According to TikTok, "Teddy Bear Blonde" Is Winter's Chicest Hair Colour

by Grace Lindsay

Head over to TikTok, and you'll be met with hundreds of hair trends to try out this winter. Although I love how much inspiration the app has to offer, I rarely find a trend that I'm truly into. However, after coming across videos of "teddy bear blonde" hair transformations, I practically raced to the salon to book an appointment. In my opinion, this is one of the coolest, most wearable hair colours out there this season and it seems that I'm not the only one who thinks so. The hashtag #teddybearblonde already has over 80,000 views on TikTok, and celebrities such as Rihanna and Sofia Richie Grainge are all giving the colour a go. Now, you might be asking yourself, what makes this hair trend different from normal blonde hair? Luckily for you, I've spent hours researching what this colour actually involves, so keep scrolling for all the details.

"Teddy Bear Blonde" Is Winter's Chicest Hair Colour Trend

Rihanna's hair stylist recently shared the star's "teddy bear blonde" hair transformation.

The clue to this trend is all in the name. The hair colour is meant to be similar to that of a classic teddy bear, with a combination of blonde and brunette shades. The result is a gorgeous, golden finish with lots of dimension. I happen to think that this trend is perfect for the winter months thanks to its warm hue, and the most common way to achieve this look would be to get highlights or balayage. Depending on your natural hair colour, your hairdresser can totally tailor your highlights or balayage to give you the perfect "teddy bear" shade. The best thing about this trend is that it often features a darker root, which means those of you with naturally brunette hair won't have to worry as much about the upkeep, as the colour should grow out a lot more naturally. So, if you're thinking about giving this low-maintenance, super-cool hair trend a go, keep on scrolling for some seriously gorgeous inspiration.

If you're worried about upkeep, make sure to keep your roots as close to your natural colour as possible.
