The color: Bronde Embers
Celebrity inspiration: Lily James
Description: This is the latest evolution of the bronde (mix of brown and blonde) trend that has been around for about a year. According to George Papanikolas, who's styled the manes of everyone from Kim Kardashian to Gigi Hadid, "If you have very dark hair, you will want to lighten your base color one to two shades first." Once you have the right base color, "Ask for balayage highlights that are hand painted on the hair." If you're looking for a universally flattering style, Papanikolas suggested to opt for "delicate highlights at the root and face frame" that "gradually get thicker and heavier toward the ends."
Who it works for: This is a great option for brunettes who want to go lighter or blondes who want to go darker. This is especially true for those with more olive complexions, said Papanikolas, as it "won't look too harsh."
