Sunshine, salt air, and sun-kissed strands — there's no better time than summer to refresh your look with the perfect blonde! At White Oak Hair Co., we believe blonding is an art form, and this season's trends are all about effortless beauty, radiant tones, and customized color that complements your natural glow. If you're ready to lighten up, we’ve rounded up the hottest blonde trends for Summer 2025 that will have you looking and feeling luminous.

What is Blonding?

Before we dive into this season’s trends, let’s start with the basics: what exactly is blonding?

Blonding refers to any professional hair service that lightens the natural color of your hair. It’s not just one process — blonding can include techniques like highlights, balayage, babylights, full color lightening, platinum card services, and creative color placements. The goal of blonding is to achieve a lighter hair color while maintaining the health, shine, and integrity of your hair.

At White Oak Hair Co., our blonding services are customized based on your hair type, natural color, desired shade of blonde, and maintenance preferences. Whether you want soft, natural highlights or a full, icy platinum transformation, our expert stylists craft a plan that’s uniquely tailored to you.

Blonding is a journey, and partnering with a skilled stylist makes all the difference when it comes to achieving a flawless, healthy, and long-lasting blonde.

The Top Blonde Trends to Watch

1. Buttercream Blonde

Think soft, warm, and ultra-creamy. Buttercream blonde is a cozy alternative to icy platinum, with hints of beige and honey tones that feel luxurious and natural. It's perfect for those who want a low-maintenance blonde that grows out beautifully without harsh lines.

Pro Tip: Ask your stylist for a root smudge to create a softer grow-out and to maintain that effortless summer vibe.

2. Sunlit Balayage

Balayage isn't going anywhere, but this summer’s take is brighter, lighter, and more radiant. Sunlit balayage involves hand-painting lighter blonde pieces around the face, crown, and ends to mimic the way the sun naturally brightens your hair.

Our stylists tailor your highlights for a natural, dimensional finish that’s personalized for you.

3. Scandinavian Blonde

For those craving a bolder transformation, Scandinavian blonde is the answer. This trend takes ultra-light blondes to the next level with bright, icy hues that look crisp and clean — but still healthy and touchable.

Fun Fact: Treatments like our Olaplex or K18 add-on services help protect your hair during the lightening process.

4. Bronde Babylights

Not ready to go full-on blonde? Enter bronde babylights. This trend combines soft brunette roots with ultra-fine, subtle blonde highlights. It’s the perfect low-commitment option if you want to brighten up without a drastic change.

5. Peachy Blonde

If you’re feeling adventurous, peachy blonde is the playful, fun trend that’s dominating this year. By infusing soft pink or peach undertones into golden or platinum blonde hair, you get a fresh, youthful color that feels totally new — and totally Instagram-worthy.

Caring for Your New Blonde

Blonding is beautiful, but it also requires a little extra TLC to keep your color vibrant and your hair healthy. Here’s how to maintain your best blonde all summer long:

• Use a color-safe, sulfate-free shampoo to prevent fading and brassiness.
• Tone regularly with a purple or blue shampoo to keep unwanted yellow or orange tones at bay.
• Deep condition weekly to restore moisture lost from sun, saltwater, and heat styling.
• Protect your hair with UV sprays or wear a cute sunhat when outdoors for long periods.
