Hair trends come and go, but if blonde has always been your signature style there are a few ways to upgrade your look this season. Below, we’re detailing some of the top blonde hair trends of 2022 and the best products to keep your shade looking its best.
2022's Top Blonde Hair Trends
Old Hollywood Blonde
While platinum blondes will always be in style, this season opt for a softer, warmer version of this classic with Old Hollywood Blonde. Think classic bottle blondes of the 1950s, the shade has a touch of gold, bordering on yellow that reminds us of Hollywood’s leading ladies.
The look can be created on pre-lightened hair by adding a touch of gold or yellow to the final gloss. For best upkeep, use a color-safe shampoo and conditioner, but avoid anything purple pigmented as this will neutralize the iconic yellow shade you’re after.

Golden Hour Blonde
A term coined by photographers to describe the hour before and after sunset when light is at its dreamiest. Golden Hour blonde is a modern take on a sun kissed shade with even more warmth.
It can be created with balayage for a lived-in look or created on previously lightened hair with a gloss application. This tone borders on bronde and has a mix of neutral golds to add warmth without brassiness and a lit-from-within glow.
Product suggestions: Wella Professionals ColorMotion+ Shampoo & Conditioner
Mushroom Blonde
We’ve seen this shade in seasons past but as we head into fall, this color is ideal for skin tones that favor a cooler finish. Mushroom blonde has a slightly earthy, bordering on ashy undertone. It has more depth than platinum but falls within the same cool family.
Hair should be pre-lightened with highlights or balayage before applying a cool, ashy shade. Depending on the undertones, you may want to add titanium, grey, violet or silver to your gloss formula for a flawless finish. Purple shampoo and conditioner is the ideal way to treat and maintain this shade.
