Lived-In Blonde: Why We’re Loving It
There are so many reasons to embrace this stunning blonde trend. Here’s why it’s a favourite this season:
It's Versatile
Lived-in blonde works with a wide range of tones – from cool ash and icy platinum to warm honey and caramel hues. Whether you prefer a brighter or softer finish, our colour specialists will tailor the shade to suit your complexion, hair type, and personal style.
It's Kinder to Your Hair
Because the colour isn’t applied right up to the roots, there’s less exposure to bleach – which means less chemical damage overall. It’s a more gentle colouring process and, even better, it’s low maintenance. Regrowth is far less noticeable, so you won’t need to visit the salon as frequently for top-ups.
It's Flattering for All Hair Lengths
While lived-in blonde is often seen on longer hair (and it does look gorgeous on flowing locks), it also works brilliantly on shorter styles, such as long bobs (lobs) and layered cuts. When you book your consultation, don’t forget to bring along any inspiration images – our stylists strive to help you reach your hair goals.
Customise Your Colour
Lived-in blonde isn’t a one-size-fits-all colour, it is customised to you to perfectly suit your hairstyle and natural hair tones. At Shape Hair Design, we tailor every lived-in blonde look to ensure it feels effortlessly you.
Want to brighten your face and add instant radiance? Face-framing highlights or a soft blonde “money piece” can add that fresh, sunlit glow right where it counts. For those who want to fully embrace the lived in look, a rooted blonde is the perfect choice, keeping the roots slightly deeper helps your colour grow out naturally, with a soft transition into lighter ends.
Prefer a softer blend? A shadow root technique can add subtle depth at the base, blurring the line between your natural colour and the blonde tones for a seamless, sun-kissed fade. From barely-there blonde accents to bold, dimensional blends, your stylist will work with you to craft a colour that enhances your natural beauty while staying true to your vibe.
The beauty of lived-in blonde? It’s completely customisable, endlessly flattering, and designed to grow out with grace.
