Rosalía is no stranger to shaking up her look! Recently, the Spanish pop star stepped out with a halo bleached onto her darker base, perfectly aligning with the aesthetic of her latest album. The silhouette of a halo has been strategically placed around the crown of her head to give the illusion that a halo is floating above – I’m in awe of this look for its sheer creativity and originality! The icy, cool tone blonde has been placed onto her darker, chocolate base, where the light naturally hits the hair, emphasising depth, dimension, and movement – making for a bold, striking look!
The halo hair trend is something which we’ve never really seen before, but I can guarantee that all the ‘It-Girls’ will be experimenting with looks like this in 2026. The world of hairdressing is going through an exciting transition. We’re beginning to see more and more clients stepping outside the box, shifting to creative colour – this is the crème de la crème for colourists!
As with any blonde transformation, there is a skilled colourist who has dedicated time to achieving the perfect shade of blonde – it’s both a science and an art form. There are hundreds of different factors that could affect the final product…and there are even more factors that could affect your client’s hair after they leave the salon. This means it’s essential to ensure your client knows how to take care of their blonde.
Of all the dreaded hair woes, brassiness is one of the many struggles of being a blonde! Unfortunately, over time most blondes do turn brassy, and it can happen for several reasons: the colour fading, oxidation from the sunlight, hard water, air exposure to minerals, and much more. I’d recommend that clients invest in a good-quality purple shampoo to keep their icy locks intact – I love the Goldwell Dualsenses Blonde Anti-Blonde Shampoo. I’d also recommend using a hydrating masque to ensure that blondes stay bright, beautiful, and hydrated! Goldwell Dualsenses Rich Repair 60 sec treatment is the key to achieving beautifully nourished hair every time!
