What is Golden Bronze Hair Color?
Regardless of your starting hair color, you can quickly transform your mane into a golden bronze hairdo with an at-home box dye like Dark & Lovely Fade Resist Golden Bronze Rich Conditioning Color. Not all box dyes are made the same, so make sure you look for one that will give you the desired color based on your starting hair color. This dye from Dark & Lovely is made specifically for women of color to nourish natural hair while the dye does its magic to take your hair to a new hue.
Additionally, this at-home hair dye kit is perfect for anyone looking to cover their grays as this saturated formula offers up to 100 percent gray coverage — even with the most wiry hair. If you’re unsure how a golden bronze hair color will look on you, use Dark & Lovely’s virtual try-on feature to test out shades before committing to the trendy color.
How to Dye Hair Golden Bronze
You can choose the aptly named Fade Resist Golden Bronze Rich Conditioning Color for your mane, or the Dark & Lovely Fade Resist Sunkissed Brown Rich Conditioning Color for a deeper golden bronze that has a cool undertone. Or if you prefer something in-between the two, try Dark & Lovely Fade Resist Chestnut Blonde Rich Conditioning Color for a lighter golden bronze with highlights of blonde.
Below, learn how to easily turn your natural hair (or relaxed hair) into this warm, sunny color with Dark & Lovely Fade Resist Rich Conditioning Color.
Step 1. Start With Unwashed, Sectioned Hair
All good at-home hair dye sessions should begin with parting your hair into multiple sections to guarantee the most even coverage when applying the golden bronze hair dye. Start with four sections if you have long, thick hair and create more (or less) parts based on how much hair you’re dyeing. Secure the parts with hair clips or hair ties to keep it out of the way as you dye each section of your mane.
Step 2. Gently Mix the Hair Dye Ingredients
Start by putting on plastic gloves (there’s a pair in the box) for this part to keep hair dye from accidentally staining your skin. Then, carefully pour the entire bottle of the Fade Resist rich conditioning color into the cream developer bottle. Secure the applicator cap by placing your gloved finger over the open pointed tip, and vigorously shake the bottle until the the ingredients in the hair dye are blended together.
Step 3. Apply the Golden Bronze Hair Mixture
Going section by section, saturate strands with the color mixture from the mid-lengths to the ends before massaging the color into the roots to completely cover your mane. Avoid rubbing the mixture into the scalp to minimize staining or irritating the skin on your head and wipe away any dye residue with a damp paper towel. Take your time when dyeing your hair and consider creating more parts for the cleanest application.
Step 4. Set a Timer
Open up the handy timer on your phone or set the timer on a kitchen appliance to ensure you’re keeping the hair dye on for the right amount of time. If you’re dyeing relaxed hair, the mixture should process for about 20 minutes and for those with natural hair, let the color sit on the hair for about 30 minutes.
Step 5. Rinse Out the Color
Once your timer goes off, Rinse the color from your hair (with lukewarm water) until the water runs clear. You may be tempted to add a cleanser, but you should avoid sulfate-enriched shampoo as it may cause your color to fade quickly.
Step 6. Finish With Conditioner
While you don’t need shampoo after initially dyeing your hair, you’ll still want to add conditioner to re-introduce any moisture you may have lost during the dyeing process. Completely cover your hair with the conditionerof your choice and let it sit for at least three minutes. Finish by rinsing out the conditioner and you’re all set.
How Long Does Hair Dye Last?
However, if you choose a vibrant box dye like the Dark & Lovely Fade Resist Rich Conditioning Color, you don’t have to worry about that upkeep since this permanent hair dye is made to last and offers luxurious color for up to eight weeks. After that, you’ll probably want to dye hair again to re-color roots and revitalize your golden bronze hue.
6 Trendy Golden Bronze Hairstyles to Show Off Your New Color
Now that you know how to dye your hair with this popular color and have a little insight into the trend, you’re ready to style your new look. Below, discover six hairstyles featuring golden bronze hair to show off your warm color.
Wash N’ Go
The best way to fully embrace your new golden bronze hair color is by rocking your hair in its most natural state with a wash-and-go style. After completing your wash day routine, keep your curls and coils defined with a styling cream that doesn’t weigh down your hair or leave it feeling greasy.
Senegalese Twists
The beauty of a protective style is that you (technically) don’t have to dye your hair if you don’t really want to. Since Senegalese twists combine braiding hair and natural hair, you can always pick up hair in your desired color. Or if you want a permanent more brunette-looking golden bronze hair color, dye your natural hair with Fade Resist Sunkissed Brown Rich Conditioning Color and add in braiding hair with similar colors for a multi-layered golden shade.
Space Bun Locs
Have fun with your locs by adding a golden bronze color for an on-trend look and tying them up in a cute style like space buns. Make sure you wait until your locs are at the rooted stage before adding dye or manipulating hair too much. At this stage, your locs are sturdier, thicker, and more tightly bound and won’t unravel during the process.
Use a stretchy hair tie that will wrap around your locs securely and section off two small parts in the front of your hair to form the space buns. Leave the rest of your hair down and refresh your locs regularly.
Wavy Blowout
Embrace an all-over golden bronze hair color with a wavy blowout that puts the hue on full display. Prep your hair for a blowout witha heat protectant spray or cream. Curl ends with a round brush as you blowdry them to achieve that wavy blouwout style.
Silk Press
If you’re used to relaxing your hair for pin straight strands you’ll want to put down the chemical treatments while your hair recovers from the coloring process. According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), it’s best to only do one type of chemical treatment at a time to limit damage — so if you’re coloring your hair, stay away from the chemical relaxers.
Instead, get that straight hair look at home with the two-step silk press process. Heat damage is also something you should be careful about, so always use a heat protectant to shield your hair from heat damage up to 450 degrees. Spritz your freshly washed hair with this spray before blow drying your hair straight, and sealing in the look with a few passes of a flat iron.
Bohemian Braids
Whether you're dyeing your hair golden bronze or using extension hair with a similar color, style your hair into bohemian (boho) braids. This protective style uses braiding hair to add length and create the curled pieces of hair and ends that this style is known for.
Personalize your boho braids by changing up the length of the braided part, how many curly pieces are featured, and even the color of the braiding hair. If you’re changing up the color, consider a brunette to a golden bronze ombre or an all-over light golden bronze hue.
