Desert crystals. The most fashionable hair color of this summer has been named

When singer Lana Del Rey appeared on the stage of the Coachella festival, all the attention of fans was focused on her shiny blonde locks. It was a big transformation for the artist, whom fans were used to seeing with dark hair.

According to Del Rey's colorist Tracy Cunningham, the star herself wanted a new color - "desert blonde," and there has never been a better description for this specific shade, which resembles a cross between honey and wheat. Its shine makes it look like sand crystals. "Lana calls it 'desert blonde' because we made it for Coachella," the master told Byrdie.

Regardless of your natural shade, summer always encourages you to go lighter and brighter. While platinum blonde has kept us in awe for years, and 2023 was the summer of the bright and feisty Barbie blonde, celebrities and their colorists were ready for new experiments in 2024, and Del Rey's sandy blonde is the perfect example of the transition from icy cool to desert sun.

Desert blonde is right in the center of the blonde spectrum, not too cool and not too warm. It is darker and more subdued than Barbie's locks, with an oily blonde shimmer, but not as golden as a true honey blonde.

Cunningham believes that "anyone can be blonde - you just have to find the right tone." The best way to do this is with the help of a trusted colorist who can help you adjust the formula to match your unique shades.

If you, like Lana, are transitioning from a dark color to a desert blonde, be patient, as it may take several sessions to achieve the desired color. "It takes time to safely achieve the perfect color without harming your hair," advises the stylist. "You should be prepared to go with an intermediate color for a while to have the hair of your dreams." If you are already blonde, you will need to adjust your color palette: "To go from ice to desert blonde, you'll need darkening and shine."
