What To Ask For: Champagne blonde highlights on a natural base or beige base color

   Not long ago, cool-toned, ashy highlights were all the rage, but slowly things have gotten a lot warmer. This look is right in the middle: A Champagne blonde that’s “more on the neutral or beige spectrum than ashy or gold,” Kimberly points out. It’s this small shift in tone that makes classic highlights feel fresh and modern. “This color is good for someone who is a natural dark blond or light brunette,” she says. “Ask to be lightened up all over with a beige tone, but still leave some of your natural color in between to add dimension.” Prefer all over color? That works, too, just make sure your colorist picks a neutral tone — nothing too ashy or golden.

Upkeep: Book a partial highlight every three months to keep the color fresh, then a full set once or twice a year. You can also keep things fresh and shiny with a gloss treatment every six weeks or so.
