How To Get Your Dream Hair Colour
Platinum Blonde
Inspiration: Beyonce
“If your hair is naturally very dark you need to approach going very light as a process and be realistic about the outcome. Your colourist may recommend gradual highlighting, balayage or carefully controlled lightening sessions depending on your hair type. Be honest about your hair history and ask about bond building treatments because the health of the hair is paramount.” – Cetera Lamb
Warm Brunette
Inspiration: Daisy Edgar Jones
“It’s more difficult to describe brunettes because tonal shades like ‘espresso’ or ‘milk chocolate’ can mean different things to different people. I actually used six different colours to create Daisy’s look, which I’ve described as ‘strawberry brunette’ before because it has a warm undertone to it.” – Jacob Schwartz
Neutral Blonde
Inspiration: Jodie Comer
“For Jodie’s hair, I use foils and bleach to take it to a soft golden blonde. I also tip the ends for extra vibrancy. I’d say it’s neither warm nor cold, it’s a neutral tone.” – Nicola Clarke
Golden Blonde
Inspiration: Margot Robbie
“Margot’s colour is really bright and golden, but more on the cool side. It’s a combination of strategically placed highlights all over and I put a soft, demi-permanent gloss on the roots to take the edge off and boost the vibrancy. ” – Jacob
Rich Brunette
Inspiration: Kendall Jenner
“Ask for a rich, glossy chocolate brunette with depth and warmth, rather than just ‘dark brown’. Your colourist should tailor the tone depending on your skin tone and natural hair colour. Chocolate can range from a deeper, cooler brunette to a warmer more golden brown, so bringing a reference photo with you is really important.” – Cetera
Golden Strawberry Blonde
Inspiration: Grace Van Patten
“This warm and vibrant strawberry blonde is the perfect combination of a light brunette with a touch of gold – but not too copper. I used placed highlights throughout, then finished with a demi permanent colour to intensify the vibrance.” – Jacob
Honey Blonde
Inspiration: Bella Hadid
“I took Bella’s colour from dark brown to blonde for Cannes two years ago. I’d describe it as golden around the face and on the ends, but slightly cooler on the roots. If you want to achieve this look, you need time and patience: the process took 22 hours to achieve.” – Jacob
Dimensional Blonde
Inspiration: Miley Cyrus
“I did Miley’s hair for the Hannah Montana anniversary. We went for a warm blonde with a lot of dimension via dark and light contrasts. ” – Jacob
Sunkissed Blonde
Inspiration: Kate Moss
“With Kate, I frame the face with a lighter colour so it looks like it’s been lifted in the sun. I do this using foil highlights but it can also be achieved with balayage. If you want to copy any look, I’d say images are the best way to communicate with your colourist.” – Nicola
