Bronzing hair has already been appreciated by many showbiz stars and those who follow fashion trends.
Recently, bright, provocative colorings are gradually fading into the background; they are slowly but surely being replaced by complex colorings using natural shades, as close as possible to the main hair color. Such colorings make hair visually thicker and more voluminous.
Bronzing Hair—what is it?
Mixing shades (brown + blond) using a complex technology of multi-coloring and highlighting is Hollywood coloring, called “bonding.”. This is the kind of coloring that will allow you to change your image while leaving it natural, giving your hair a mirror shine and iridescent natural shades.
The most suitable shades for each representative of the fair sex are selected individually, depending on the natural hair color. The most common shades for bronzing are chocolate, beige, light brown, and coffee shades.
A good stylist will also be able to suggest whether cool or warm shades will look better in your particular case. The range of suitable colors is chosen based on the color of the skin, eyes, and hair.
Benefits of Bronzing Hair
Bronde coloring is not only beauty and sophistication that complement your image, but also several other undeniable advantages that every girl can take into account:
- The transition to bronde shades is possible from any original hair shade, regardless of whether the locks are dyed or natural;
- Bronzing hair is suitable for absolutely any representative of the fair sex. After visiting an experienced hairdresser, you will become stylish and more spectacular, regardless of age, face shape, length, color and structure of hair;
- The negative impact of the paint will be minimal since not the entire length is dyed, but only individual, thin strands;
- Coloring done using one of the bronzing hair techniques will easily take off a couple of “extra” years that you don’t need at all;
- By choosing bronzing hair, you can easily not only hide haircut errors and distract attention from the nuances of appearance but also perfectly “mask” gray hair;
The quality and effectiveness of coloring do not depend on the length and thickness of the hair.
Bronde is especially suitable for those with thin and sparse hair. Thanks to the correct selection of similar, natural shades, the hairdresser will add volume to even the thinnest hair and visually make the hairstyle more voluminous.
Without experience in the field of hairdressing, at first glance, such coloring may seem more than simple, both in color selection and in the technique of execution. Thin curls, selected in a chaotic order, are colored without a clear transition and a specific algorithm. Only hairdressers with extensive experience behind them and “golden” hands know for sure that such work is identical to jewelry.
The slightest mistake in coloring, an error in the selection of shades—and several hours of painstaking work of the master down the drain. The quality of bronzing hair, a presentable appearance, and a harmonious image depend only on how responsibly you approach the choice of the master.
Another advantage of bronzing hair is that it does not require frequent correction. Even as it grows, the hair will retain an attractive and well-groomed appearance, and the coloring with natural tints will delight the owner for more than one month. Without correction by a hairdresser and visiting a salon, coloring can be safely carried out from 3 months to six months.
Disadvantages of Bronzing Hair:
Cost of the procedure. The price of such complex coloring by a qualified specialist will be equal to the efforts spent on creating the ideal image, time costs, and the level of complexity of the work, which is affected by the thickness and length of the hair;
Like any other coloring, it negatively affects the hair structure. If your hair is badly damaged, before doing bronzing, do some curl restoration. Otherwise, instead of a perfect head of hair, you can get an unattractive-looking haystack, burnt and even more lifeless.
Current Bronzing Hair techniques 2025
Fashionable and stylish blonde coloring, as mentioned earlier, can be done on hair of any shade. If you have thick, dark hair, in most cases, the hairdresser will have to color your hair in several stages to achieve the desired bronzing hair effect.
Owners of light-brown and light-colored hair are a little luckier, as one procedure will be enough to dye such hair, regardless of the desired result. Let’s consider the most spectacular and popular types of complex coloring in the bronde style.
Classic multi-tone bronzing hair
The classic bronzing hair technique turned out to be at the top of the best and most popular colorings of this season among spectacular brunettes and owners of blond curls. To get a luxurious result with beautiful, smooth shades, made using the technique of multi-color highlighting or coloring, several colors are used at once.
Excellent combination options are dark shades (chestnut honey, brown, chocolate, caramel, cognac) with light shades (wheat, pink pearl ash, beige, wheat, nutty, beige mother-of-pearl).
This year, both sharp transitions of shades and very smooth stretches have become very popular. Zonal bronzing hair for blondes and brunettes is also relevant. The technique of execution is multi-layer coloring. A distinctive feature of such bronde is a smooth stretch from a dark color on the crown to a light one, starting in the middle of a third of the curls.
Before dyeing, the hair is divided into several zones. The lower part is either not involved in dyeing at all or is exposed to minimal dye action when toning in a natural or darker color. Sometimes, the root zone is also dyed to match the lower layer of hair.
Bronde in light shades
An ideal option for burning brunettes and owners of light-brown curls who would like to become “pure” blondes, but are not yet ready for such a radical change of image and coloring the entire length in a light shade. Thanks to the use of modern technologies when performing complex coloring in the bronde style, you can achieve a “glow” of curls and depth of color. A rich palette of dark shades is ideally combined with lighter ones (wheat, caramel, pearl with mother-of-pearl, golden, honey).
To preserve the health of your hair as much as possible and cause minimal damage to the structure, coloring can be done in several stages. Following this recommendation will not only preserve the strength and shine of your curls but also give you more noble and pure light shades at the end of the procedure.
The master himself chooses the most suitable coloring technology to get a light natural shade. The choice depends on the hair structure, its condition, as well as the color of the hair, eyes, and skin.
To ensure that your coloring will please you for a long time and look as presentable and elite as on the first day after visiting the salon, follow these simple recommendations:
provide complete hair care. It is not enough to just use shampoo. Depending on the condition and degree of hair damage, it is necessary to use masks, growth activators, strengthening sprays, and natural oils;
The coloring will only look good on healthy hair. Regularly trim split ends, which can ruin not only your hairstyle but your entire look.
“Brand Super-Nature”
The best option for complex coloring, done using the bronzing hair technique, is for lovers of natural shades with smooth transitions and beautiful stretching. A gorgeous play of overflow, obtained using a special highlighting technique, can be achieved by adding shades such as cognac, beige, copper, coffee, caramel brown, chestnut honey, and other gorgeous shades of the natural range.
The distinctive feature of the “Brond Super-Nature” coloring from the classic Bronde technique is a smoother stretch, the absence of sharp color transitions, and the absence of contrasting accents in the form of light shades.
To achieve the ideal color with a play of highlights, an experienced hairdresser selects shades that are as close as possible to the natural hair color. This method creates a voluminous, deep coloring with soft tints.
If cool tones suit you, pay attention to ash blonde, chocolate, nut, and coffee colors in the cool range.
“Ombre Hair Color” or “Dip Dye Styles”
This type of bronzing hair has become especially popular among celebrities and world-famous stars in the 2025 season. Bronzing done using this technique will refresh your look and make salon visits less frequent. The peculiarity of the coloring is the darkened root zone, in other words, the effect of “grown roots.”.
The smooth stretch of colors is created by multi-layer coloring with a transition from the dark zone at the roots to the lighter tips. The depth of coloring and the luxury of the color overflow depend on the number and competent selection of suitable shades. The darkened root zone is on average from 8 to 14 cm.
Bronde in the ombre technique differs from other varieties of complex coloring by a sharper and more contrasting color transition. A more classic version with soft, light shades is possible, for the brightest and boldest, an excellent solution will be “tongues of flame”, more saturated and lively.
Another technique used by hairdressers is Californian highlighting, which allows you to create a more natural color transition.
- Blond-ombre will look most impressive on medium-length hair with multi-layered haircuts;
- Bronde ombre is ideal for all brunettes with rich, chocolate hair color and will perfectly complement the image of fair-haired girls;
- The best combinations for this coloring technique are dark shades with coffee, cognac, and golden tones;
Smooth stretching will help to give your hair volume, charm, and a unique style, emphasizing the structure of the curls.
Highlighting using the “Brond” technique
Another chic option that is worth paying attention to is glare highlighting. During coloring, either the natural hair color or 1-2 tones lighter can be used. If there is gray hair, the hairdresser uses a darker and more saturated dye from the natural range. Depending on your preferences, the shades of tones can be either cold or warm.
The distinctive feature of glare highlighting is the shimmering play of natural shades used in coloring, which is especially noticeable in the sun or natural light. A brighter color solution is also possible—separate, clear strokes that create highlights on the hair, completely changing the range of the entire hairstyle.
It is easier to dye your locks using one of the complex bronzing hair techniques if your original hair color is light brown or dark brown. In this case, the hairdresser can take a natural color as the base color, which will make the image as natural as possible. If you have blond locks, the hairdresser will, in most cases, recolor them in a light brown shade. During a visit to the salon, brunettes will have to pre-bleach their locks, which will then be recolored or tinted in shades of the selected color range with a cold or warm shimmer.
Bronzing hair in the 2025 season is rapidly winning the hearts of the fair sex, creating unique, beautiful, spectacular, and at the same time natural images.
