Step by step instructions to achieve style at home

To get the "lived-in" texture, use a texturizing spray on dry hair and scrunch.
Maintain the color's warmth and brightness with a "golden" or color-safe shampoo.

Caring for your hair

The color is a full blonde process that requires a root touch-up every 4-8 weeks and regular toning at home.

Frequently asked questions

Will buttercream blonde look yellow on me?

"Buttercream" is a soft, warm, buttery shade. It's less intensely golden than "honey blonde" and very flattering, but if you prefer cool tones, you might opt for vanilla or ash instead.
