We love a blond moment in summer, but bright, platinum strands can mean damage and require some serious dedication. Perhaps that’s why Brookie Blonde is gathering support as the low-maintenance hair color celebrities like Beyoncé, Joey King, and Rita Ora are loving.
The latest celebrity to jump onboard is Emilia Clarke—who debuted the new, brighter color while attending the F1 on July 9. “Emilia normally has really subtle balayage lights almost as if the sun hits the hair and gives a kissed look,” Nicola Clarke, her hair colorist, explained. “This time Emilia asked if we could go a lot blonder but without the worry of grow-out, so I bumped up the lights and tipped the ends blonder so it made her hair look much blonder but without the huge commitment of having a big regrowth.”
Clarke continued: “I also wanted it to be blond but the honey hue caramel works really beautifully on her hair and it’s really flattering on her skin tone. As for a trend we always tend to want to go lighter in the summer.”
So, what exactly is Brookie Blonde? We’ve got everything you need to know below.
