Love it or hate it, TikTok is once again responsible for spawning another one of the hottest hair trends for the rest of the year ahead. What many of us knew as ‘dirty blonde’ has now been dubbed ‘bronde’, ‘teddy bear blonde’ and even ‘dish-water blonde’ by Gen Z. To put the shade in simple terms, it’s a mix of blonde and brunette that makes your locks look like they’ve been naturally kissed by the sun. A harmonious blend of lighter and darker strands that keep your latest highlights appointment or dye-job super discreet.
1How to Achieve Bronde Hair
First things first: achieving bronde hair isn’t just a quick box-dye situation. This hair colour masterpiece is all about balance – finding that golden middle ground between blonde and brunette that flatters your skin tone, eye colour, and whole vibe.
For the bronde-curious, it’s usually best to consult a pro colourist, especially if you're starting from either extreme (like jet black or icy platinum). But don't worry, we’re not gatekeeping. You can absolutely get a dreamy bronde hair colour at home with the right tools, a YouTube tutorial or two, and our dream team of hair experts.
One hot tip to make the transition easier? Clip in extensions in a bronde shade can give you an instant preview of the look before you fully commit. We’re talking zero damage, max transformation. Even better? They’re made with human hair extensions, so you can curl, straighten, and style them however you like. And if you decide bronde is your new personality? Upgrade to permanent extensions for that salon-level slay, all day, every day.
Now let’s get into the different flavours of bronde and dark blonde hair that are setting our feeds on fire!
2Money Piece Bronde
Okay, let’s talk drama, but the subtle kind. Money piece bronde is all about face-framing highlights that add brightness around your eyes and cheekbones (aka free contour). Inspired by the one and only Tate McRae – this shade is trendy, TikTok-approved, and guaranteed to boost your selfies.
The great thing about this look is that it can be added to literally any base, so whether you're brunette or blonde, you can upgrade to money piece bronde in a single salon visit.
3Two Tone Bronde
When indecision becomes aesthetic, you get Two Tone Bronde. This colour crush mixes cool and warm tones for that extra edge. It’s giving editorial, and we’re obsessed.
Pairing icy blonde pieces with a rich dark brown base brings contrast, depth, and a splash of “who is she?” mystery. It’s also a low maintenance bronde hair colour option, since it allows for regrowth without looking awkward.
You can fake the look using clip-in extensions in Ice Blonde and Natural/Off Black. Create that high-contrast, custom look without the bleach or commitment. Or – if you’re all in – get professional hair extensions blended with dual shades for custom cool-girl vibes.

4Golden Bronde
This one is for all the Barbie fans out there. We match Margot with – Soft Bronze Balayage – it’s bright, cheerful, and perfect for those who like their hair to shimmer in the sun. The golden undertones warm up your complexion and are ideal if you're moving away from icy blondes or feel like brunettes are a little too serious. Inspired by red carpet glam (shoutout to celeb stylist Bryce Scarlett), this look works beautifully with loose waves and textured blowouts. Our Remy hair extensions will keep those golden tones luminous and healthy-looking, even after multiple heat styling sessions.
5Biscuit Bronde
It’s sweet, it's soft, and it's the internet’s favourite bronde shade. It’s biscuit bronde. With warm tones and golden depth, it’s flattering on everyone and gives that lit-from-within glow. Whether you’re going full bronde or just testing the waters with a balayage effect, our shade Biscuit Blondey is always a good idea. Achieve the perfect bronde balayage hair look using clip in hair extensions in honey tones. They blend seamlessly with natural shades and can give your hair that dreamy depth with zero damage.
6Silver Bronde
Let’s switch it up. Not all brondes are warm – some are a little on the frostier side. This cool-toned take mixes ashy blonde and soft brown for a smoky, dimensional shade that feels futuristic but wearable. It’s also amazing on cooler complexions and looks sleek with a sharp middle part. Explore our extensions to test-drive the look before you take the plunge.
7Dimensional Bronde
When regular highlights aren’t enough and you want full-on depth, Dimensional Bronde is your go-to. It mixes multiple tones of brown and blonde for a look that’s rich, sophisticated, and super textured, even when your hair is just air-dried.
Perfect for those with naturally wavy or curly hair, this shade plays with light and shadow like a total pro. It’s also stunning in a half-up claw clip or low bun. Use Chocolate Honey clip in extensions to instantly boost volume and texture or go for permanent hair extensions like our Remy Royale Tape Ins for long-lasting luxury.
