7. Muted Honey Matte
The muted honey matte is for those who prefer an understated, sophisticated look. This color profile takes the warm, inviting tone of honey and tones it down to a matte, powdery finish. It lacks the typical high-shine gloss, instead offering a soft, velvety texture that feels very modern and Parisian. This look is perfect for those who want to avoid the “shiny” trend and prefer something a bit more grounded and moody. It is an incredibly chic choice that works well on all hair textures, providing a subtle, golden warmth that is both classy and unique.
How to Make
Select a light-to-medium brown dye with golden undertones, but specifically one that is labeled as “matte” or “neutral.” Apply this evenly throughout your hair. After rinsing, avoid using any shine sprays or heavy oils, as these will ruin the matte effect. Instead, use a texturizing spray or a light styling mousse to add grit and volume to your hair. The lack of shine forces the eye to focus on the color itself—a warm, muted honey that looks incredibly soft and intentional. It is a minimalist’s dream, providing a beautiful, golden-hued look without the flashiness.
