Summer 2026 Beauty Trends: Why We Are Finally Skipping "Anti-Aging"

If you colour your hair, you will love this one. The high-maintenance, perfectly highlighted blonde is taking a back seat to what stylists are calling "British Blonde" (3). It is a softer, more effortless look characterised by slightly grown-out roots and blended tones.

It is nostalgic, flattering, and incredibly low-maintenance. It looks like you just spent a month in the sun, rather than three hours in a salon chair.

And then there is the grey conversation. More and more women are choosing to embrace their silvers — and honestly, it has never looked more beautiful or more intentional than it does right now. Going fully grey is a powerful, gorgeous choice. But if you are not quite there yet, or simply love a little colour, there is a middle path that I personally adore: baby highlights. Fine, delicate highlights placed to blend your natural silvers into the rest of your hair create the most luminous, dimensional result. It does not fight your grey — it works with it, making the whole thing look like it was designed that way. Because it was.

The AndBloom approach: Ask your colourist for a lived-in look, or for baby highlights that blend your silvers beautifully. It is softer around the face, much kinder to your hair, and saves you a fortune in touch-up appointments. Whether you go full silver or blend it in gradually, own it completely.
