As a beauty editor, I write about hair trends every single day, so I thought it was about time I tried one of the trends out for myself. Besides, the new season is here, and I fancy a bit of a transformation for the upcoming months. I've not dyed my hair in almost a year, and you can definitely tell. I used to have blonde balayage, but my dark roots have come through, and the blonde has faded to a brassy yellow shade. Yep, a hair appointment was long overdue.
Luckily for me, after researching some of the biggest hair colour trends of the season, I came across a trend that was so stunning I knew that I had to give it a go. So, I booked in at my favourite hair salon in London, Hershesons, and watched my hair transform right before my very eyes. What trend am I talking about, I hear you ask? None other than "butterscotch blonde".
I recently went "butterscotch blonde" and I'm in love with my new hair colour.
As you might be able to tell from the video above, I left my recent hair appointment feeling very happy about my transformation. If you want to find out more about this trend (and see my before and after pics), just keep on scrolling...
What Is the Butterscotch Blonde Hair Colour Trend?
So, what is butterscotch blonde hair? As you might be able to tell, this is more of a multidimensional hair colour that combines blonde tones with warm caramel hues. The result is a creamy, golden finish. This shade is great for those of you who have slightly darker hair and want to go lighter, but still want your hair colour to look soft and natural. It is, in my opinion, the ultimate summer hair colour.
My Butterscotch Blonde Hair Transformation
Before My Appointment
As you can see, my blonde balayage had faded a lot and my natural hair colour was feeling a little dark for the warmer weather.
During My Appointment
My hair colourist expertly placed the hair dye to frame my face and brighten my hair in all the right places.
After My Appointment
I couldn't be happier with the results. My hair still looks super natural, but a lot lighter and more sun-kissed than before. If you want more butterscotch blonde hair inspiration, then keep on scrolling...
