Honey Blonde
A medium golden blonde with the depth of honey in the jar: warm, faintly amber, and never icy.

Both renders are HairGlam output. In the app the shade lands on your photo instead.
This is the most forgiving blonde in the family, because gold is exactly what dark hair exposes as it lifts, so the underlying warmth works with the shade instead of against it. It photographs richly and holds up under yellow indoor light where ashier blondes go dull and gray. Fading takes it lighter and slightly brassier, which most people tolerate for weeks longer than they would tolerate the same drift in an ash.
- Undertonewarm, neutral. Golden and olive skin takes it directly, and neutral complexions carry it too, because the amber depth keeps it from reading as a flat yellow against the face.
- Starting pointNatural medium brown hair often lifts here in one process with no bleach, while anything darker than a level four needs a lightener to clear the red sitting underneath.
- UpkeepA gloss every eight weeks keeps the tone true, and since roots grow in as a soft shadow rather than a stripe, full touch-ups can wait ten to twelve weeks.
Try it before the bleach
Color is the expensive mistake to get wrong. Put Honey Blonde against your own skin tone first.
