Buttercup Blonde Is The Sun-Kissed Color You Need For Summer

Speaking to Glamour, hairstylist Lauren Grummel advised that buttery blonde hair "is great for clients who want a little something and don't want to commit to blonde all over." To get the look, Grummel recommended asking your hairdresser for "brighter pieces around your face with pops of lightness through your ends, plus lived-in highlights through your crown." This will give you that mix of light and darker blonde highlights that are so essential to creating the buttery look.

Grummel also noted that this shade of blonde is good for both blondes and brunettes, a rare occurrence when it comes to going blonde. However, as it is a warmer color, buttercup blonde will look best if you have a warm or neutral skin undertone. Warm yellows have a tendency to wash those with cool undertones out, something you definitely don't want for your hair. Remember that your hair will naturally lighten throughout the summer if you spend a lot of time outside, so wear a hat if you don't want it to go any lighter after your appointment.
