Trending Blonde Hair Colors
Live your Abba dreams with Scandi blonde
Scandi blonde channels the cool, minimalist vibe of Scandinavian style with bright, icy hues (think Mamma Mia!). With its ultra-light, almost platinum shade, this striking style turns heads and pairs perfectly with chic, euro-style outfits.
If you plan on sailing the Med this month – or simply want to feel like you’re in a summery paradise – Scandi blonde will fit the vibe!
Beating brassiness can be tough in this shade, so look into our Blonde Toning Drops and a Weekly Blonde Masque.
Crème brûlée blond: a bit of everything
Can’t make up your mind on a shade of blonde? Crème brûlée blonde is a delicious blend of warm and cool tones that come together for a rich, multidimensional look. Think butter blond, but a bit warmer and with hints of darker tones.
This luscious, layered color has been all the rage thanks to Sabrina Carpenter, but anyone can rock it thanks to its depth and versatility! It works on a range of skin tones and hair types, delivering an effortlessly glamorous vibe without committing too much to cool or warm tones.
Pro-tip: for a boost of extra Sabrina-esque volume, use our Volume Shampoo, Volume Conditioner, and Volume Blow Dry Spray.
Love lived-in? Go for sandy blonde
For something a bit blonder than bronde but darker than crème brûlée, sandy blonde is sure to please. Perfect for those who love a low-maintenance, lived-in style that still feels trendy, sandy blonde offers a layered, sun-lightened vibe where dark roots are welcome.
Taylor Swift herself has been rocking it this summer, so you know it’s in vogue.
If you’re embracing a mellower shade of blonde to repair damage, our Baobab Recovery Shampoo and Baobab Recovery Conditioner will help your cause!
Trending Brunette Hair Colors
Embrace the gloss with expensive brunette
Can’t get enough of the mob wife aesthetic? That may be thanks to the look’s expensive brunette hairstyle, which is all about rich, glossy, high-maintenance glamor.
This trending dark color gives your hair a luxurious, polished finish that looks straight out of a high-end salon. It's special for its deep shading and shine, making your locks look healthier and fuller.
For a dose of gloss between salon visits, try our fan-favorite Smooth Drops. They’ll give you the luster and shine you need to embrace your inner diva!
For a dash of the dark side, espresso brunette and jet black
For something even darker and moodier, check out the nearly-black espresso brunette, or go all-in with the trendy jet black. These mysterious shades give your hair a sleek, sophisticated edge – the perfect way to show the world a dramatic transformation! Think Charli XCX and Lorde.
Our smooth collection will really bring these colors home, so we recommend using a blend of our Smooth Shampoo, Smooth Conditioner, and Plush Locks Leave-In Smooth.
The best of both worlds with golden brunette
Golden brunette, also known as microlights, combines the richness of brunette with the brightness of subtle golden highlights. This summery color is all about sun-kissed warmth, giving your hair a natural boost of light without being too bold.
If you’re on the hunt for a subtle, glamorous update, this summer hair trend is an easy win!
Because it has a grounded vibe, this look also pairs well with natural hair textures. To embrace your waves and curls without too much fuss, give our Tru Curl Enhancing Crème a try.
Unique Trending Hair Colors
For flirting with red: Apricot blonde
What if we told you there was a way to experiment with strawberry blonde without going full strawberry? Meet apricot blonde, a flirty hue that combines warm blonde with hints of red undertones.
Thanks to its peachy undertones, this color is perfect for dipping a toe into the red spectrum and rocking a fun, summery twist on blonde.
If your hair's a little tired of bleach, our Cuticle Closer Smoothing Treatment will help strengthen your strands, tame frizz, and enhance fluidity.
Can’t wait for fall vibes? Try spiced rum
Ready to go from brunette to full redhead? One of this season’s hottest hair colors is perfect for the transition between summer and fall: spiced rum, a rich, warm blend of red and brown. It’s a bit darker than cowboy copper, but a bit redder than strawberry blonde.
Reminiscent of cozy fall days, this trend has been seen on everyone from Zendaya to Emma Stone, who arguably popularized the look.
It’s also super fun to style, so be sure to add our Lift It Mousse and Volume Blow Dry Spray to your toolkit.
For a subtle pop, try barely-there pastel
Whether it’s pastel pink a-la-Ladybird or mermaid-style pastel blue, there’s no denying that pastels give edgy, chic, and endlessly cool. But we’ve seen a twist on the look this summer from icons like Julia Fox: instead of all-over pastel, super subtle shading on otherwise bleach-blonde hair is trending.
By adding just a whisper of color, barely-there pastel is ideal for summer experimentation and an understated pop of fun.
If a bleach-blonde base leaves your strands dry and frizzy, our Radically Smooth Taming Crème will help seal and soothe.
We have no doubt you’ll finish the season with your trendiest hair color yet! Don’t forget to bring us along on your color journey using the hashtag #ColorproofHair Instagram and TikTok (@colorproofhair).
