There’s butter blonde, sandy blonde, ice blonde, and ashy blonde. However nothing fairly hits the spot for summer time like a crisp, bubbly-glass-of-Dom-Perignon blonde. “This shade lives in that area between heat and funky—think about a glass of chilled champagne catching the sunshine,” says Los Angeles-based hairstylist Clariss Anya Rubenstein. “It’s a creamy blonde with hints of gold and beige woven via. By no means icy, by no means brassy.” Take Kate Hudson or Sarah Pidgeon’s blonde in FX’s Love Story, for instance.
“Ask for a gentle champagne blonde that’s blended, dimensional, and shiny—however nothing stripy or overly shiny,” provides Christine Bellmare, a Boston-based hairstylist. The gloss can be key for catching the sunshine and giving it that glimmery effervescence you catch in your champagne flute.

Not everybody loves the seaside. Summer time, for some, is the right excuse to sip icy soiled martinis on a metropolis rooftop. For the extra city set, a lived-in suede brunette pairs properly with a heat, breezy New York night time and further olives. “There’s a transparent shift towards tones that really feel easy and understated moderately than daring or high-maintenance,” says Bellemare. “For brunettes, that interprets to softer, extra muted shades that also really feel wealthy and polished.”
