“Lived-in blondes, rich brunettes, soft copper - meet the stylish hair-colour trends that suit Australia’s summer, plus how to maintain them with De Lorenzo.”
This summer we’re seeing a shift from bold transformations to luminous, effortless colour. In Australia, the vibe is all about that warm sun-kissed glow, healthy movement and tones you’ll love both on the coast and in the city.
Here are the top colour stories for this Summer and how you can achieve each with the De Lorenzo range.
Trend 1: Sun-kissed Blond & Honey Glass
Soft, luminous blondes that shimmer in the Australian sun are having a moment. Think “honey blonde”, “glass blonde” finishes are warm, reflective and sun-kissed.

How to achieve it and maintain it:
- Talk to your Hairdresser about baby lights, a subtle root-smudge or root stretch to keep regrowth softer.
- Maintain your shimmering locks at home using a De Lorenzo colour-safe shampoo and conditioner, with gloss or shine treatments to keep the finish sleek and healthy.

Trend 2: Rich, Dimensional Brunette
Brunette tones are evolving: no more flat matte browns, instead we see rich, glossy and dimensional. Think espresso, mocha, warm chestnut with understated highlights.

How to achieve and maintain it:
- Ask your hairdresser for warm or golden undertones, face-framing ribbons of softer caramel or golden brown to catch the light.
- Maintain at home using treatments every 6-8 weeks for shine and tone refresh as well as a Novafusion shampoo for protect your newfound vibrancy.
- ET EquilibriumNovafusion Cool Naturals, Chocolate or Brunette
Trend 3: Soft Coppers & Strawberry Golds
Warm reds and coppers are back but in a sophisticated way think more like soft warmth than intense and carroty. From strawberry golds to copper creamsicle tones.
How to achieve and maintain:
- Work on this with your hairdresser to ensure you can maintain colour vibrancy and avoid fading.
- Improve colour longevity at home with Novafusion shampoo to protect against colour loss and preserve that shine!
