Blonde ambition: this season's two biggest blonde trends

With clients undoubtedly wanting to go lighter as holiday season approaches, we caught up with Jack Howard who's just been named UK Colour Spokesperson for L'Oréal Professionnel, to get the lowdown of this summer's must have blonde shades. Nude Hair “We all know about warm and cool hair colours, but what’s the deal with neutral ones? With nude hair, there’s a balance. There’s an even amount of both warm and cool tones, which cancel each other out to create a neutral shade. Think mousey but expensive. To create this look, we’re blending several blonde shades together to create that overall ‘nude’ finish. It’s becoming an increasingly popular look as it works with all complexions – neutral shades work great on blonde hair and it’s a low maintenance service.  As seen on Amanda Seyfried and Cara Delevingne.” Rose Gold “This trend has exploded on social media with Emma Roberts being one of the first A-listers to go for the rosy overhaul. Going rose-gold means you’d need to start with very blonde hair – natural or pre-lightened which obviously involves a lot of upkeep, not one for those who like a low maintenance colour. However if you’ve got that light blonde shade, rose gold is easily achieved as it’s just a tonal change – think Sienna Miller. Rose Gold is most definitely not pink, it’s much more grown up and wearable, flecks of copper gold within the colour can be made darker or lighter depending on your preference.”
