If there’s one thing I’ve observed as a beauty editor who studies hair trends for a living, it’s that no two blonde hair colours are the same. In fact, there are so many blonde hair colours to choose from. From worn blonde to jam blonde, 2025’s hair colour trends have offered up plenty of inspiration for blondes this year.
So, when our e-commerce analyst, Sophie Cookson, was looking to refresh her blonde hair, she made her way to Hershesons for a hair refresh with hair colourist Marley Xavier and hair stylist Conor McLaughlin and landed on woven blonde. And it may just be the chicest blonde hair colour I’ve seen this year. (I’m a brunette and even I’m tempted.)
Scroll ahead to find out what woven blonde is and everything you need to know about this elevated hair colour.
What is Woven Blonde?
Much like the multiple tones you might see in natural linen fabrics or a wicker basket bag, woven blonde features finely blended ribbons of blonde to create a multi-tonal effect. Cookson brought the above picture of Elsa Hosk as a colour reference for her appointment at Hershesons.
“I was looking to completely update my look,” says Cookson. “My natural hair colour is a darker blonde, and I wanted the colour to be a lighter, more vibrant blonde for the summer months. I don’t go to the hairdressers very often for a colour, so I was looking for something low-maintenance,” she says. “I also wear my hair in a tight bun on greasy hair days, so we also planned for it to look good when it was scraped back.”
“Sophie has the perfect base for adding blonde. Those natural golden-sandy undertones create an ideal canvas,” says Xavier. “By introducing soft, milky baby blonde tones, we were able to build seamless dimension and a tonal finish. The result is a fluid, luminous blonde that feels effortlessly polished.”
