Move over platinum blonde and granny grey, 2016 is setting a new trend that’s not blonde, it’s not brunette, but somewhere (really appealing) in the middle. Bronde is the new popular trend for the blondes that want to go darker, but not too dark and the brunettes that want to go lighter, but not too light. It’s combining highlight techniques that give off a multidimensional look. The key to achieving this color is to have a lot of your natural base color showing. Balayage, the hand painted technique, often gives the best results. It is a very low maintenance color so it is perfect for anyone that is a little color wary or not able to get to the salon very often! It gives off the ideal sun-kissed look without all the sun damage! Check out some inspiration below…
Another fashionable trend that’s being noticed are the soft pastels. Pantone’s color of the year is Rose Quartz and Serenity. The two colors have made headway not only in fashion, but makeup and hair color. They can be worn individually or with soft ombre highlights on the ends of the hair. It makes a dreamy color that’s pure fun running errands or at a summer festival! You’ll be sure to make heads turn!
