You know what they say, the grass is always greener, on the other side. This summer, when it comes to hair though, it's blonder. We're out the other side of lockdown and after months of growing extra familiar with our roots loads of us are looking for a hair shake-up. And nothing says freshhh like bleached blondes.
“There’s going to be a bigger move towards blondes again,” says pro hair stylist, Luke Hersheson. “After being stuck inside for so long, I think people want brightening up,” he adds. “They want to feel lighter and lifted – and a bright colour can have a really uplifting, mood-boosting effect.”
One colour we're crushing on hard, is the vanilla cream shade served up all over social. The colour, is crisp (thanks to that icy undertone), then warmed up, ready for summer with a hint of creamy vanilla tint and shots of bright blonde illuminage framing the face. All blended into a slightly bronzed and subtly sandy root colour to pull everything together.
Basically, it's exactly the kind of colour transformation that can help us feel refreshed and pulled together. It's a clean-slate hair colour that can coax us out of our sweatpants and back into the real world.
That said, it's probably worth mentioning that as far as chill shades go, this one is a little high maintenance and can take hours to create in the salon, followed by regular salon visits to maintain it.
Monthly touch-up will blend it to the roots and add depth.
