We’re officially waving goodbye to winter , which means we’re welcoming the spring/summer season and the brand new hair colour trends that it’s about to welcome.
This year, those trends are more wearable than ever, with a huge push on tones that prioritise hair health and work with the existing colour you have – something celebrity hair colourist and salon owner Samantha Cusick is delighted to report. “At our salons, we’re all about subtle boosts of colour and highlights that tweak and subtly enhance your natural look,” she explains.
So what can we expect to see on the colour menu at our salons, then? The hair pro, who has welcomed the likes of Love Island stars Samie Elishi and Cheyanne Kerr as well as Lila Moss and Megan McKenna into her salons, says there are plenty of flattering hues to suit brunettes, blondes and redheads… Bali blonde “Many of us, especially blondes and lighter-toned brunettes, like to brighten up our look as we come out of the doom and gloom of winter. Lighter evenings and brighter days mean people want a fresher colour, and the tone we’re going to be seeing most of is a creamy neutral,” Samantha explains. “A Bali blonde is punchy enough to offer that brightness but also not particularly ashy. It’s sun-kissed and fresh.
Expensive brunette “Just because we’re going into winter doesn’t mean dark hair doesn’t have a place. Summer will see brunettes go more multi-tonal, ensuring the colour isn’t flat. By adding even one or two shades of colour difference for dimension and movement, brown hair can get an expensive, glossy finish. This dimension works particularly well with the shorter bob haircuts we’re currently seeing all over social media," Samantha notes.
