Warm Up with a Blonde Roast Hair Color this Winter

We’re all about trying the latest hair color trends—especially when that hair color happens to be inspired by a cup of coffee. Seriously, we still can’t get over cold brew hair. The latest caffeine-infused trend? Blonde roast hair. This blonde hair color is perfect for ladies who are on the hunt for a low-maintenance blonde hair color option. Keep reading for everything you need to know about the trend.

WHAT IS BLONDE ROAST HAIR?

Blonde roast hair is, as you may have imagined, inspired by the coffee that is its namesake. It’s a beautiful bronde hair color that expertly blends brunette and blonde shades into a seamless cool-toned color. Rather than solely having brown at the roots, this bronde hair color intertwines the brown and blonde tones down the length of your locks for a color that’s full of natural-looking dimension.

HOW TO GET BLONDE ROAST HAIR

Want to get this gorgeous bronde hair color? Of course you do! This hair color involves the balayage highlighting technique—which means your strands will be hand painted and expertly placed—so it may be best to leave this to a professional colorist. If you do want to DIY this hair color, keep in mind that you’ll need to use a hair color bleach to lighten your strands. We recommend the L’Oréal Paris Colorista Bleach.

HOW TO TAKE CARE OF BLONDE ROAST HAIR

Once you have your gorgeous new hair color, you’ll want to switch out your usual hair care products for a shampoo, conditioner, and hair treatment that are formulated for color-treated hair. Try the L’Oréal Paris EverPure Repair & Defend Shampoo, L’Oréal Paris EverPure Repair and Defend Conditioner, and L’Oréal Paris EverPure Repair Remedy Balm.

If you want to keep your blonde strands looking their best and brass-free, you may want to opt for a line that’s formulated for blonde hair, like the L’Oréal Paris EverPure Blonde Shampoo, L’Oréal Paris EverPure Blonde Conditioner, and L’Oréal Paris EverPure Blonde Shade Reviving Treatment.

HOW TO STYLE BLONDE ROAST HAIR

What’s better than rocking a fun new hair color? Sporting a fun new hairstyle to show it off! Lucky for you, there are so many hairstyles that can be used to showcase this dimensional color. Here are a few of our favorites for you to try:

Hairstyle idea #1: Loose waves

When it comes to highlighted hair, loose waves are hard to beat in terms of capturing the color's full beauty. To get the look, curl your hair with a wide barrel curling iron—and don’t forget to spray your mane with heat protectant beforehand. Then, gently comb your curls using a wide-tooth comb for a loose, carefree style.

If you’d rather skip the heat, use the L’Oréal Paris Advanced Hairstyle AIR DRY IT Wave Swept Spray. Simply spritz it onto towel-dried hair, braid, and allow your hair to air dry. When you take your braid out you’ll be left with effortless waves!

Hairstyle idea #2: Fishtail braid

Want to keep your mane off your face? A fishtail braid will beautifully highlight your highlights (get it?) while getting your hair out of the way.

Sleek, straight strands are always a great way to show off a dimensional color—and glass hair is a seriously gorgeous hair trend that just so happens to be centered around straight, glossy locks. The high-shine style will have your ‘do on full display. Even better, it’s super easy to get the look. Check out our article, How to Get Glass Hair, for the inside scoop on this trendy hairstyle.
