Blondes should be looking to their cup of coffee for inspiration this summer, a stylist recommends.
As hair colour trends for the year are predicted to be soft and natural – such as ‘your hair but better’ – blonde is getting the same treatment.
Now, it’s all about opting for milky shades, through to subtle blonde-brown tints.
Bblonde stylist Jason Collier reveals the top ‘barista blonde’ shades to try.
Oat milk cappuccino
Jason says: ‘Cool tone and golden, oat milk cappuccino captures ashiness but with a slight warm undertone that works as an all over colour or a balayage for brunettes.’
A not-too-warm yet not-too-cool shade – just like the perfect cappuccino.
And, being not overly ashy, it’ll be easier to maintain the shade at home, as white blondes need heaps of purple shampoo and extras to last.
Vanilla latte
Jason says: ‘Kind on the complexion, vanilla latte blonde captures that super light blonde without being bright – existing in a milky, vanilla-y, creamy in between tone.’
He says this works on most skin tones, too.
‘Sabrina Carpenter’s vanilla latte hair is gorgeously milky with slight babylights,’ he references.
Iced blonde brew
Jason says: ‘A super cool tone but super-wearable, iced blonde brew is a light shade of blonde that teeters on platinum without reaching those whiter tones.
‘While it will take more maintenance, this shade suits all skin tones and hair styles and lengths.
‘Molly Mae Hague is the ultimate iced blonde brew babe with ashy roots leading to iced blonde brew ends.’
He recommends using blonde toner to keep this looking fresh.
Caramel frappuccino
Jason says: ‘Golden and sumptuous, but incredibly unique the caramel frappuccino colour is a knockout.
‘Bringing warmth to the face it can be mixed with brunette as balayage, highlights, halo lights, or full colour, and is stunning all year round.’
This needs far less maintenance of all the options and requires the least amount of bleaching, depending on your hair shade.
For brunettes wanting to go blonde, this could be the easiest way to start.
‘I love this shade on Madelyn Cline – super classy and super glossy,’ he adds.
‘Bleached and coloured hair will always require extra TLC so ensure you use purple pigment shampoos and masks.’
