Blonde Ambitions: Kate, Angelina, and Melania Lead the Fall Hair Revolution!
The Blonde Bombshell: Pop Culture's Leading Ladies Ditch Their Dark Roots for a Season of Sunshine
As we bid adieu to the sweltering summer months, it seems like the world's most fashionable females are embracing a whole new level of glamour – and it's all about going blonde. Yes, you read that right! The likes of Princess Kate Middleton, Angelina Jolie, and even Melania Trump have traded in their dark locks for a lighter, brighter look that's leaving us green with envy.
But what's behind this sudden shift to sunny blonde? Is it a case of "new season, new hair"? Or are these A-listers trying to tell us something more?
According to Lauren Paglionico, master colorist and founder of LRN Beauty in New York City, Fall is the perfect time for a hair transformation – especially if you're a high-profile beauty like Kate. "There's something about the seasonal shift that makes it feel like a natural moment for change," she explains exclusively to The Scholarly Note.com. "For some of these women, it's possible they have something exciting on the horizon."
And let's be real, Kate's new blonde look is everything and more. Her cascading tresses looked lighter than ever before as she stepped out in Balmoral in late August – and her visit to the Natural History Museum with Prince William was no exception. "Her long blonde locks seemed to be lighter at the top of her head, and a bit darker towards the bottom, giving a bit of an ombré effect," we can't help but swoon.
But Kate's not the only one who's gone blonde this season. Angelina Jolie has made the transition from dark brown to light, sandy blonde – and it looks like she's here to stay. And as for Melania Trump, well, let's just say her new highlights are a game-changer. "She seems to have added some lighter blonde highlights in her hair, which were especially prominent when she visited victims of the Hill Country, Texas floods with her husband this past July," we observe.
Now, if you're feeling inspired to go blonde like your favorite A-lister, there are a few things you need to keep in mind. First and foremost, it's not a DIY job – at least, not for those with very dark brown hair. "Going from brunette to blonde is a process called double-process blonde, which involves bleaching the dark hair to remove its natural color pigments, followed by toner to achieve the desired shade," explains renowned celebrity hairstylist Julien Farel.
And don't even get us started on the risks of attempting to dye your hair blonde at home. "The biggest mistake when dyeing hair blonde is attempting a complex color correction or bleaching process at home, as it is a multi-step professional process that requires understanding tones, managing previous color, and preventing severe damage," Farel warns.
But fear not, dear readers! With the right expertise and care, you can achieve a beautiful, sun-kissed mane just like your favorite celebrity. Just remember to book those appointments spaced weeks apart to preserve hair health – and don't even think about using an at-home kit with that dark brown hair of yours.
So there you have it – the lowdown on why these A-listers are going blonde this season, and what you need to know before attempting the same look. Whether you're a fan of Kate's new 'do or Angelina's bold new color, one thing is for sure: the world of beauty just got a whole lot brighter.
