If you're after something that is chic and will add some warmth, then look no further than Raffia Blonde. But what is raffia blonde, and how can you get it right? Let's dive into this must-have hair trend.

What's the Buzz About Raffia Blonde?

Raffia blonde is all about embracing warm, golden tones, mirroring the natural hues of raffia fibres. Forget icy platinum – this blonde is soft, dimensional, and incredibly flattering. It's a move away from the stark, overly processed looks and towards a more natural, sun-kissed vibe. Raffia Blonde encompasses creamy shades, golden highlights, and beige tones to capture the warmth of summer.

Why Raffia Blonde is Taking Over

  • Universal Appeal: Suits a wide range of skin tones – warm, cool, and neutral.
  • Low-Maintenance Gorgeousness: Thanks to the blended tones, regrowth is less noticeable.
  • Healthy Radiance: The warmth instantly brightens the complexion.
  • Celebrity Inspiration: Seen on countless A-listers, making it highly desirable.

How to Achieve the Raffia Blonde Look

Getting raffia blonde right requires a strategic approach tailored to your starting colour.

  • Dark Hair: Lifting dark hair to blonde requires skill and patience. A gradual approach with a professional colourist is crucial to minimise damage and avoid unwanted orange tones. Olaplex treatments during the process can help maintain hair health.
  • Medium Brown: Balayage or foil highlights are the best options to add dimension and lightness.
  • Light Blonde: You're already halfway there! Adding warmer golden and honey tones will complete the look.

Expert Tip: The key to raffia blonde is dimension. Ask your colourist for a blend of tones, rather than a single flat colour.

Common Blonde Hair Problems (and How to Fix Them)

Blonde hair can be prone to a few common issues. Here’s how to keep your raffia blonde looking its best:

  • Brassiness: A good purple shampoo is your best friend. Use it 1-2 times per week to neutralise yellow tones.
  • Dryness: Hydration is key. Invest in a nourishing hair mask and use it weekly.
  • Fading: Use colour-safe shampoo and conditioner, and avoid excessive sun exposure.

Expert Tip: Always use a heat protectant spray before using any hot styling tools.
