Michelle Keegan takes inspiration from Kate Middleton with hair colour makeover
Michelle Keegan has given her hair a summer makeover, debuting a new 'toffee brunette' hair colour complete with 'gold dust' highlights that the Princess of Wales is also favouring
Michelle Keegan is your go-to for summer hair colour inspo, flaunting her freshly cut and dyed hair on social media for her fans to see. The new mum, who welcomed baby Palma earlier this year, has indulged in a salon visit and showcased her updated tresses on social media. Snapping a selfie wearing retro 70s shades, Michelle writes: "Summer hair! Love it."
The Fool Me Once star also expressed gratitude to her trusted hair colourist, Calum Tierney, for his magic touch on her rejuvenated locks. The snap reveals that Michelle has maintained her rich brunette roots while incorporating sun-kissed highlights to enhance the overall hue. This season's trendy 'toffee brunette' look is all about these warm, caramel-like streaks, and even Kate Middleton herself is slowly working towards this hair colour for summer after debuting her lighter look just a few weeks ago.
Hershesons Belgravia's colour expert Hannah Gayle is all for the golden or caramel touches this spring. "I am obsessed with this reflective, eye-catching colour for spring and summer," she comments. "It features rich caramel colours and pops of lighter tones, making it the perfect colour for darker brunettes wanting to add lighter pieces without going the whole hog, and great for those with lighter hair, who want more dimension."
We're also fully influenced by Michelle's new haircut, which perfectly complements her lighter hair. With a nod to the 70s vibe of her accessories, it seems she's taken inspiration from a young Sophia Loren, sporting voluminous layers that lend a slightly retro feel to her look.
