Your Guide To The Bunny-Blond Hair Trend
Meet the warm and bright bunny blond hair trend. Much like the soft fur of a blond bunny, the look also boasts a velvety, honey hue that's well blended with dimension. Not only is it luminous, lively, and eye-catching — bunny blond is also a refreshing alternative to some of the more dated platinum blond hair hues. It's obviously ideal for the sunny months of spring and summer, but truly, the trend can be worn any time of the year.
"Bunny blonde is a fresh, bright blond. It's the perfect shade for the start of spring, so that's where the name came from ... This can also make your hair feel thicker, add texture, and give you a boost — literally putting a spring in your step," colorist Harriet Muldoon, who coined the phrase, told Glamour.
This is also not the color's first rodeo. An iteration of the warm blond locks was trending in 2020, referred to as bunny tail blond, which was also warmer and brighter than some of the other blond trends as of late, like milk tea blond hair and linen blond hair. "This is inspired by bunny tail grasses and how they look in particular light, such as the end of the day. Now imagine a field of bunny tail grass being shot in the '70s. That's the exact hazy shade," Zoë Irwin, Wella Professionals UK color trend expert and one of the UK's leading colorists, told Refinery29. Read on for some inspiration in achieving the bunny blond hair trend for yourself.
Bunny blond hair is warm, not brassy
It's important to note that warm blond is quite different from the unwanted brassy orange hues that can arise when going lighter. Bunny blond hair is buttery and bright and nothing like a penny. The hue works well on both straight and curly locks and will have you feeling summer-ready in a flash.
Bunny blond hair is well-blended
While you can ask your stylist for added dimension and variation in your blond tones, a more blended look does align with the bunny blond hair trend. The hue is honey-kissed and bright with an unmistakable warmth. Ask your stylist for a tone that brings movement and volume to your hair, rather than falling flat.
Bunny blond hair works for dark roots
If you have darker roots and want a lighter color that'll blend naturally and seamlessly, then bunny blond hair is a great option for you. The warmth of the hue is easy to work with on brown locks and will give you that much-desired, lived-in look — which isn't always the result when going from dark to light.
Your makeup routine might need a reset with bunny blond hair
You might find that a warmer shade of blond hair like this one will shift your overall look and you may need to make some new choices when it comes to makeup — particularly concealer for under your eyes. "Striking blond hair is an attention-grabbing look — it brings focus on your eyes and, unfortunately, can draw attention to your under-eye circles," Kelli Bartlett, a pro makeup artist, told Byrdie.
Warmer blond hair hues might preserve your hair's health
If you've been craving a little pick-me-up to remind you of fun-in-the-sun days, let the bunny blond hair trend be your sign to go warm. An added plus? Your hair's health. "I'm seeing more people request warm blond ... It gives off a lovely shine and makes blonds look less damaged and more healthy," Limoz Logli, founder of his namesake salon, told Marie Claire. "I'm seeing more demand for this natural-looking approach; clients are moving away from more dramatic colors like platinum blond and are requesting deep, nourishing treatments instead."
