Get the Glow: Exploring the Latest Blonde Hair Trends

Whether you’re a natural blonde or looking to add brightness to your look, these trends can help achieve the perfect glow.

Trend 1

Sunbeam Blonde

Are you looking for a summer colour that brings the glow? Look no further than sunbeam blonde! We are ready to manifest the sunny weather and there is no better way than to have a hair transformation to reflect that. Sunbeam blonde is having a moment right now.

Sunbeam blonde is just like the name suggests — a bright sun-kissed and natural blonde. The colour emulates the look you get from sitting in the sun. Different tones are used to create dimension in the hair which helps to brighten up your face and give you a healthy glow.

• Great for mousey or bright blonde hair looking for a refresh without a big change.
• Keeps colour natural and easy to maintain.
• Fresh, wearable and suited to all hair types and skin tones.

Trend 2

Old Money Blonde

Old money blonde is a soft, sun kissed shade that seamlessly blends with your natural hair colour. It’s been seen on many celebrities from Margot Robbie to Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. It’s a sought-after shade because it’s low maintenance compared to other styles of blonde which can require a full head of highlights.

Old money blonde creates luxurious and rich tones — a versatile trend that is great for anybody. Whether you are already blonde and wanting to adapt your shade for Spring, or if you have darker hair and are looking to add more lightness to it.

The key to creating a successful old money blonde look is to blend the shades together so it doesn’t look like highlights. Ask your colourist for a natural and seamless blonde that enhances your natural tones.

Trend 3

Bronde Balayage

What’s the ultimate fusion of blonde and brunette tones? Bronde balayage. This trend is seamlessly blended to create a sun-kissed and natural look. A soft and subtle dimension is achieved by hand painting highlights onto the hair. Balayage can be easily customized to your hair whether you prefer soft caramel tones or rich honey hues for added warmth. This is the perfect choice if you’re seeking a low key and stylish look that means fewer trips to the salon.

Sarah McKenna is the founder of Vixen & Blush and The London Hair Lab. Sarah graduated as a research biochemist in 2005 and started a career within the pharmaceutical industry, before becoming a hair extensions expert. In 2010, Sarah gained insight into the hair extensions industry and could see that clients had a very poor value/quality proposition. At that time, poor-quality hair extensions were available, at prohibitively high prices. Sarah left her initial career and set out on a mission to improve the hair extensions industry in the UK, using her research and development skills.

Spending 3 years securing a high-quality and sustainable supply of human hair, Sarah then developed new products and fitting techniques to allow long-term refits of the same hair. In this way, Sarah was able to offer hair extensions services at a more affordable price to clients, while improving the quality of the service for her clients.

With Vixen & Blush starting in 2012 as a 1 chair salon in London, Sarah quickly grew the business to what it is today, a team of more than 20 hair professionals working together as London’s leading hair extensions specialists.
