There’s no doubt about the influence the weather has on our hair colour. Each year as autumn rolls around we see warmth in the form of copper, gold, and spice – but as we head into winter everything turns icy with platinum blonde and cool brunette around every turn. If you’re looking for a winter-worthy finish but you’ve reached Barbie burnout, we’ve got a few new ways to embrace blonde this season. By now, you might have heard about Bambi Blonde, Scandi Hairline, and Expensive Blonde, but no matter the name or placement, the overarching factor for most blondes this season is a cool, borderline neutral finish.
From brightening your mood to creating a more vibrant complexion, these are just a few of the reasons why blonde hair colour dominates during the winter months and this year we’ll see cool blonde tones with lived-in placement take over. This includes lots of beige, sand, nude, or pearl finishes. By opting for a cool, cozy blonde instead of the go-to platinum tones, you’re able to dial back the damage while turning up your undertones.
Who is cool blonde best suited for?
Typically cool hair colours are best for those with cool skin complexions — think pink or blue undertones. However, because the new cool tones for winter also include more neutral options, the colour can translate to a wider audience that includes warmer skin tones. The goal of this new style is to work with what you’ve got — your natural hair colour — and enhance it from there.
