Brian “Leo” McCallum, Owner and Colour Director of ROAR Hair & Beauty, presents his visionary Spring Colour Trends, embracing warmth, dimension, and natural luminosity. Furthermore, these shades reflect evolving client preferences, highlighting the artistry and technical skill of colourists. Achieving these multi-tonal looks requires precise colour placement and careful tone management. Clients must prioritize gloss treatments and hydration-focused aftercare to maintain vibrancy and health.

SUNFLOWER BLONDE: A Golden Vision

Sunflower Blonde, showcased by Sabrina Carpenter, brings a fresh, sunlit glow to blonde hair, offering a richer, warmer alternative to icy platinums. This shade features soft honey, buttery highlights, as well as caramel lowlights, creating a multi-dimensional, glowing effect. Achieving this look begins with a warm, golden base, where delicate caramel lowlights add depth and dimension, creating a natural, sun-kissed finish. Carefully placed highlights enhance the golden glow, ensuring the overall warmth is not overpowered.

Maintaining Sunflower Blonde’s Radiant Shine

Regular gloss treatments, every four to six weeks, maintain the colour’s freshness and prevent unwanted brassiness from occurring. Sulfate-free products and hydrating treatments ensure a long-lasting, golden-hour glow for clients to enjoy. Indeed, this shade offers a touch of nostalgia, reminiscent of early 2000s icons, while remaining modern and stylish. Sunflower Blonde is poised to be a top choice for blonde lovers this spring, offering a radiant and low-maintenance option.

TEDDY BEAR BRONDE: The Perfect Blend

Teddy Bear Bronde offers the ultimate middle ground for clients seeking a shade that seamlessly blends blonde and brunette tones. Recently seen on Sydney Sweeney, this creamy, light brunette hue with honey-blonde highlights provides the best of both worlds. The result is a soft, understated tone that feels effortlessly natural as well as incredibly flattering for many clients. The versatility of Teddy Bear Bronde stems from its lack of harsh contrast, ensuring tones blend seamlessly. A root drag offers a fantastic low-maintenance option, matching roots to their natural shade for a softer grow-out. The colour evolves beautifully between salon visits, offering a personalised as well as an adaptable look.

Personalisation and Maintenance

The personalised nature of Teddy Bear Bronde makes it a client favourite, as face-framing pieces add brightness. Subtle honey and golden ribbons give a luminous, sunlit glow, enhancing the overall effect. This shade offers the perfect compromise for brunettes considering a gentle lift or blondes transitioning naturally. Maintaining the creamy, soft tone requires hydration, with weekly moisturising treatments keeping the colour glossy and reflective. Professional gloss treatments enhance shine and ensure colour vibrancy, keeping the look fresh. Teddy Bear Bronde brings a softness that works across a variety of skin tones, offering a relaxed and natural blend. Expect this shade to become a go-to for clients wanting a relaxed blonde-brunette blend that still turns heads.

ALMOND MILK BLONDE: Modern Hollywood Glamour

Almond Milk Blonde emerges as a sought-after spring shade, inspired by Lindsay Lohan’s recent transformation. Lohan embraced soft, creamy platinum with cool, ashy undertones, capturing old Hollywood glamour with a modern twist. The shade’s balance between richness and coolness sets it apart, offering a unique and sophisticated look. An intricate colour melt blends creamy blonde highlights with ashy lowlights and a soft shadow root. Moreover, the result is a dimensional, natural-looking shade, avoiding the harshness that can sometimes be associated with traditional platinum blonde. Cool tones offer a fresh take on blonde, remaining warm enough to flatter various skin tones.

Achieving and Maintaining the Delicate Tones

Achieving Almond Milk Blonde requires precise application of highlights and lowlights, ensuring a seamless melt from root to tip. An ashy shadow root adds depth and a soft grow-out, enhancing the natural look of the colour. Precision maintains the delicate balance between light and dark, creating the illusion of healthy, sun-kissed hair. Toning treatments preserve the cool tones and prevent brassiness, maintaining the shade’s integrity. Sulphate-free shampoos and leave-in treatments maintain moisture without compromising tone, ensuring long-lasting vibrancy. Almond Milk Blonde offers a statement-making transformation or refresh, perfect for clients seeking a bold as well as natural change. This shade is set to be a dominant spring trend, offering a modern and glamorous look.
