Trending: The Barista Blonde Shades of SS23
Celebrity Hairstylist reveals the brewing colour trends
Blonde hair never goes out of style, but it seems the latest blonde trends are steering – or stirring – towards our favourite morning pick me up, coffee! From Vanilla Latte to Oat Milk Cappuccino, Celebrity Hairstylist and Brand Educator of the UK’s number 1 blonding brand Bblonde, Jason Collier reveals the SS23 blondes that are grinding our hair inspo.
OAT MILK CAPPUCCINO
“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.”
“If you’re daring to go from dark to oat milk, you’ll have to start with Bblonde Maximum Blonding Kit (£5.99 Boots) to lift your hair shades, even if you are just going for balayage like Khloe. Then you can follow up with semi-permanent (Bblonde Toner Ash £4.99 Superdrug), or permanent colour (Bblonde Permanent Hair Colour Golden £10.49 Amazon). If you’re starting off with already natural light or lightened hair you can just skip to the colour.”
VANILLA LATTE
“Kind on the complexion, Vanilla Latte Blonde captures that super light blonde without being bright, cool or even ash; existing in a milky, vanilla-y, creamy tone between warm and cool that suits all skin types.”
“Sabrina Carpenter’s Vanilla Latte hair is gorgeously milky with slight babylights. For those going from brunette to blonde, again you’ll have to start with Bblonde Ultra Blonding Kit (£7.99 Boots) to lift your hair shades. For a semi-permanent colour use Bblonde Semi-Permanent Colour Golden Blonde (£7.75 Amazon), or for permanent colour use Bblonde Permanent Hair Colour Natural Blonde (£8.60 Amazon). If you’re starting off with already natural light or lightened hair you can just skip to the colour.”
ICED BLONDE BREW
“Super cool tone but super wearable, Iced Blonde Brew is a light shade of blonde that teeters on platinum without reaching those whiter tones. Whilst 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. For those going from brunette to blonde, again you’ll have to start with Bblonde Ultra Blonding Kit (£7.99 Boots) to lift your hair shades. For a semi-permanent colour use Bblonde Maximum Blonde Toner Pearl (£4.99 Superdrug), or for permanent colour use Bblonde Permanent Hair Colour Lightest Blonde (£8.99 Boots). If you’re starting off with already natural light or lightened hair you can just skip to the colour.”
CARAMEL FRAPPUCCINO
“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.”
“I love this shade on Madelyn Cline – super classy and super glossy. For those going from brunette to blonde, again you want to start by lifting hair shades with the Bblonde Maximum Blonding Kit (£5.99 Boots). For a semi-permanent colour use Bblonde Maximum Blonde Toner Caramel (£4.99 Amazon), or for permanent colour use Bblonde ProColour Dark Blonde (£7.46 Amazon). If you’re starting off with already natural light or lightened hair you can just skip to the colour.”
MAINTAINING YOUR BLONDE
“Bleached and coloured hair will always require extra TLC so ensure you use purple pigment shampoos and masks, I love Jerome Russell Bblonde Intense Silver No Yellow Shampoo (£9.99 Superdrug), and Mask (£9.99 Superdrug). And lastly don’t skip the hair bond maintenance! Using a Bond Maintaining Treatment like Bblonde Jplex (£9.99 Amazon) will keep your hair and your blonde shade looking stronger and healthier for longer.”
