There’s no denying that bleach blonde hair hair is a summer trend staple, but when the temperature drops, its upkeep can feel like a chore – especially when strands become dry and brittle. The solution? Enter warmer bronde shades like caramel, almond and mocha mousse. Taking centre stage, the hues offer a sophisticated, on-trend alternative that’s far more manageable.

Take beauty brand founder and model Hailey Bieber as the ultimate inspiration. Last week, the mum-of-one debuted her fresh, face-framing 'toasted almond' midlights, proving that winter doesn’t have to mean ditching blonde altogether.

Bieber’s hair colourist, Matt Rez, showcased the updated look on Instagram, captioning the post “lighter for @haileybieber” and tagging it with #sunkissedhair, #midlights, and #healthyhair.

The shift to these soft, multidimensional hues marks an evolution for the Rhode founder, who has been gradually brightening her chocolate brown locks since September. Her bronde transformation started with subtle highlights and has now culminated in these mid-toned blonde hues that don't wash out her complexion. It's also not gone unnoticed that her bob era seems to be over too, as her tousled strands are pictured falling past her shoulders.

For those hesitant to embrace lighter hair in winter, Hailey’s new look is a timely reminder: blonde is still an option during the colder months—just remember to keep the tones warm and understated.

Coincidentally, Bieber’s toasted almond hues align perfectly with Pantone’s newly announced 2025 Colour of the Year: Mocha Mousse. The rich, neutral shade feels strikingly similar. So, is Hailey spearheading one of 2025’s biggest hair trends? Judging by the 2 million likes on her latest post, I'd say so.
