Bella Hadid Is Honey Blonde! See the Hair Colour Set to Inspire 1000 Salon Appointments
I think this shade is going to be popular this season.


Bella Hadid's signature hair colour is espresso brown. It's glossy and expensive looking, and usually, we'd say if it's not broke, don't fix it. However, we've decided to embrace change after seeing her surprising new honey-blonde look because—spoiler alert—it's good enough to be our new summer hair inspo.
Hadid debuted her new hair colour upon arriving at the Hotel Martinez in Cannes, France, ahead of the famous film festival. Her trendy "bronde" hair color (ICYMI, that's a combo of brown and blonde) is giving quiet luxury and summer in the South of France in the best way. We expect it to inspire 1000 salon appointments, including our own. Yep, it's official. We have a new summer hair colour trend on our hands.

Hadid's New Honey-Blonde Hair Colour
Hadid arrived in France to attend the 78th annual Cannes Film Festival, which is taking place May 13 24. The Cannes red carpet is known for inspiring fashion and beauty risks, so we think she chose the perfect time to debut a summer hair colour.
Jacob Schwartz, colourist and OLAPLEX Ambassador, was the expert behind her colour transformation. "Bella attends Cannes every year, so it was the perfect moment to do something major," he said in a press release. "Going from a brunette to a blonde is major. Bella is a natural blonde, so sourcing photos of her as a child was a great reference. Using those images and her skin tone led us to this epic, luxurious honey hue. It took two days of colour and a whole lot of Olaplex. The long and dramatic chemical process really depended on her having faith that her hair could withstand it and come out as beautiful as it did."
