Cherry Cola
For anyone craving red-but-not-too-red. This red-brown shade mixes depth and dimension, giving brunettes a pigment pop and a subtle glow. It has the advantage of appearing more subtle indoors only to burst with crimson vibrancy when kissed by sunlight. Especially popular with brunettes thanks to the hue it adds to darker bases, this versatile look suits a wide variety of occasions and can be styled for an especially moody look.
Golden Glass Blonde
Warm, luminous blonde tones inspired by “golden hour” light. Soft, wearable, and polished—perfect for blondes looking to elevate their shade. With the return of warmth into many hair trends, this is a welcomed trend and deviation from silver tones permeating the beauty industry. While it’s relatively higher maintenance compared to others on this list given you’ll need keep the tone even, it’s a bold return to subtly you shouldn’t miss!

The warmer hue softens the look while still maintaining the elegantly luminous blonde. It results in a look that perfectly negotiates light blonde shades while remaining very wearable.
