Blended Ash Bronde

June 15, 2026·1 min read

Front view of long lived-in bronde hair with a shadow root, neutral beige highlights and soft voluminous waves.

This soft bronde is all about balanced dimension: bright, face-framing ribbons, a seamless root melt and a neutral-beige gloss that keeps the finish expensive. Tampa-based BTC Team Member and color specialist Ashley Smith (@paintedbyashleymarie) created the look using Redken Blonde IQ and Shades EQ™ for a lived-in blonde that feels bright, blended and salon-polished.
