To achieve light honey blonde hair, a colorist will likely use bleach to lighten your current hair color before applying the honey blonde dye. This process creates a light base for the honey blonde color to adhere to effectively.
Here’s a breakdown of the process:
- Bleaching: This step involves using bleach to lift your current hair color. The goal is to create a lighter base that allows the honey blonde color to show up properly. This often needs to be done even if you have light-colored hair naturally because to achieve that bright, reflective honey blonde the hair needs to be light enough that the honey color can show.
- Toning: After bleaching, a toner is often used to neutralize any unwanted undertones and prepare your hair for the final color. This is a step that some people try to skip, but it's critical to get the honey color right.
- Honey Blonde Dye Application: Finally, a honey blonde hair dye is applied to achieve the desired light honey blonde shade. The shade can be tailored to your preference and skin tone, including how light or dark the honey is.
