Break out the champagne! This time of year is jam-packed with celebrations. Whether you’re headed to back-to-back weddings or a graduation ceremony, there are plenty of reasons to pour a cold glass of bubbly. If you’re looking to be the real life of the party, don’t just drink champagne—wear it! A bright blonde hue inspired by the celebratory beverage has been making its rounds on social media. That’s right—we’re talking about champagne blonde hair!
Interested in trying champagne blonde hair? Whether you’re starting with ash blonde strands or looking to make a drastic change from your dark brown hair, keep reading for everything you need to know about the bubbly color.
What is champagne blonde hair?
As you may have guessed, champagne blonde hair is inspired by the popular party beverage. To achieve champagne blonde hair, your colorist will create a soft, creamy hue with an emphasis on shine that resembles a sparkling glass of bubbly.
If you’re starting with a dark hair color and are hoping to go much lighter, your colorist will need to bleach your mane to lift your current hue before applying a champagne hair color. While bleach will always cause damage, your colorist will work to make sure your strands look and feel their best before you leave the salon.
How do you care for champagne blonde hair?
With any color change, you can expect to switch up your hair care routine a bit. Since every great maintenance routine starts with a salon-quality shampoo and conditioner. We recommend picking up a system formulated specifically for color-treated hair like the Redken Nature + Science Color Extend Shampoo and Conditioner. This system features a gentle non-stripping formula to enhance vibrancy on color-treated hair.
If your strands are feeling the damaging effects of bleach, a weekly hair mask is a must. We love the Redken All Soft Deep Conditioning Mega Mask. This two-in-one hair mask is both an intense conditioner and care extender designed specifically for dry, brittle hair.
To keep your champagne hair color looking its best, expect to head back to the salon every four to six weeks for touch-ups. If you’re a natural blonde, you may be able to stretch out the time between salon appointments a bit longer.
Are beige and champagne the same color?
Beige blonde and champagne both have intense shine—which is why so many people confuse the two shades. Beige is an ash blonde hue with sandy undertones while champagne can be worn super light or on the darker side depending on your skin tone.Is champagne blonde cool or warm?
Good question! While champagne blonde typically has golden undertones, your colorist can tailor the hue to be cool or warm depending on your desired final look.
