12. Bronde colour melt

Ombre and balayage hair is evolving yet again, coming in hot this time with a more diffused look called colour-melting or ‘flamboyage’. This process incorporates elements of both balayage and ombre techniques to give the hair more depth and a natural-yet-polished finish.

We particularly love how this blondie’s mane starts off a rich chocolate brown at roots, that then melts into a mesmerising dark honey-toned hue. Sign us up! Credit: @colourmemimi

13. Reverse ombre

Lucky enough to already have dark blonde hair? Well, if you’re desperate to change up your look, why not give reverse ombre a whirl? Not sure what it is? It works as the name suggests, by reversing the colours used in your ombre look.

As you can see, this Instagrammer’s mane gently fades from dirty blonde, into a creamy, nude blonde hue, resulting in a discreet look that’s got all the styling impact of brighter and bolder hues. Credit: @glowthehairspecialist

Editor’s tip: If you’re tempted to give dark blonde hair a whirl, remember to use a wash and care system specifically formulated for dyed blonde hair. We’re currently fawning over the Toni&Guy Illuminate Blonde Shampoo and Conditioner, as it helps hair look frizz-free, all while helping maintain your hue’s vibrancy.
