My brunette, if you have come this far it is because you have as much desire as the influencers to change your hair color. I do not know what summer 2020 has that we all want to go to the side of the blondes (and the not so blondes). Because if we like something about Dark honey blonde, the fashionable color this summer , it is that it is a color made for us. No matter how light or dark your brown base is, this tone will always look good. 

And why is this 2020 so fashionable? Well, because it is pure naturalness and adapts to any coloring technique: balayage, babylight, bare roots … As its name suggests,  Dark honey blonde is a hair color that lightens the hair of brunettes with honey tones. And the key to making it look so good is that the highlights are so, so fine that they are barely visible and blend into the original base, although that does not mean that we can bet on a more powerful and lighter color on the tips, as it has been. worn Laura Matamoros with a balayage, or more subtle like Paula Loves, who only takes it from medium to ends. 

Reasons to change hair color

  • (Almost) maintenance free. As it is not a complete hair dye, little maintenance is required. It is so subtle that you can space out visits to the hairdresser up to six months (unless you have gray hair and want to cover them). 
  • Covers the first gray hair. As the highlights are so extremely fine and all over the hair, when you light the Dark honey blonde, the gray completely disappears. 
  • More shine in the hair, more tan on the skin. Have you ever noticed that girls with golden highlights seem to make their hair shine brighter and have it healthier? Well, that is one of the reasons why Dark honey blonde has gained more followers, in addition to because it highlights the brunette. The honey color contrasts with the tan of the skin and the magic is done!

A well-chosen hair color, such as Dark honey blonde , can help us to enhance the tan. Most chestnuts and brunettes shy away from golds, reddish colors and copper, but in reality they are the tones that most favor them because they raise the tone of the skin more. If you notice, it enhances the tan.

The face-framing version

The face-framing version

To soften the features, it is essential to frame the face. We can do it with a curtain-type fringe, which enlivens our face, or, as María Fernández-Rubíes has done, adding some honey highlights to the forehead area.

One of the advantages of Dark honey blonde is that it favors all brunette hair, whatever the hair tone. The very soft golden highlights, slightly lighter than the natural base of the hair, do the rest to achieve that beautiful and shiny hair effect.

The version for those who want to get closer to blonde

Going from brunette to blonde is a pretty radical change, but one option to get closer to the blonde hair side is to bet on Laura Matamoros' Dark honey blonde. The influencer has very subtle honey-colored highlights at the root, which blends with the balayage from medium to ends.

Dark honey blonde can be so subtle that it melts into the base of your natural color and no one would say you have dye in your hair. If you want this effect, you have to opt for babylights highlights from root to tip.
