Hair Color of the Year for 2023

Champagne Blonde with A Kiss of Rose
 
Various shades of blonde have been trending in the last couple of years, and hairstylists, celebrities, and influencers have started adjusting the color for a more natural and softer appeal that suits all skin tones, hair types, and hair textures.
 
Redken, the number one* professional hair brand in the United States, and pioneer in professional hair care and color, is making it easier than ever before to go "Champagne Blonde" by expanding its popular Shades EQ hair gloss collection. To celebrate the trending hair color, Redken has officially chosen "Champagne Blonde with A Kiss of Rose" as the hair color of the year for 2023.
 
With more than 60% growth in online searches and over 60,000 hashtags, Champagne Blonde is a rapidly expanding hair color trend. Made popular by influencers and celebrities around the US, you can't miss the hair color on social media feeds. To create the champagne hue in the past, hairdressers had to mix multiple shades to achieve this custom hair color.
 
Today, Redken takes the guesswork out of the color-mixing process by introducing the new Shades EQ Gloss Bonder Inside Gold Rose Family. The three new Gold Rose shades help stylists to easily create a custom Champagne Blonde color, called "Champagne Blonde with a Kiss of Rose." The Gold Rose Family shades are formulated with a perfect mix of gold and delicate rose reflects and boost the champagne hair color trend by creating brilliant and reflective blonde hues with a twist.
 
The Gold Rose shades provide a distinctive, contemporary blonde finish that is suitable for all skin tones, hair types, and hair textures. "Champagne Blonde with A Kiss of Rose" is a beautiful golden shade, with very subtle hints of rose. Redken's Shades EQ Bonder Inside Gold Rose Family features three new shades - Sparkling Wine (010GRo), Blush Spritz (09GRo) and Golden Fizz (07GRo) – and will make it easy to enjoy the hair color of the year. The gold tonal breakdown of these shades brings a warm feeling without any yellowish tints and increases the brightness. The rose tonal breakdown is adjusted to match natural undertones at each level and provides a subtle rose reflection.
