Apricot blonde is having a moment, with searches on Google up 60 per cent in the last month. A peach-toned blonde, it bridges the line between redhead and classic blonde – think classic strawberry blonde but with a rich, burnished red twist.
 
A fun way to shake up lighter hair, it’s a warm look works that works on all skin tones and hair types, plus it can be worn impactfully and intensely, or softer, depending on your aesthetic and preference.
 
If you’re already light-haired, the colour switch is relatively easy – all you need is a peachy toner applied, which is quick and easy in the salon. However, those with darker locks will need to have their hair bleached first to ensure the colour is right – that requires a lot more commitment, but if you’re in an experimental mood, the world of semi-permanent tints, including apricot, are at your disposal.
 
A cute way to celebrate the summer and have some fun with your hair, apricot blonde looks great on most people – why not give it a try?
