Mushroom Blonde Hair Is Everything You Need This Winter—Here Are 15 Gorgeous Examples to Show Your Stylist

By Kaitlyn Yarborough

@mizzchoi

Just when we thought that mushroom brown hair—you know, that earthy color we saw take over salons this year with an ashy, cool-toned vengeance—couldn’t get any better, it’s blonde best friend came into town. Imagine the same multi-dimensional color, richly blended with only cool-to-neutral brown and blonde shades, but brightened up in a way that’s oh-so flattering. This winter, mushroom blonde hair will refresh those strands without looking like you’re trying too hard. Whether you want to keep your dark roots or go fully blonde, ask your stylist to stick with neutral and cool tones in order to stay true to the shade. From there, possibilities are endless. It’s all about hitting the right spot on the ashy spectrum for you. We pulled together 15 incredibly gorgeous, totally different mushroom blonde looks to bring to your stylist this season.

Blonde Babylights

@mizzchoi

Go blonde without being too obvious. If your skin tone is cool-toned or fair, a neutral-to-ashy blonde will look more natural than bright yellowish platinum or honey blondes.
