Bronde: the colour of summer
The hair colour for summer 2015 is officially bronde. This cross between brunette and blonde has become the must-have look of recent times, with everyone from J-Lo to Cara Delevingne and Blake Lively sporting the new celebrity hair colourronde works with a lot of natural colours as the highlights work with your natural shades, and your hair doesn’t need bleaching to a blank canvas before you add colour so it’s good to maintain healthy hair. It tends to add brightness and colour to brunettes and warmth and a rich overtone to natural blondes, so this mid-tone finish works well with almost every natural colour and skin tone.
The colour does a good job of recreating naturally sun-bleached brunette hair, and the best results come from free-painted highlights rather than foils. The end-result is hair with colour and depth; it’s a truly wearable fashion that doesn’t make it look like you’re trying too hard.
Some hairdressers believe it works best on a natural brunette, as there is a danger of ending up with a stripy finish on blonde hair. However, that is down to the stylist to get right and if the hairdresser has the skills, a natural blonde can rock this look as easily as a brunette.
If you plan on trying to recreate this look, the key is to keep the lighter colour softer towards the middle of the hair and harder towards the hair tips; it’s a fine balance and too much can make it look like an 80s-style dip-dye, which would be a fashion disaster.
Don’t go too aggressive with the colour, either, it should be just a few shades lighter than your natural hair or the subtle finish will actually end up like a Zebra-striped nightmare.
As the highlights are blended with natural colour, the bronde look is seriously low-maintenance, too, and you can have it redone every six months without the ladies who lunch pointing and sneering at your head. Blonde highlights, in contrast, generally need redoing every six to eight weeks.
Bronde is a stunning look when it’s done right, so consider giving your hair a bronde makeover soon.
