From crème brûlée to butter biscuit blonde, 2025 has been an incredible year for delicious hair colour trends. And while there was a time where complicated colouring techniques and more experimental shades reigned supreme, there’s one thing that has united this year’s more popular shades—their wearability. Gone are harsh highlights and dramatic balayage and, in their place, more subtle bronzing techniques to achieve a natural, lived-in look.
Yet despite the shift towards shades that require less upkeep, the key to the perfect hair colour this year is that it still looks and feels ultra-polished. Rich in hue and glossy in finish, these modern hair colours might be low-maintenance but they still look incredibly luxe. And that’s exactly the case with mocha bronde—summer’s most coveted shade that’s so expensive-looking that Kate Middleton herself has stepped out wearing it.
