The warmth is here, and it is here to stay. Whether you are going blonde, brunette, or somewhere in between, getting the shade right for your skin tone is everything. This season, it is all about rich tones, sunlit dimension, and colours that bring your hair to life in every kind of light.
Award-winning celebrity hair stylist and founder of Melissa Salons, Melissa Timperley reveals five hair colour trends that everyone will be asking for in the chair.
Rolo hair
Imagine the glossy depth of your favourite chocolate caramel treat—rolo hair is just that. It is all about rich, dimensional brunette bases infused with golden undertones and molten ribbons of amber that catch the light like spun sugar. The magic is in the layering: it is luxurious, warm, and full of movement. Think chocolate meets caramel with a grown-up, high-gloss finish.
24-carat blonde
This is not your standard golden blonde—24-carat blonde is intensely warm, rich, and luxe, like sunlight captured in hair. A perfect balance of gold and honey tones, this shade feels expensive, dimensional, and completely mood-lifting. It works beautifully across a range of skin tones, especially those with warm or neutral undertones. It is giving a summer glow, all year round.
Oyster blonde
For the blondes who do not want to go icy or silver, oyster blonde is the soft, creamy alternative. Think pale vanilla and cool beige woven together with a subtle pearl finish. It is ethereal and elegant, offering lightness without harshness. This shade is perfect for lifting the complexion and giving blonde hair that smooth, milky, luxe look.
Peaches and cream
Straddling the line between strawberry blonde and soft copper, peaches and cream is the summery twist we are loving right now. It is ideal for natural redheads looking to brighten their tone, or blondes craving a soft, peachy warmth. The overall effect is sun-kissed, playful, and utterly romantic—like your hair has been lightly glossed with sorbet.
Pecan brown
The effortlessly cool brunette shade that is taking over Instagram—especially on Bailey Biber’s grid—pecan brown is the brunette answer to summer gloss. It is multidimensional, warm without being brassy, and full of natural-looking light reflections. Imagine brown sugar meets sunlit espresso—flattering, wearable, and rich with subtle warmth.
