It's time for this season's trends again! This spring and summer, we're seeing trends that are both subtle and striking, from warm, sunkissed blond tones to soft red and rich brown hues.
Warm & Natural: Blond tones with depth
Blond remains a classic, but in 2026 it will be softer, warmer and more versatile. Think of:
-
Blush Beige Blond: This colour is a mix of both warm and cool tones with a predominantly ashy undertone.
-
Buttercream Blond: A creamy mix of golden and beige blond tones.
-
Ice Beige Blond: Cool but subtle, with a champagne-like shine.
Perfect for anyone who wants a fresh, warm look without extreme contrasts. The blonde series from Calmare is perfect for this, with the 100.2 as the warmest and the 100.17 as the ashiest shade.
Rich brown tones
Brunette colours become fuller and deeper this season, tones that show life:
-
Caramel brown: Deep, glossy with subtle highlights.
-
Chocolate brown: Warm and elegant, ideal for natural, smooth transitions.
-
Inky Violet Black: Almost black, with a hint of violet or blue in the sun.
These shades add depth and are often low maintenance, ideal during the warmer months. Use Calmare's choco shades for this. Create Inky Violet Black with 1.0 and a drop of Colormix Violet or Blue.
Red & Warm
The proportion of red tones in trends continues to grow, but this year they are calmer and more subdued than the bright, striking variants of the past:
-
Cowboy Copper & Warm Terracotta Brown: Warm, natural-looking copper and rust tones.
-
Muted Reds & Amber Glow: Soft, deep yet sparkling. Warm reddish-brown nuances with a soft, honey-like glow.
Red is ideal if you want to make a statement. Combine it with copper or golden tones, for a beautiful warm mix. Choose your favorites in Calmare's copper, red, and gold tones.
Lived-In Looks and Low-Maintenance Styling are the keywords in 2026.
- Lived-In Looks: a natural-looking hair color with soft transitions and subtle highlights, creating the effect as if the hair always looks washed and styled.
- Low-Maintenance Styling: a styling that looks effortlessly good and requires minimal upkeep, ideal for busy clients who still want radiant hair.
A perfect-looking style without too much effort!
Lastly, some general tips for your 2026 look
✔️ Choose a shade that matches your undertone (warm, cool, or neutral).
✔️ Ask your hairdresser for a lived-in grow-out: a hair color with soft, flowing transitions from root to tip, making regrowth barely visible and the color lasting longer. Perfect for a low-maintenance, natural look.
Feeling a bit bolder? Combine subtle fantasy-colors with a natural base to add some extra flair to your look.
