If 2025 has a signature shade, it is light honey hair. Nothing says luxury like honey brown because it blends soft golden tones with natural-looking warmth that flatters. Unlike the boring, old and regular shade in the past years, honey hair looks effortless in daylight, polished indoors, and beautifully glossy when styled properly.
Why Honey Brown Hair?
As more and more people shift towards shades that look natural yet polished, honey tones offer a soft brightness that enhances the skin. It delivers a noticeable warmth that grows out seamlessly. If you want a fresh look without having to visit the salon frequently, then this is your go-to!
While honey blonde is one of the flattering choices in 2025, it isn't the only requested colour. Light honey brown hair is fast becoming popular and a rich choice as it works perfectly on different skin tones. At the same time, it's healthy-looking and full of movement—a combination you can hardly get elsewhere. Under natural light, the honey brown hue shines even with minimal styling. So, when the next shift in colour calls your name, answer it with a light honey brown hair colour.
The Most Wearable Light Honey Brown Hair Shades
There aren't so many light honey shades, especially with brown, but these few are definitely a solid choice anywhere in the UAE so long as you're able to own it.
The Classic Light Honey Brown
If you're an all-over colour person, try light honey brown for a change. It's a single shade and a perfect staple for you if you want your colour to look naturally luminous. It stays grounded in its soft brown base and mild golden tone without pushing your shade into the blonde territory.
You only need your light honey brown cream colour and GK Hair's Cream Developer. If your starting colour is darker than honey, bleach a little before adding your dye.
Golden Honey Brown
Brown hair girly here? Don't worry, golden honey brown hair colour gives you that brightness and richness… and guess what? You don't have to leave your brunette family at all. The sunlit finish it gives keeps your hair looking fresh all year round. To get this, you can either ask your colourist for soft brown highlights, say a balayage, or even DIY a balayage using GK Hair Brown Cream Colour.
Make sure to also get your toner for when there is blurring at your roots.
Honey Highlights on Brown Hair
If you're only about dimension and not full hair transformation, then opt for fine honey highlights. You don't have to go overboard though: using light honey brown hair dye in soft, feathered placements adds warmth in the right places. It even offers movement without changing your base colour and more particularly, it's low maintenance.
Honey Beige Blend
Say you're a minimalist who wants an understated look but stunning, honey beige serves exactly that in 2025. Beige mixes with honey to create a creamy, soft and more refined hair than honey blonde. If you want something that's less brassy, then a honey-beige combination is a whole vibe.

How to Keep Your Light Honey Colour Looking Bright
What's a good hair colour with no maintenance? Whether you choose to colour your hair at home or in the salon, knowledge is key to keeping your hair and colour healthy and vibrant all week long.
Update Your Wash Routine
No more old shampoo and conditioner on your bathroom shelf; it's high time you picked up hair care products that truly care for colour-treated hair. We love GK Hair Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner on colour treated hair for many reasons. It contains Juvexin and other natural plant extracts that give and maintain hair strength, moisture and softness. Whether you're vegan or not, you'll love this duo and what's wrong with being hair-vegan anyway?
You'll be saving your hair and supporting “no animal cruelty”. Once or twice a week, swap out the shampoo and use a Silver Bombshell Shampoo.
Get Into a Gloss System
With time, hair colour will fade on its own no matter how much protection you give. A glossing system twice a week moisturises and seals in colour. Get a hair mask like GK Hair's Lock Me Colour Masque to keep your light honey hair alive and happy.
Use Heat Protection
It's good to turn down the heat. However, even low heat used regularly can cause damage. GK Hair ThermalStyleHer Cream is the best option for preventing heat damage. It's lightweight, gentle and leaves no grease.
If a heat protectant is out of reach, apply a few drops of GK Hair's Argan Oil Serum but make sure to go low on heat regardless.
