey hair color?
With the help of hair color, you can add lightness to your image, or vice versa: visually add several years to yourself. The last option does not evoke positive emotions. To achieve maximum results, before the dyeing procedure, you need to find out who is suitable for honey hair color.
Golden-honey hair color is primarily suitable for girls with blue eyes and soft pink skin. Such girls can be classified as spring color type. What about the rest of the fair half of humanity? Will they really have to give up their bright hair color? The honey shade is suitable for girls with brown eyes and dark skin. But, if the data by nature does not coincide with the above parameters, do not despair. Every girl can get a honey hair color, but you just need to focus on makeup and dark skin (so that the reddish color does not cause a bad mood).
Shades of honey hair color
The palette of hair colors allows you to choose any color, thereby making your image individual. Honey color also has variations:
- honey-caramel hair color;
- honey blonde;
- golden honey hair color;
- honey brown hair color;
- honey-blond hair color;
- honey-red hair color.
How to achieve the desired hair color?
In order to repaint it is not at all necessary to look for a colorist and overpay. There are two options available: buy the paint yourself and ask to be dyed at a beauty salon, or achieve a honey shade at home. Two options are effective and efficient.
First option
You can buy hair dye in a special store. Just carefully read the composition of the paint (the paint should not contain ammonia and parabens). Honey coloring products with similar names are suitable:
- honey nectar;
- sand dune;
- honey caramel;
- spiced honey;
- amber.
Second option
You can get honey hair color at home (if you have naturally black hair, home dyeing will not work). It is enough to buy turmeric (one bag) and henna (Iranian). It is necessary to mix the ingredients in equal proportions. Apply the mixture to cleansed hair. Cover with film, tie a towel on top and let the homemade paint sit for half an hour. Just thirty minutes, and the golden honey shade will shine on luxurious hair.
You should not carry out this procedure if the hair coloring procedure has been carried out previously (less than two weeks have passed). Allergic reactions and wounds on the scalp are also contraindications for the procedure.
Brunettes can use another, natural hair coloring method at home. To do this you need to buy saffron. Boil a small amount of seasoning. You will get a decoction to which you should add light henna. Rhubarb root also gives a dark honey tint to hair.
In the process of home dyeing, you can get not only the desired honey hair color, but also strengthen your hair. None of the ingredients will harm your hair. On the contrary, it will have a strengthening effect.
How to care for honey-colored hair: useful tips
The problem with light colored hair is dullness and lifelessness. Even professional dyes harm my hair (I dry it out). To keep your hair healthy and not fall out, you need to carefully care for it.
Thanks to comprehensive care you can:
- maintain a honey-colored hair color;
- moisturize hair;
- accelerate hair growth.
Honey hair not only shows off the features of your appearance, but also unkempt hair. Split ends and unnatural hair color clearly do not make a woman beautiful. It is necessary to carry out home treatments to make your hair shine.
Blonde hair needs intensive care. The first week after dyeing, you must use a special shampoo for colored hair and purchase a professional comb (made of carbon fiber). Because regular combs damage fine hair.
- add a few drops of glycerin to the shampoo. To keep your hair soft and easy to comb;
- use plant-based hair balm (with chamomile extract, aloe);
- Do not overdry light colored hair with a hairdryer, styler, or curling iron. Use heat protectants;
- It is worth trimming the ends of your hair once a month;
- You should wear a swimming cap in the pool (due to the fact that the water there is chlorinated). Hard water makes hair unruly; you should freeze bad water at home and then boil it again;
- use sulfate-free shampoo;
- coconut oil is an assistant in hair care. It is enough to melt a small amount of the product in a water bath. Then apply the aromatic liquid to your hair (three centimeters from the root). After forty minutes, wash off the coconut oil;
- do not comb wet hair (it will become brittle and hair follicles will be damaged);
- A special toning shampoo will help maintain the honey shade of your hair for a long time.
“Honey caramel hair color is at the peak of popularity today,” famous stylists say. You can succumb to the wave of beauty and do fashionable coloring. If you are afraid that dark hair will become lifeless after dyeing it a different color, give yourself an ombre or honey-colored sombre.
Since ancient times, honey curls have been the embodiment of greatness and beauty. The goddess Aphrodite herself had honey color hair. History and generations change, but the shade remains trendy. True, it is not suitable for everyone. At a minimum, you will have to select an appropriate image.
Color Features
Natural honey comes in different varieties and shades. The same applies to honey hair color. This warm shade can vary from very light to darker (closer to beige).
Owners of honey curls can be classified as blondes, but unlike the latter, they look more natural and less vulgar, as often happens with unprofessional blonde dyeing.
Honey color has been relevant for more than one generation. Celebrities love him very much. Uneven color of strands in a professional design, stylishly combines light and dark shades, making the hair look more voluminous.

Their skin has a peach or pinkish blush, and their eye color is light brown, blue or green. On such women, honey color will look natural and stylish.
But this does not mean that other female representatives can forget about such an attractive shade. Women with fair skin and blue eyes can also dye their hair honey color. But in this case, you will have to be especially meticulous in selecting paint and maintaining the color, since honey pigment is not particularly durable.
Due to the rapid fading of color, the appearance may not seem very well-groomed.
Advice. If on curls whose color is close to honey, a similar shade appears when the dye is washed off, then ugly stains may remain on hair that is not the same color. In this case, it is recommended to have the coloring done by professionals, after which the color is periodically updated using tinted shampoos and balms.

Coloring at home
It’s quite simple to get a honey-colored strand without visiting a beauty salon. But if we are talking about brunettes, then achieving the desired result on your own will not be easy, since dyeing will have to be done several times (from dark to light), and this can significantly damage the hair.
Permanent paints
Coloring can be done at home using permanent hair dyes such as:
- L'Oreal. The manufacturer offers 4 half-tones of honey: spicy, light brown, chestnut, amber.
- Schwarzkopf Professional. This line of colors offers a choice from golden blonde to chestnut caramel. The product of this manufacturer is characterized by durability, high quality, and a gentle effect.
- Garnier. This line also includes several shades of honey. You can choose between gentle and aggressive options. The latter lasts longer, but causes damage to curls, especially with frequent use.
- Estel. This is certainly one of the branded lines that offers 5 variations of honey, including nut.
Self-dyeing does not require much time and effort, but it is important to evenly distribute the dye along the entire length of the strands, and then keep it on the hair according to the instructions and the desired result.
Attention! Since the golden hue tends to wash off quickly, permanent hair dyes are the best option for obtaining this color. With proper care, it will last for two months.
Tint preparations
To preserve honey pigment, stylists recommend using tinted shampoos, balms, and tonics. Such products are offered by manufacturers of the following brands: Estel, LOreal, Rocolor, etc. The gentle components that they contain do not cause any harm to the curls.
Achieving a golden color with the help of tint products will be short-lived, but to maintain the shade after painting with permanent paints, they are perfect. Their effect on the hair usually lasts 2-3 weeks, depending on how often the woman washes her hair.
Folk remedies
A honey shade can be obtained not only with the help of professional means, but also by resorting to folk recipes. At the same time, natural products are absolutely harmless to hair, and the result is in no way inferior to salon methods.
To obtain a golden tint on the hair, use turmeric. This Indian seasoning is sold in all grocery stores. It is mixed in equal quantities with Iranian henna, after which it is applied to the hair for 30 minutes. The result will surprise you with its incredibly golden tint.
You can also get the desired color using another seasoning called saffron. Boil a small amount of spices in half a glass of water. After this, mix the broth with henna and apply to hair.

Natural dyes not only allow you to dye your hair without harm, but also strengthen it, saturate it with useful substances, and prevent dryness and brittleness.
Partial coloring techniques
Painting in one tone is not always the optimal solution. Today, the trend is partial coloring techniques, which add creativity and brightness to the image, and additional volume to the hair.
Balayage
Showroom price

- use care products for colored hair, they have a gentle effect on curls, which preserves the brightness of the color longer;

At one fine moment I felt the urge to come out of the black. The most interesting thing is that I didn’t even think that I was so dark) In the photo, my hair was dyed for six months (at level 6!!!) with professional dye (first Matrix, Then Brelil Colorianne Prestige), length by 1.9% oxygente, roots on 3% . The hair has accumulated pigment and voila, the color is already level 3.
*************************************************************************************************************************
The first bleaching took place in a beauty salon (April 2018), since I myself would not have dared to go dark. Two girls worked on me with four hands. Hair thick, porous and long, absorbed the powder like a sponge. So the second time they applied the mixture to me without even pulling off the previous one. In some places the dye didn’t want to come off, mainly on the back of the head, where they treated the hair with 9% oxide. But basically everything went well, thanks to the fact that I dyed my hair for a short time, and only with two types prof. low oxide dye. And this is what happened:
After tinting (I think it was also Londa roots 8 plus drop 7, length 9 plus 7).
=================================================================================
The result is good, without spots, BUT... I didn’t want to be red or golden, I was afraid to see any shade of orange or yellow on my head. So I spent 2 days wondering what I should do next. As a result, it became tinted London Professional 10.16, which was recommended to me in the store ( consultants cannot be trusted), she added a subtle pastel tint. After 2 days I repeated everything with 9.16, again the effect is almost 0, since it was necessary to take a shade darker than the original base.
**************************************************************************************************************************
All my toning in shades 8-7 took place within 2-3 months. Then I decided to wash off the color by at least half a tone and this mask helped me with this:
- 1 tbsp. kefir
- 2 tbsp. cognac
- juice from half a lemon.
I applied it about 3 times for an hour, but it only washed away the ashes, but the tone remained.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
And then I decided that 3 months... It's time to lighten your hair with powder again. But since it’s very expensive the first time in the salon, I did it the second time all by herself.
And secured the result wash your hair with blondoran, oxide, GO shampoo and water for 20 minutes. Here's what happened:
I was pleased with the resulting background lightening. Let's start tinting. This is where I made a mistake.
The length taken is 10.81 (60 gr.) + 9.16 (30 gr.) + 8.81 (15 gr.). Everything here is more or less monochromatic, but the yellow showed through a little; we had to start right away from level 9.
But the roots... 8.81 on a clean white lightening background... They turned out gray with lilac spots.
The next day I took the “Intensive Cleansing” shampoo and after two washes the roots were no longer so purple, but they still diverged in warmth with length. Arriving at the store for a new portion of paint, and asking the consultant for advice on how I could get rid of the gray-lilac roots, I was told that this This is a serious case and only bleaching will help. I still took 8.71 for the roots and 9.73 for the length.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
On the same day I tinted the roots 8.71 (30 gr.) + 7.7 (15 gr.). The result pleased me, if only because I did not turn green, and I managed to get away from the gray color.
I walked with this hair for 3 days and realized that cold platinum blonde is not my thing at all (oriental roots make themselves felt). And a day later (by that time the thinnest hairs began to break off) I tinted the length 9.73 (60 gr.) + 8.71 (30 gr.).
The shade of my hair became warm and I finally felt at ease. Only the roots are reddish and lightish; next time I’ll use 8 and 7 1:1 for them.
Result:
- Although the hair bleaching went well, over time, in the next two weeks, the hair will show its reaction.
- The paint is good and I’m not going to change it. I compensate for the scarcity of the palette by mixing different shades.
- Yes, the dye is without ammonia, but you apply it with a large amount of oxygen, and after all it spoils the hair, so you don’t need to do this often.
I haven’t yet achieved the desired shade; I tinted my hair almost every day for a week. The hair was noticeably damaged, but more likely from the powder than from the toning. There are air conditioners and strong masks, fillers to help. With proper care, after such abuse, my hair does not look like straw and there are almost no split hairs.
