Creamy vanilla and warm beige blondes

The icy, over-toned blonde of recent years is finally loosening its grip. In its place comes a warmer,
creamier blonde that reads softer on the face and richer on camera. Think vanilla, beige and
champagne tones rather than stark platinum.
This shift has already been visible on celebrities like Sabrina Carpenter, whose signature blonde has
become a reference point for modern warmth, and Jennifer Lawrence, who has consistently
favoured beige blondes that flatter without overpowering. According to leading colourists quoted by
Stylist, these tones reflect light back onto the skin, creating a more rested, luminous effect.
These blondes suit warm, olive and neutral undertones particularly well and are ideal for anyone
transitioning from darker roots. The key detail is blending: soft roots, subtle lowlights and a finish
that feels grown-in rather than freshly striped.

Almond butter swirl brunettes

For those not ready to go blonde, almond butter swirl has emerged as one of the most requested shades in salons. It’s a caramel-leaning brunette lifted with soft highlights that add movement and warmth without obvious contrast. 

Colourists describe it as a way to brighten brown hair without stripping its depth. The appeal lies in how wearable it is: it catches light, looks healthy, and avoids the harsh maintenance cycles of traditional highlights. This shade works particularly well on natural brunettes who want dimension but still want their hair to feel effortless. The defining feature here is shine. Without gloss and condition, almond tones can fall flat. With it, they read expensive. 

Molten chocolate and espresso browns

Deep brunettes are having a quiet renaissance. Instead of flat, inky black or muddy browns, 2026 is all about molten chocolate, mocha and espresso tones that feel glossy and intentional. This “quiet luxury” shade has been seen repeatedly on celebrities who treat brunette as a signature rather than a phase. From Kaia Gerber’s espresso lengths to Kerry Washington’s rich, warm base. Colour experts note that these tones photograph beautifully because they absorb and reflect light evenly, creating a satin-like finish. These shades suit a wide range of skin tones but are especially flattering for those who wear warm metals or neutral wardrobes. The trick is restraint: minimal highlight placement and a strong emphasis on glossing treatments to maintain reflectivity. 

Onyx brunette

Onyx brunette takes darkness one step further, but with precision. This isn’t simply going darker – it’s about depth, cool-plum undertones and mirror-like shine. Experts describe onyx as a high-impact colour that relies heavily on condition and finish. When done well, it looks sleek, modern and almost liquid. When neglected, it can appear heavy. That’s why stylists stress maintenance through glosses rather than repeated dyeing. This shade suits cool and neutral undertones particularly well and pairs effortlessly with monochrome wardrobes. It’s dramatic without being theatrical — a colour that communicates confidence through restraint. 

Bropper: brunette infused with copper

Copper isn’t disappearing, but it is evolving. In 2026, it shows up subtly, woven into brunette bases rather than worn as a statement shade. Known as “bropper”, this tone blends warm copper undertones into brown hair, creating a glow that appears only when light hits it. Colourists see this as an entry point for those curious about red tones but wary of commitment. It works especially well on warmer skin tones and complements neutral, earthy wardrobes. The effect is richness rather than redness. 

Milk chocolate brown

Sometimes a trend announces itself through a single, well-timed transformation. When Sofía Vergara debuted her milk chocolate brown hair, it felt less like reinvention and more like refinement. The shade – largely single-toned with subtle warmth – instantly looked healthier, softer and more polished. Milk chocolate brown has since become a reference for anyone wanting to reset their colour after years of highlights. It suits medium to deep complexions particularly well and offers a low-maintenance route back to shine and cohesion. 

Why these colours feel right now

Across all these shades, the through-line is clarity. Hair colour in 2026 is not about chasing novelty but about enhancing what already exists. Softer transitions, warmer undertones and high-shine finishes reflect a broader aesthetic shift toward intention and longevity.

CeraVe SA Smoothing Cleanser with Salicylic Acid

Let’s begin with the first thing you need to start your day – cleanser. CeraVe’s popularity skyrocketed after skincare expert Hyram expressed his love for the brand. Fans rushed to their local drugstores to pick up as many of these products as possible. The SA Smoothing Cleanser is perfect for controlling breakouts and oily skin.

The product is quite reasonably priced, too. Who knew that the answer to all our problems would only cost us £12.50 at Boots?

So many influencers have expressed their love for this product and shared their transformations since they started using it. A notable example includes Dr Muneeb Shah, better known as @dermdoctor on TikTok. He showed his 17 million followers how to pick the perfect Cerave cleanser for each specific type of skin and has continuously expressed his love for the product.

E.L.F Poreless Putty Primer

This gorgeous blurring primer has become incredibly popular on TikTok, with creators showing just how airbrushed their makeup looked after using it. All of the social media hype eventually led to it becoming the No. 1 primer in the United States. To celebrate, E.L.F Cosmetics started a TikTok challenge, encouraging beauty gurus to post videos using the primer for the chance to with a free primer and be featured on their page. Creators like Leilani Green and Victoria Lyn are among some of the lucky winners of the challenge.

The product is an absolute godsend for makeup lovers with textured skin and pores. Because of the putty formula, it also mattifies the face, unlike gel primers which usually produce a greasier look. After application, the product makes the skin slightly tacky and sticky – which is a sign of a great primer. Your makeup will be fully locked in for the full day – and for only £9, who can complain?

Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush

We don’t think this product really needs any introduction. It’s been plastered all over TikTok and Instagram and beauty gurus are obsessed with this formula. Simply being attached to Selena Gomez’s name made it easy for this brand to take over the makeup industry. Selena herself has over 55 million followers on TikTok, so every time she posts anything to do with her makeup brand, it inevitably goes viral. She also sat down with Vogue to record a Beauty Secrets video in 2020 (which now has 15 million views), in which she showcases using the liquid blush in her favourite shade – Joy.

After seeing how stunning the formula looked on Selena, fans were quick to rush to her website and try out the product. The glowy blush has been seen looking absolutely gorgeous on so many influencers of all skin tones and genders. Rare Beauty’s Global Stylist, Cynthia De Meo’s “blushing from within” technique soon went viral with TikTokers like Glamzilla and Nidal Kabashi hopping on the trend to create a stunning subtle blush look. This super lightweight, blendable blush seems to have a pretty strong hold on the beauty industry.

MACStack Mascara

If you’ve been dying for some ultra-luscious lashes, we’d highly recommend the MACStack Mascara. This product went viral for good reason – it doesn’t clump, it’s lightweight and it gives your lashes that fuller look. The jet-black colour can make anyone’s lashes pop giving your eyes a much brighter look. The Mega Brush version is perfect for the bigger, longer lashes on your upper
lid, and the Micro Brush is perfect for adding a bit of drama to your lower lashes.

Mikayla Nogueira pioneered the trend, showing her followers the buildable mascara formula, and since then, so many other beauty gurus, such as Kelly Rose Sarno and Daniella Marcan, have joined the trend and gushed over the mascara, with their followers in the comments absolutely swooning over the product. The hashtag for the product (#macstackmascara) currently has over 270 million views – which is pretty impressive for a mascara.

Dyson Airwrap Multi-Styler

Now that our faces are looking all glowy and airbrushed, let’s sort out the hair situation. The Dyson Airwrap comes with several attachments to customise your hair styling. Let’s just ignore the hefty price tag for now, and discuss what we’re getting – a Coanda smoothing dryer, a 30mm barrel, a 40mm barrel, a soft smoothing brush, a firm smoothing brush and a round
volumising brush.

The product initially went viral for how unbelievably satisfying and effortless the styling process was. It uses a phenomenon called the Coanda Effect to automatically wrap the hair around the barrel while curling. It also doesn’t expose the hair to extreme heat, making it a lot less damaging to the hair than regular hair curlers and straighteners. Influencers like Sophie Murray have taken to their social platforms to show how they use their Dyson Airwrap, with these videos garnering hundreds of thousands of views.

The overwhelming demand for flawless complexions, strong nails, and hair-commercial-worthy locks have only increased with the rise of social media and the ever-growing microscope under which we scrutinize—and between hair masks, nail strengtheners, and rigorous skincare routines, there’s really nothing that we wouldn’t try in order to meet our ever-rising beauty standards. But with all our modern concoctions at hand, are we doing it right? Studies have shown that a meagre 20% of topical treatments address our outward appearance, while the other 80% is directly altered by what we consume and surround ourselves with—pollution, stress, unfiltered UV rays, and a marginally unhealthy modern diet. 

Now, assuming that many of us aren’t getting the required nutrients from diet alone, supplements are an excellent way to top up our vitamin intake and ensure that we’re running on optimum health. And we’re no strangers to the beauty multivitamin—in fact, studies have shown that we’re now investing more in supplements than in topical skin care—but in this oversaturated market, how do we identify the ones that actually work? And more importantly, how do we know which ones are right for us? 

Within the beauty community, buzzwords such as ‘collagen,’ ‘hyaluronic acid,’ and ‘retinol’ have been cropping up left, right, and centre, and we may know them from surface treatments but actually, the benefits go a lot deeper than that. With the right synergy of ingredients, we can boost the humble lone vitamin to new heights, improving our health in more ways than one.

Take collagen for example, the most abundant protein found in our bodies and responsible for giving our skin elasticity and volume—the literal building blocks and ‘glue’ that holds everything together. Although we naturally produce this clever amino acid, as we age, it depletes and lessens in quality, resulting in the appearance (and feeling) of aging. To naturally boost our collagen levels, dermatologists recommend a blend of vitamin C and MSM, short for methylsulfonylmethane; a natural form of organic sulfur and an essential component in the production of both collagen and keratin. With this blend, you can expect stressed skin to be calmed, whether that be acne, eczema, or psoriasis, and an improvement in skin elasticity for fine lines and wrinkles. 

Vitamin C and vitamin E also pack a punch in the anti-aging game, with the duo making for a powerful antioxidant that fights against free radicals caused by environmental aggressors, offering us protection against premature aging whilst repairing the damage that’s already been done. Because of this, Vitamin C has been dubbed the ‘glow’ vitamin and we can’t get enough of it. While chews and tablets are convenient, a powdered version may be easier on the stomach for those who need a calmer dosage.

While we’re on the subject of our tummies, let’s not forget about keeping our gut microflora in check with the help of probiotics, as an imbalance in gut bacteria can lead to loss of hydration, inflammation, and dullness—most often resulting in acne flare ups and premature aging.

Vitamin A has had our attention for a while now too. Most commonly known as retinol, it works by strengthening the protective function of the epidermis, stimulating cell turnover, and protecting our beloved collagen from depleting. Most celebrated for its acne fighting skills, vitamin A can be strengthened by the immune boosting zinc, a fast working mineral that efficiently heals wounds of the skin, including acne, while accelerating the healing process. 

Topical retinol may be too aggressive for some skin types, but the drinkable version is just as effective at replenishing the skin as the serum, with health experts recommending to start off with small doses of both zinc and vitamin A, but to avoid altogether when breastfeeding. 

Still having acne issues? Try upping your daily dosage of vitamin D, and we don’t mean by sizzling in the sun either. Slap on your SPF and head on over to your local GP to assess whether the dryness and acne flare-ups you’re experiencing is a vitamin deficiency. 

To further support hydration and the skin barrier function, omega 3 fatty acids will ensure that you’re hydrated from the inside out by releasing a wave of antioxidants and a myriad of amino acids into the system. Dermatologists rave about glutathione, composed of three amino acids—glutamine, glycine, and cysteine—praised most for aiding in hormonal balance and cell membrane support. To hone in on your hydration, a Vitamin B-complex may be what the doctor’s ordered—with eight variations of vitamin B included, you can expect a reduction in moisture loss, soothing of irritated skin, and an improvement in skin texture and tone.

Vitamin B3, also known as niacinamide, is especially skilled at reducing pore size, dark circles, and pigmentation, while vitamin B5, also known as pantothenic acid, expertly keeps skin smooth and soft. By adding iron into the mix, not only will your skin be thanking you, but through the promotion of keratin—an essential protein to combat brittle nails and hair loss—your hair and nails will be too.

However, before we all jump the gun and grab every beauty supplement under the sun, visit your local GP before introducing new supplements to your diet, check for any current deficiencies, and discuss any further recommendations based on your own personal healthcare needs. 

While your GP can point you in the right direction, when selecting your own supplements, find a reputable company that works only with 100% natural, quality ingredients that steer clear from fillers, binders, and artificial colours. We’re trusting the experts on this, and we hope you do too.

As the years have gone by, going blonde has been made considerably easier with breakthrough treatments transforming bleach-induced disasters. Today, luxury haircare brand Kérastase have launched an all-new complementing extension to their renowned Blond Absolu line called Cicaextreme, that promises post-bleached hair will be 95% stronger and 85% more hydrated. 

This post-procedure healing trio works to mix and match with other Blond Absolu treatments, offering a new level of customization to best suit your individual hair needs. You’ll find an ultra-moisturising post bleaching shampoo, an intensely restorative post bleaching hair mask, and an intense blonde strengthening oil to repair porous, dry, and frizzy hair.

Inspired by global skincare brands using the power-house ingredient known as ‘cica,’ the range has been bolstered with pollution fighting, moisture infusing, and anti-inflammatory properties to promote healing from the get-go. Additionally, low molecular Hyaluronic Acid aids this process by leaving locks healthy and 65% softer—no wonder model and actress Emily Ratajkowski supports them wholeheartedly, trading in her signature brunette for daring blonde.

Boris’ latest announcement has all had us feeling some kind of way. Frustration, anger, sadness or maybe even acceptance for some, 2021 hasn’t kicked off in quite the way we have hoped. Despite the current sitch, positivity is vital. And with positivity (and a fresh lockdown) comes hair. Or hair experimentation. We’re talking vintage throwbacks from LaQuan Smith and LRS, short bobs of all shapes and textures from Anna Sui and Brock, and an electric shock from Claudia Li that we simply can’t get enough of. 

Despite the difficult start to the New Year, we’re excited to welcome in a whole new era of inspirational styles that we’re certain will get some heads turning (and that you can easily try out when you’re bored at home with nothing else to do). Get ahead of the game by diving into our predictions for the hottest cuts, colours, and textures in the coming Spring/Summer 2021 seasons. 

1. 70s Updos

Ever since Ariana Grande blessed us with her stylishly retro 34+35 music video, we’ve seen a resurgence in glamorous vintage hairstyles—ranging all the way from the 60s beehive to this 70s high pony with a fringe twirl seen at LaQuan Smith. Achievable for any hair type, we really see this trend catching on in the months to come. 

2. 90s Grunge Waves

Grunge revival is back and here to stay, with LRS showcasing tangles of seemingly effortless waves and uneven layers that are only structured by a clean centre part—think Kurt Cobain meets Kate Moss circa 1992, both untamed, wild, and free.

3. Swooped Back

Simple, clean, and a breeze to achieve, the look at Marina Mascone was cool, calm, and collected with hair swooped back, surfer style. The ideal look for when we can finally hit the beaches again, or at the very least emulate with a healthy dose of sea-salt spray. 

4. Neon Buzz Cut at Claudia Li

Through the wash of natural hues and longer styles spotted this season, the neon turquoise buzz cut from Claudia Li stood out from a mile away in the best way possible—it’s exactly the electrifying jolt needed to bolster our creativity and boost our imagination.

5. Tucked In

There’s something oh-so chic and sophisticated about understated strands tucked below a collar, and that’s exactly what Overcoal is doing right now. Ideal for those with mid length cuts, we predict this easy to achieve style will become a staple within our hair wardrobes. 

6. Side Partings

Poker straight fringes and deep side partings were all the range at Anna Sui, coupled with a distinguished array of blunt cut bobs presented in angular formations—a blatant contrast to the whimsical collection but a welcome one, nonetheless. 

7. Natural Textures

Veronica Beard has never made embracing our natural hair more fashionable, with models flaunting soft, bouncy curls that cascade from shoulders—inspiring us to ditch the straighteners and box dyes in favour of the au naturale instead of the superficial. 

8. Choppy Bobs

Brock favoured cheeky chin-skimming blunt cut bobs this season and quite frankly, so do we. This windswept style is simply oozing ‘cool’ with an understated edge that comes from voluminous, well-kempt locks coupled with a relaxed tuck behind the ear.
