As spring approaches and temperatures rise, it’s time to refresh not just our wardrobes but our hair too. After months of embracing cooler, more icy hair shades to match the winter chill, the warmer weather calls for something lighter and sunnier. Enter butter biscuit blonde—the ultimate hair color update for spring.
This delectable hue is gaining attention for its warm yet natural tone, making it suitable for all skin tones. While the UK’s unpredictable weather often keeps darker, autumnal shades in rotation, lighter and lived-in tones are now taking center stage. Butter biscuit blonde is the perfect transition, bringing warmth to the hair while maintaining a soft, sun-kissed glow.
What Exactly Is Butter Biscuit Blonde?
Imagine a biscuit, rich and buttery, with golden flecks speckled throughout. That’s the essence of butter biscuit blonde. This stunning color blends gold with warm, dimensional tones for a sophisticated, effortlessly chic look. Layla Smith, KEVIN.MURPHY Educator, describes it as “a mouthwatering transition season shade to indulge in,” highlighting its seamless fusion of warm shades and slightly darker roots that promise an easy, low-maintenance grow-out process.
Celebrity hairstylist Natasa Brajović, from Andrew Jose, describes the color as a perfect mix between light honey blonde and soft caramel blonde, creating a gentle, sun-kissed effect. It’s deeper and more natural-looking than cooler, platinum blondes, with just the right balance of warm and neutral undertones.
How to Achieve Butter Biscuit Blonde
Achieving this hue is no simple feat, but it’s well worth it for the flawless, radiant finish. According to Natasa, skilled colorists often use a mix of balayage, babylights, and face-framing highlights to create this multidimensional blonde. The process begins with a deeper root shade, layering in honey-beige tones to ensure a natural, sunlit result. The beauty of this color lies in its gradual grow-out, meaning it’s easier to maintain than brighter platinum or icy shades.
Butter biscuit blonde has become a favorite among celebrities, with stars like Nicole Kidman, Beyoncé, and Amanda Seyfried embracing the warm, lived-in style. Natasa believes its rise in popularity is due to its richness, which adds depth and warmth without being too brassy, offering a polished yet natural appearance.
Maintaining Butter Biscuit Blonde
One of the key advantages of butter biscuit blonde is that it’s less reliant on bleach, which helps preserve hair health. However, to maximize the vibrancy and shine of this color, there are steps you can take to enhance its look and maintain its glow. K18 Hair’s in-salon Repair Service is an excellent option to fortify hair before and after the color application process. Heather King, K18 Hair ambassador and award-winning stylist, suggests using K18’s Leave-In Molecular Repair Mask once a week at home to maintain your hair’s health and shine post-treatment. Additionally, K18’s nourishing oil works wonders on the ends of color-treated hair.
With its warm tones and low-maintenance upkeep, butter biscuit blonde is the spring hair trend that will add radiance to your locks all season long.
