Fans are already in a frenzy over Ariana Grande’s impending reunion with her trademark hairdo. Consider the half-up, half-down ponytail to be part of Ari’s starter kit (every Arianator wants it in their wardrobe), which also includes oversized sweatshirts and dreamy beauty products from her makeup line, REM. The pop star has experimented with a handful of new looks over the past few years, but none are quite as recognisable as the half-up, half-down ponytail.
But this time, it’s not her classic high ponytail hairdo that grabbed netizens’ attention, but her freshly dyed tresses. The singer’s big beauty transformation was dying her hair honey blonde after a year-long stint of maintaining her natural brunette colour. Let’s learn why Ariana chose the honey blonde shade over other hair colours that are trending this year.
Ariana’s Honey Blonde Hair Colour Has A Separate Fan Base Of Its Own
While Megan Fox and Megan Thee Stallion both claim that copper is the colour of the year, Ariana Grande recently mixed things up while promoting one tried-and-true shade: honey blonde. Oh boy, and the way she styled her hair into a very Sweetener-Esque ponytail, adds oomph to her coloured tresses. Ariana also complemented her hair transformation by giving her eyebrows a similar blonde hue, and she let her fresh appearance take centre stage by dressing simply in a black T-shirt (as seen in the post above).
What Hair Colour Is Honey Blonde?
Warm and golden in tone, honey blonde hair has shades of amber, blonde, chestnut, light brown, and even a touch of red. Although it is a warm blonde, it is not orange or brassy.
Honey blonde is quite attractive on all skin tones thanks to its highly intentional warmth, which appears golden and bright. Naturally, you can style honey blonde hair however you like and the hair colour will make sure you look wonderful with it.
Here’s How You Can Get Ariana’s Fave Honey Blonde Hair
If you desire honey blonde hair, your hair colourist will probably need to lift your current colour with bleach to create a blank canvas before applying your nectar-inspired hue. After all, your colourist will need to mix different amounts of gold, brown, or red into a distinctive honey-blonde shade depending on the look you are aiming for.
It’s important to keep in mind that bleach will almost always cause some damage, but before you leave the salon, a talented colourist will strive to improve the texture and appearance of your strands. In between visits to the salon, a strong at-home routine may also maintain the health of your hair. Always include bond-strengthening therapy in your product roundup.
How Do You Care For Honey Blonde Hair?
Once you’ve achieved your new honey-blonde hair colour, intense care is required. Your routine should be the first place you start if you want to maintain your golden strands looking their best. Here are three things to remember.
Switch To Colour-Safe Hair Care Products
Reach for a reparative hair care system like the L’Oréal Paris EverPure Sulfate-Free Bond Strengthening Shampoo if your honey-blonde locks have left you with dry, bleach-damaged hair. By strengthening weak hair bonds, this product aids in strengthening colour-treated hair from the inside out.
Note: Although honey blonde is a warm colour, unwanted brassy tones can still influence it. Add purple shampoo and conditioner to your routine once a week to solve this issue.
Maintain The Vibrancy With The In-Shower Gloss System
To keep your honey blonde colour looking bright and lustrous, use a hair gloss. With each application, an in-shower gloss improves shine, tones colour, and intensely treats hair. It’s an excellent way to keep your colour fresh and vibrant and keep your strands from looking lifeless and dry.
First, use shampoo to thoroughly cleanse your scalp. Next, spray the in-shower glaze on wet hair and let it sit for one to three minutes (do not rinse). Then, follow it up with a conditioner.
Avoid Using Heat Tools
Always ensure to prep your strands with a heat protectant before using styling tools. To prevent frying your hair, use your flat iron or hair dryer on the lowest temperature setting and run them through each piece of hair once. You could also try heatless hairstyles like a messy bun or overnight heatless curls if you desire curly hair. Another option is applying a curl-enhancing cream to bring out your natural wave. Limit your use of heat styling to lessen damage and avoid hair colour fading.
