CMA Hair Trend: Southern Blondes with A Twist

Last night the 45th annual Country Music Awards were held in Nashville, TN and while it may be no surprise that Taylor Swift won "Entertainer of the Year," what may surprise you is that she, Carrie Underwood, and Nicole Kidman, are all considered blondes.  I spoke with Wella Professional Colorist, Aura Friedman, to get the scoop on the hair color trends of the 'gals down south. “The beauty of blonde is that the color palette is virtually endless and finding the right blonde to complement an individual’s skin tone and features is the key to making it look natural,” she remarks.

Carrie Underwood who hosted and performed at the CMA's dons a warm, buttery blonde, which instead of washing her out, brings out her features and nicely compliments her skin tone.  While many blondes may be afraid to add a bit of red into their color, Nicole Kidman demonstrates the look well with her strawberry blonde locks.  The southern trend is about stepping away from platinum and warming up a blonde with little bit of golden or peach undertones.

Interested in warming up your blonde?  It's a great look for fall.  Ask your colorist for multi-dimensional color with undertones that suit your skin tone.

Watch out brunettes and red heads!
