Bronde Season 2.0: The Dual Demi Strategy
Using Alkaline and Acidic Demi to Create Dimensional Warmth that lasts.
Bronde is back for 2026—but not the dusty, faded version from a few years ago. “Bronde Season 2.0” is richer, warmer, and more dimensional, built on long-lasting undertones and glossy surface tonalities that shift with the light. To get that kind of wearable, lived-in warmth, stylists are leaning on a dual-Demi strategy: SHADES ALK Alkaline Demi for foundational depth and staying power, and Shades EQ Acidic Demi for the perfect glossy finish.
This isn’t about choosing one or the other—it’s about knowing what each technology does best so your bronde never goes flat or muddy.
Where SHADES ALK Alkaline Demi Works Hardest
Stylists are using alkaline demi to anchor the look, because its slight lift and deeper deposit latch onto the underlying pigment and keep your warmth from washing out.
Key advantages include:
• Longer-lasting warmth that resists oxidation and fading
• Slight lift to brighten natural bases without committing to full permanent
• Stronger saturation that builds the “bronde backbone” of the look
Think: root melts that don’t turn dull, mid-shaft warmth that stays dimensional instead of muddy, and bright pieces that hold their richness longer between glosses.
Where Shades EQ Acidic Demi Elevates the Finish
Use it when you want:
• A glossy, conditioned finish your clients instantly recognize
• Micro-adjustments in tone—golden, honey, amber, or beige without shifting depth
• Refreshes between appointments that maintain the look without over-darkening
It’s the “soft focus” layer that makes the bronde look expensive, intentional, and smooth.
The Bronde 2.0 Formula for 2026
The result? A bronde that reads sunlit, luxurious, and modern—warmth that lasts, reflection that stays fluid, and dimension that never turns brassy.
