Step 1: Choose the right shade of honey blonde.
There are many different shades of honey blonde, so it’s important to choose one that will complement your natural hair color. If you have a warm brunette base, go for a honey blonde with golden undertones. If you have a cool brunette base, go for a honey blonde with ashy undertones.

Step 2: Section your hair.
Before you start highlighting, section your hair into small, manageable pieces. This will help you to evenly distribute the highlights throughout your hair.

Step 3: Apply the highlighting bleach.
Use a highlighting brush to apply the bleach to your hair, starting from the ends and working your way up towards the roots. Be careful not to apply the bleach too close to your scalp.

Once the bleach has processed, rinse it out of your hair thoroughly with cool water.

After you’ve rinsed out the bleach, apply a honey blonde toner to your hair. This will help to neutralize any brassiness and give your highlights a beautiful, honey-gold color.

- Avoid washing your hair too often, as this can strip away the color.
- Use a heat protectant spray before styling your hair with a hot tool.
- Get regular trims to prevent your ends from splitting.
With proper care, your honey blonde highlights will look beautiful for weeks to come.
