Here’s Why We Love It
Remember when TikTok declared blonde hair as cheugy? Even though we can’t believe everything we see on the internet, 2022 has undoubtedly brought a wave of clients experimenting with darker tones. From “expensive brunette” to a range of red hues, routine blonde clients are looking to add depth and dimension back into their hair.
What Celebrity Trend Experts Are Saying
“As far as tones, 2022 is wrapped in warmth [like] copper-toned blondes,” said celeb stylist Adir Abergel (@hairbyadir). According to BTC’s 2022 Hair Trend Report Olivia Rodrigo’s hairstylist Clayton Hawkins (@claytonhawkins) predicts warm reds, auburns and oranges. “I love a dark auburn or copper tone for the winter months,” added Sally Hershberger (@sallyhershberger). Check out the trendy shades below!
