Golden Bronze Upkeep — Honest Maintenance Guide.

Golden Bronze is a medium-upkeep shade. Medium upkeep. Plan a gloss or tone refresh every 4–6 weeks, color-safe shampoo, and cooler washes to hold the reflect.

The gloss refresh is non-negotiable — skip it and the reflect goes dull before the color actually fades. Budget the appointment, not just the tube.
