"Enter "candlelit blonde." Hailey Bieber, Ariana Grande, and Gigi Hadid have all been spotted wearing the diffused, sun-washed shade, and it's easy to see why. "It's the move toward warmth and softness," says Redken artistic ambassador Philip Foresto. "People don't want harsh or overly filtered blondes anymore - they want hair that feels natural, touchable, and full of light.""
"The look aligns with the broader shift toward effortless, lived-in color, adds celebrity colorist and hairstylist Kelly Novobielski. Gone are the days of rigid four to six-week highlight touchups - clients are now stretching their appointments to just one to three times a year. Longevity is key, and the subtle transitions of candlelit blonde create a seamless grow-out that helps the color last far longer between salon visits."
"As hairstylist and colorist Taylor Carter explains, candlelit blonde is a luminous look that evokes the warmth and radiance of candlelight. "It's bright yet diffused, with a glow that feels natural, flattering, and effortlessly chic," she tells Bustle. Simply put, "It's a blonde that glows," adds Foresto. "Not too icy, not too golden - just that muted, radiant light you get from a candle flicker.""
