blonding
Going toward golden
Blonding is the process of lightening hair to achieve blonde tones, whether through bleaching, highlights, or other coloring techniques.
The term appears in salon contexts and beauty discussions: I'm going in for a blonding session tomorrow.
It can also describe gradual natural lightening: Her hair started blonding in the summer sun.
