With autumn 2016 in full swing, it’s officially time to swap your icy platinum locks for a more seasonally appropriate hair colour. As the skies darken and the weather gradually becomes chilly, beachy strands are quickly being replaced by richer tones. For the season ahead, honey blonde is a perfect compromise between an almost-white mane and chestnut locks.

If you’re looking to darken your locks and transition your hair colour into the cooler season, try embracing honey highlights. Making a splash in the form of slightly textured and wavy locks, honey blonde is the latest hair colour on Instagram. Beauty lovers are stepping out with ombre strands and beautifully blended streaks of honey, for a new twist on the classic colour.

The hair colour has even caused a sensation in Hollywood, with usually raven-haired celebrities quickly bringing lighter tones into their manes. Selena Gomez recently showcased a gorgeous honey blonde hairstyle, which highlights her olive skin and youthful features. If you’re looking to draw your hair inspiration from the gorgeous 24-year-old singer, try sticking to a head of voluminous layers and bouncy, loose waves.

For natural brunettes with longer locks, honey-coloured highlights can easily lighten your tresses, without looking unnatural. Although vivid rainbow brights and smokey lilac hair may also be en vogue this fall, there’s no denying the subtlety and sophistication of honey!
