The season of platinum blonde may be nearing its end.
Actually, a stunning clean and bright blonde will always be in style – thanks Marilyn! – but judging from the recent appearances by celebrities, there’s a new hair colour to embrace right now.
Bronde – that perfectly blended mix of blonde and brunette – is returning to popularity, years after it left our lexicon, and our strands.
Particularly influential is the appearance of Suki Waterhouse, alongside boyfriend Robert Pattinson, at Dior’s fall 2023 menswear fashion show in Giza, Egypt.
Waterhouse’s softly tousled locks and sweeping bottleneck bangs shined a caramel mid-point between brunette and blonde with deeper roots.
Another big hair move of note? After going platinum in May for her appearance at the Met Gala, Kim Kardashian has made another update.
Kardashian stepped out in Miami for Art Basel with warm brunette woven through extra long blonde extensions, the first time she has worn an in-between Bronde hue in years.

According to L’Oreal Professionnel, Bronde is a colour technique that “fuses brown and blonde, to create a flattering, sun-kissed colour result.”
The haircare brand suggests bronde is ideally suited to warmer skin tones “to enhance natural colouring and it can be very complimentary as you get older”.
“With Bronde, blondes can enjoy an elegant colour result with added depth and dimension, whilst brunettes have their look lifted and illuminated. It’s a perfect way for brunettes to get a bit of blonde in their hair without going platinum.”
The hair brand suggests visiting a professional colourist where a transformation is likely to involve a number of steps to achieve the perfect colour. Hair may be coloured with a permanent or semi-permanent colour, before fine sections are lightened. These lightened pieces are expertly woven throughout your hair, often slightly concentrated around your face for a face-framing effect.
Or, highlights may be applied and roots deepened with a toner for a beautiful graduation of colour down your lengths.
