While cooler blonde shades can sometimes wash you out, adding a touch of warmth to your colour can create softer and more natural-looking results. Try mixing caramel lowlights with your natural base to give your style extra depth.

Mixing in a touch of strawberry blonde with a warm honey shade makes for an ultra-flattering colour for most skin tones, especially if you have pale skin and dark eye colour combo.

Subtle and ever so slightly darker than a classic honey blonde hair colour, this shade brings a hint of pink to blonde hair, creating a truly stunning look.

If your skin has cooler undertones and you want to rock a classic blonde bombshell hairstyle, using a warm honey blonde as a base can be a great way of making this light hair shade work for you.

Ask your stylist to use warmer honey tones and lowlights through your roots, as these will create a nice contrast to brighter blonde shades and really make your hair colour pop!

If you’re a natural brunette and want to brighten up your look, this take on honey blonde hair is the perfect way to try out a lighter shade, without having to go the whole hog. Instead, enjoy a subtle sunkissed look by adding a glimmer of lightness to your brown hair to elevate the tone a little.

Honey blonde hair can look wonderfully sweet and bright. But if you’d like to add a pinch of edginess to the look, then go for a bolder, contrasting hair colour by pairing the lighter hue with darker ombre shades.

Keeping your roots darker and brightening the tips will give a more rock ‘n’ roll take on this blonde hair colour.

Give depth to platinum blonde with a gorgeous mid-shade of honey, this will help add a hint of sweetness to those with paler complexions.

But the best thing about this hue? Since it’s a more muted version of honey blonde hair colour, it can be more flattering on a range of skin tones, without detracting from the bold platinum base.

A touch of copper can make honey blonde hair sparkle gloriously, as well as giving you a really refreshing take on blonde hair.

It’s also a great way of going blonde without having to worry about excessive maintenance, as this shade works beautifully throughout the cooler seasons, too.
