 1. What is butter blonde?

Butter blonde is a golden shade that sits between platinum and honey blonde. It is named after its smooth, creamy tone which is similar to the colour of rich, melted butter. Butter blonde is at the warmer side of the spectrum, leaving hair with a sun-kissed appearance. Perfect if you’re looking for a natural-looking blonde with a touch of glam!

2. What is the difference between butter blonde and honey blonde?

Both are shades of the same colour, but that’s where the similarities stop. Butter blonde is soft, light and creamy, with natural warmth, whereas honey blonde has deeper golden hues with a richer, darker appearance. Find out more about honey blonde: All the Buzz About the Honey Blonde Hair Colour

3. What celebrities have butter blonde hair?

Many a-list celebrities have embraced butter blonde hair for its striking, golden appeal. Stars like Sophie Turner, Rihanna and Gigi Hadid have all sported variations of this style over time!

4. Is butter blonde flattering?

Buttery blonde is one of the most universally flattering blonde shades. Its yellow hues bring out warmer complexions by bringing vibrancy to the face, subtly enhancing natural beauty with brilliant effect. This works to illuminate your facial features in the best way, bringing a new light to your appearance.

5. Can you get butter blonde hair without bleach?

Achieving buttery blonde hair without bleach depends on your natural hair colour. If you have darker hair, it might be necessary to lighten the base of your hair with bleach before toning it to the hue you desire. For the healthiest results, always consult a professional colourist who can determine the best method for your hair type.
