Golden blonde (8.3) is a warm, blonde hair colour with full coverage on all hair types due to the golden nuance in the dye. But maybe you'd want a colour that's not as warm? Check out our medium blonde (8.0) or light blonde (9.0). You could of course also mix the 8.3 with one of these colours. Make the golden blonde a little lighter by mixing with the natural light blonde (9.0). If you want the same nuance, but lighter, you should opt for the light golden blonde (9.3). Would you rather want a cooler colour, then look at ash blonde (8.1) or almond blonde (8.37) which is a warmer colour but less warm than golden blonde (8.3). Is golden blonde too light? Then opt for the golden dark blonde (7.3) for a lighter variation.
Advice with picking a colour
The result always depends on the colour and structure of your hair before you dye it. If you have dry, porous or fine hair, you should probably take a dye lighter than the colour you actually want. Your hair will absorb more pigment from the dye, making your end results darker than they should be. It's better to dye your hair too light than too dark, because you can't dye dark hair back! If you have doubts between two colours, pick the lighter colour. Are the end results too light? You can always dye it to a darker colour right away without damaging your hair with WECOLOUR dye.

Choice of activator
You can order this colour with 3% and 6% activator. 3% is the best choice if you want to use this colour as a corrective toner after bleaching your hair. The colour tone does not cover greys, does not lighten and only lasts a few washes. Use 6% activator for a permanent, grey covering colour and/or if you want to lift your undyed hair 1-2 colour levels.
How much dye do you need?
- Short, thin hair or just the roots: less than one package (one tube mixed with developer)
- Hair until your shoulders: one package (one tube mixed with developer)
- Thick or longer hair: two packages (tube mixed with developer)
- Very thick, long hair: three packages (tube mixed with developer)
Make sure to have enough dye. There's nothing more annoying than running out of dye in the middle of dyeing your hair. Also don't mix too much dye at once, you can always make more. If you have leftover (unmixed) dye, that's no problem. WECOLOUR colour cream has a shelf life of 12 months after opening.
