Barbiemania Brings A Blonde Hair Trend

With summer in full swing and the Barbie movie on the big screen, it’s the perfect time to follow the lead of Margot Robbie (aka Barbie!) and go Barbie blonde. This hair color is hot right now – and for good reason! The new Barbie blonde hue isn’t just about going platinum. The updated look incorporates pale gold and neutral tones, making it extremely easy for all skin tones to wear. 

Bright Barbie blonde is a hair trend anyone can try. And summer is the perfect time. Truly, who needs a dream house when you can have dreamy hair? Barbie’s famous bleached-but-buttery blonde hair is achievable. Plus, you can achieve Barbie-level blonde without damaging your tresses. The goal is to make your hair look as if it were spun from gold. 

The first step is to do an all-over, high-lift color to create that buttery-blonde vibe. Next up are foil highlights to create pops of extra-light blonde. This is where you are in the driver’s seat of that pink convertible: the number of highlights added is your call. How dimensional and Barbie-esque do you want to be? 

Once you’ve become a blonde bombshell, it’s time to care for your new glamorous look. My best advice for maintaining the health of your new, buttery-blonde hue is to use Olaplex. Their products will keep your hair strong, healthy, and shiny. At deZEN, we carry the full Olaplex line. Your stylist will determine which products are best for your locks. 

Keep in mind, Barbie blonde is not a low-maintenance color. I mean, how could anything Barbie-related be low maintenance? So, in order to maintain the perfect hue, you will need to have your roots touched up every four to six weeks, depending on how quickly your hair grows. Yes, this Barbiecore look is a commitment, but giving your hair a switch-up could spice up your life. Maybe it’s time to find out if blondes really do have more fun?

Lastly, if you are ready to go all in and fully embrace your inner Barbie, then check out the Kitsch official Barbie line we carry in the salon. You’ll find pink satin pillowcases, on-trend hair accessories, and so much more. So even if you aren’t ready to dive off the deep end into the iconic blonde hue, you can have fun with this sunny lineup of beauty accessories that serves up those made-in-Malibu vibes. We all deserve to live the dream life.
