"Golden hour" hair is exactly what it sounds like — light-catching highlights that look like spun gold through dirty blond and dark brown hair. SCK Salon hair colorist Melissa Pecoraro forsees the look being one of this Fall's biggest hair color trends and explained to POPSUGAR exactly how to get it.
"To achieve this hair color, ask for highlights closer to your scalp by your front hairline and as you get further away from your face, the highlights start at a lower," Pecoraro said, naming Blake Lively as an example of someone with the hair color. She explained that it's a great way to brighten up naturally dirty blond hair, but we've found that the color looks great as luminous sections against dark hues, as well.
