Honey Brown Hair: A New Hair Colour Loved By Kylie Jenner

The change has been subtle, but during the past few years, hair colour trends have been getting oh-so-slowly but surely warmer and warmer with golden undertones and auburn low-lights taking favour over the cool, grey tones of previous years. In fact, top hairdressers are touting a warm, honey brown as the perfect summer colour freshen up for brunettes.

"Honey is one of those tones that is universally flattering, no matter what your complexion. It’s light, balanced, has a richness that is natural and makes your colour youthful and incredibly selfie worthy," says Jason Hogan, Celebrity Colour Expert at Josh Wood Atelier. "Whether it’s honey blonde, bronde or brunette, the hair colours all incorporate the lust-worthy creamy golden hue."

"If you're going for an all-over transformation, keep it shade on shade to prevent thicker, longer hair from looking too monochromatic. If you're more up for flirting with the idea, ombré strands will illuminate bobs giving shiny, better-than-natural colour. On longer length, subtle balayage will make everything bright and radiant."

Plus, after what has been a tough year, warmer tones are far more uplifting: "Wellbeing has never been more important and just as we have been wearing natural makeup, honey brown hair will give your hair a natural glow. Using warmer shades will complement your skin tones."

While there's no doubt warm honey tones are the most flattering, they do need to be kept in check to avoid any brassiness coming through. The best way to ensure you get the most from your salon colour is to use a toning product, like Redken Color Extend Brownlights Duo, which has a blue undertone to knock out brassiness, as well as a nourishing mask like Christophe Robin Colour Shield Mask or Oribe Beautiful Colour Mask to prolong that salon finish.
