Parisians Have Spoken—Iced Chocolate Is Proving the Most Elevated Hair Colour of the Season

The weather is getting warmer, the evenings are getting lighter, and I don't know about you, but my mood is suddenly a whole lot better. Yep, summer is officially on its way, and I'm ready to revamp my look for the new season. I've already started to curate the perfect capsule wardrobe for the warmer months, and now I'm thinking about what changes I can make to my beauty routine. One thing I'm really interested in is this season's biggest hair trends.
I've not touched my hair for months as I've been feeling somewhat uninspired, and because of this it's now in desperate need of a cut and a colour refresh. But the big question is, what hair colour should I go for? Although I tend to sway towards lighter hair trends in the spring and summer such as "teddy bear" blonde or balayage, there's a somewhat darker shade that has been stealing my attention as of late, and it seems that Parisians can't get enough. Let me introduce you to iced chocolate hair.
What Is Iced Chocolate Hair?
So, what is this hair trend? As the name suggests, this hair colour has a rich, cool-toned chocolatey hue that looks as delicious as it sounds. However, it's the glossy finish that makes this trend so elevated. Yep, this iridescent, high-shine effect gives it that icy feel that makes your hair look so expensive. I've spotted lots of my favourite French influencers sporting this shade, and if it's good enough for them, it's definitely good enough for me.
