Kate Middleton’s New Hair Color Sparks 1100% Surge in Salon Requests

Sunny days often mean lighter hair, whether due to the sun’s rays, sea water, or pool water. However, Kate Middleton seems to have nailed the ideal hair color for capturing that summer look perfectly, especially for brunettes. It might even become the trendiest hue of the season. According to British media outlet Cosmopolitan, searches for this technique have surged by 1100% in the past three months—an impressive number that matches the excitement!

At the Wimbledon tennis tournament finals, the Princess of Wales arrived to present the trophy to the winner. Beyond her stunning green dress, another detail caught the attention of her fans: her slightly lightened hair with strands of golden highlights. True to her natural elegance, Kate Middleton demonstrates that it’s possible to embrace summer highlights without compromising her natural base. The name of this color? The golden hour brunette, obviously referring to the golden hour, that time just before sunset when the natural light is exceptionally soft and warm. This involves a rich brunette base, infused with honey caramel touches and amber golden strands that catch the light just right. It offers all the warmth of the sun without needing a single ray.

However, the desire to lighten brunette hair with the arrival of summer is common, but traditional bleaching can damage the cuticle, causing hair to lose its natural “mirror” shine. That’s why experts recommend the golden hour brunette with a technique using balayage or foilyage that blends deep brown tones with very soft blonde strands. This interplay of colors provides a sun-kissed effect and intense shine, which only needs to be maintained at home with hydrating treatments and light toners.

It’s also advised to limit the use of heat styling tools to avoid brassy tones and preserve the hair fiber. These are the secrets to keeping your hair impeccable all summer long!
