Nothing tempts us outdoors and out of our winter slumbers quite like the signs of spring; the clear blue skies leading to warmer and longer days, th bounding lambs in Cornwall Park, and the abundance of blooming flowers. With so many signs of rejuvenation and rebirth, it's only natural to give in to our own desires for sudden change. It's time to energize our winter locks and give our strands a rebrand.
I've compiled a garden variety of hues ranging from oven-fresh pastry goods to roasted coffee notes, along with other delectable tones plus a cunning shade of midnight blue fitting for those spontaneous, impromptu spring evening outings.
However you may picture your spring 'glow up', we've got all of the hair transformation inpso to get you there.
Mascarpone Blonde
Imagine a perfectly quaffed, fluffy pillow of cream, now imagine dabbing a few drops of lemon juice and maybe some zest before folding it through, the colour of your result - is Mascarpone blonde. It's a succulent shade that radiates elements of sophistication and opulence with pastel creamy hues that offer whispers of buttery tones.
Mascarpone blonde will require a thorough lightening service and is ideal on natural bases that are mid-toned browns or lighter. It's best to avoid using strong purple shampoos or treatments as this shade of blonde is all about hanging onto those muted warm tones.
Coco Espresso
Want to energise your old winter brown? The Coco Espresso balayage is the most elegant and subtle way to bring dimension to rich warm brown bases without over-compromising the condition of the hair. Whether your length is waist or shoulder-grazing, this dreamy concoction can be brought to life in styles long or short.
With a base the colour of that chocolatey puddle of goodness left over from hot cocoa and swirling with hazelnut highlights, the Coco Espresso balayage is too delectable to pass up on
Strawberry Blonde
Strawberry blonde is a muted classic that's reemerging this spring, it's painted with the same dreamy brush as some of last season's copper trends and carries hues belonging to the palette of a spring garden in bloom.
The beauty of Strawberry blonde is that it can range in tone, whether you choose to go for a more golden-forward shade or opt for a pastel tangerine, there's a custom blend to suit you.
Toasted Blonde
Just like a freshly baked croissant with a crispy top layer humming with tones of warmed beige and golden brown, this Toasted blonde hums with hues alike. Rippled with caramel dimension and nutty-toned highlights, this delicious combination of tones will leave you with dreamy hair and a satisfied sugar craving.
When it comes to styling, Toasted Blonde truly heroes full-bodied curly and wavy hair textures, so the bigger the better.
Aperol
Vibrant and fizzing with tones you'd find at the bottom of your Spritz cocktail, Aperol auburn offers all of the punchy blood orange hues that are harmonious with the shades of your spring wardrobe. A tangy shade of auburn that can be brought to life on blonde hair right through to dark brown or red natural bases. For an additional element of glam, incorporate a shine or gloss into your fortnight routine.
Aperol Auburn is your refreshing spring palette cleanser that belongs above clinking glasses in a crowded garden party.
Dark Denim
If vibrancy isn't really your vibe but still want to join in on the fun, this Dark Denim blue black could be your next moody partner in crime. Quiet luxury coded in a film noir type of way, this sleek dark hue could be your aesthetics' next secret weapon.
At first glimpse, Dark Denim looks like just another shade of ebony but underneath the moonlight is where she peacocks her navy blue reflects. Styled flat, glassy and straight with a black blazer or done curly, cool and casual with a Canadian tuxedo, Dark Denim will remain your undercover showstopper.
