Help Your Client Channel Their Inner Pop Star with Buttery Blonde Inspo

While summer is normally the time we think about blondes, with clients wanting to go lighter and brighter as warmer weather approaches, this color is becoming a year-round favorite. Buttery blonde, famously recognized as pop star Sabrina Carpenter's signature hue, is a golden shade reminiscent of butter. The color can vary in intensity, from a light, pale blonde to a deeper, sandy color. Warm tones, like the ones found in buttery blondes, are becoming increasingly popular because they are universally flattering, versatile and make hair appear brighter and shinier by reflecting light. If your clients want to channel their inner pop star this summer, this beachy blonde shade may be the perfect option to recommend. Here, we share some of our favorite buttery blonde looks and a step-by-step tutorial to guide you through how to bring this color to life.

How-To: 

• Full Highlight: Goldwell Oxycur Lightener
• Root Tap: Redken Shades EQ 9N/9GB/splash 9P
• Wet Balayage: This step is key! To safely bump your clients' ends and keep them looking bright, you must do a wet balayage!
• NO ALL OVER TONER: In this case, she lifted to a beautiful level 10 blonde! Toning it would just dull it out — sometimes less is more!
• Blowout: Finish with a BOMB blow dry style to lock in the color! 

"Feeling your best is so easy if you ask for a blonde shade that never feels dull! Buttery blonde is the answer! This will keep you always feeling bright and beautiful," Singer adds.
