Heading into the warmer months, blonde will be back in a big way. And while the traditional lighter and brighter trends have always been popular during summer, this season, the most sought-after shades are standing out because they’re also soft, sophisticated, and completely personalized.
Whether you're looking for a cool tone, a creamy vanilla, or the perfect icy platinum, the blonde of the moment is dimensional, shiny and healthy, and made possible by a few must-haves in the salon. Starting with an acidic toner like Aloxxi Liquid Acidic Toners and finishing with the right at-home care.
We’re diving into how to get the season’s top blonde shades and how to keep them looking fresh all summer long.
It All Starts in the Salon
The real magic behind this summer’s blonde trends starts in the salon with Aloxxi Liquid Acidic Toners. The new go-to for stylists who want to deliver blondes without compromising the health of the hair—they lock in soft pastel tones, smooth the cuticle, and restore hydration after lightening for a flawless finish.
From icy blondes to golden beiges, stylists are using personalized shades with Liquid Acidic Toners to create your perfect tone.
The Buzziest Blonde Looks of the Season
1. Dreamy Pastels
Think soft lilacs, sheer golds, and hints of silver — these are the shades that are everywhere right now, and the secret to pulling them off is keeping them fresh, which means combating brass with the ideal toner for a cool finish.
2. Lived-In, Healthy Blonde
This shade is all about enhancing dimension and shine with a natural, effortless tone. For best results, concentrate on enhancing your look with a glass-like finish to make it feel expensive and low-maintenance (even if it’s not actually low-maintenance).
3. Cool-Tones
Icy blondes are everywhere right now, but for best results, you need hair that’s exceptionally healthy. That’s why Liquid Acidic Toners are such a must-have— because they’re a Tonal Wellness Treatment that tones, hydrates, and protects your strands.
How to Keep Your Blonde Beautiful Between Appointments
While regular toning appointments are key to keeping your colour, so is a great homecare routine.
Step 1: Swap for a Violet Shampoo
Keep brassiness at bay by utilizing Aloxxi Violet Shampoo as needed. This highly pigmented shampoo neutralizes warmth while gently cleansing and hydrating your hair for a cool, neutral finish, which is ideal if your blonde is bordering on platinum or silver.
Step 2: Refresh with INSTABOOST
Adding a colour-refreshing mask to the mix is a great way to extend the life of your colour between appointments, and INSTABOOST has a wide range of tones to choose from with their INSTABOOST nourishing colour masques that will tone and condition your hair in mere minutes.
You should always work with your stylist to find your perfect match, but these are great cool-toned options for blondes.
-
ULTIMATE PLATINUM: Perfectly icy for freshly toned platinum blondes.
-
STRICTLY PLATINUM: A slightly softer, cool tone for beige or silver blondes.
-
SILVER FOX: Ideal for grey blending or boosting cool, silver tones.
Use INSTABOOST weekly (or as often as needed) in place of your conditioner to enhance your tone and deliver hydrated, shiny hair. The more you use it, the more intense the colour, so you can enhance your colour to create your ideal tone.
Why You’ll Love Liquid Acidic Toners
Lightening can often leave hair in a sensitized state, which is why adding a toning treatment that looks after the health of the hair as much as the colour is essential. As a Tonal Wellness Treatment, Liquid Acidic Toners are designed to tone, hydrate, and protect all at once to enhance colour from application to styling, making them an ideal choice for all clients this season.
