While bronde hair is arguably the most popular blonde hair colour trend right now, it’s very natural-looking. And if you’re someone who wants to feel as though their blonde hair is vibrant and bright, sunflower blonde might just be the summer shade for you. 

“Warmer and golden blonde tones have been steadily gaining traction as blondes want a bit of the ‘glow’ that copper and red hair offers without losing their ‘blonde identity’,” explains hairstylist and trend expert Tom Smith. “Sunflower blonde is the perfect summery shade to bring a bit of ‘golden hour’ all day, every day. Soft and multi-tonal, the shade can be achieved with highlights on naturally lighter hair or with a full colour plus highlights on naturally deeper bases. The tones are entirely golden with a real focus on shine and vibrancy.”

Wondering if sunflower blonde will work for you? Chances are, it will. “Gold tones can suit and lift a variety of skin tones and work well to lift the complexion and make the hair look extra healthy – a great trick if bleached hair is looking dull or tired.”

“Health and shine are crucial for the success of this look, so using regular conditioning treatments and bond builders will help to maintain the glow of the hair. Have your hairstylist use an intense gold toner after your usual blonding appointment to try this shade out if you’re already blonde. If your hair is darker and you want to try this out, it’s surprisingly easy to achieve as darker hair tends to lift with warm and golden tones anyway.”
