The colour works beautifully on medium to dark hair bases and is perfect for clients who want to add warmth and depth without going fully red.

Colour Formula

To achieve this look, combine rich brunette tones with red undertones to create depth and shine.

Maintenance

To keep this colour looking vibrant, use a colour-safe shampoo and conditioner, and consider using a weekly colour-depositing treatment to maintain the richness of the red tones.

Butter Blonde: The Creamy Blonde Trend ✨

Butter Blonde is one of the most requested blonde shades right now. It’s a soft, creamy blonde that sits between cool platinum and warm golden tones, creating a bright yet natural look. The colour features slightly deeper roots that melt into glossy, pale blonde lengths for a smooth, dimensional finish.

This look was created using L'Oréal Professionnel products and the formula shared by colourist Tiffany Matteo Capelli.

Colour Formula

Roots: L'Oréal Professionnel Dia Light 9

Ends: ½ L'Oréal Professionnel Dia Light 10.02 + ½ L'Oréal Professionnel Dia Light Clear with 9 vol developer

Application Tips

Lift the hair to a level 9–10 pale yellow before toning for the best creamy result. Keep the root slightly deeper to create a natural blend and dimension.

Haircare Tips

Maintain butter blonde with a purple or blonde shampoo, regular hydrating masks, and heat protection when styling to keep the colour glossy and brass-free. Products such as L'Oréal Professionnel Vitamino Colour, L'Oréal Metal Detox, or OSMO Super Silver are great options for keeping blonde tones bright and healthy.

This glowing copper shade was created by The Hair Company Sheffield using colour from Wella Professionals.

To keep copper tones looking vibrant and glossy, use colour-safe shampoos and nourishing treatments designed for coloured hair. Hydrating masks and heat protection products will also help maintain shine and prevent fading.
