Summer is usually synonymous with platinum blonde hair but we're ripping up the rule book for 2023.
‘Bronzed blonde’ is the chicer, more pared back iteration of blonde hair that we're ushering in for summer - and it's all thanks to Margot Robbie, J-Lo and Sydney Sweeney.
“This season sees the soft, sultry and luxurious blonde that oozes sophistication come into play,” says hair legend, Larry King. “Bronzed blonde is all about high shine, glossy and fabulous condition. It’s a subtle natural looking base which is blended with a pop of sun-kissed spotlights around the face.”
Larry says the hue is perfect for those looking to take their first steps towards more natural blonder tones; ultimately it's the perfect glossy, pre and post holiday look and who doesn't want that?
“Bronzed blonde is the perfect in-between hue, no matter your natural hair colour,” says Larry. “Whether you're a blonde going darker or a brunette trying to lighten up a little, you're guaranteed to win the gold with a little bronze.”
If you're thinking of trialling the trend for summer (go on, we dare you), choose a shade of bronze that coordinates with the undertones of your hair and skin. If you're not sure what will look best, consult your colourist who can help.
Larry, who coined the trend, achieves the look in his salon using Redken’s iconic Shades EQ Liquid Color. “We start by making the base of the hair to the natural colour of the client's base colour and then add blonde sun-kissed spotlights around the face to make the subtle natural bronzed blend.”
Treating your hair with the right products when regularly colouring it is super important to ensure your colour looks alive and fresh throughout summer when it could be subject to sun and sea. Using a hair oil is your secret weapon here. We love using Larry's brand-new Spoilt For Choice hair oil as a hair mask - as it is more intense than a regular conditioner, it adds moisture and nutrients, increases shine and prevents frizz.
Opt for bronzed blonde to channel your inner Barbie girl this summer…
