What is Tiger Blonde and why even Bella Hadid gave it a chance

Every end coincides with a new beginning. So the last days of the year have always lent themselves to plans for the future, propitiatory rituals and changes that we hope will bring positivity and happiness.To face 2023 on the right foot, Bella Hadid, who has a passion for manifestation, crystals and spirituality, decided to chase away the bad time she spent in 2022 due to mental health problems with a new look. "I'm feeling a little better and a little more blonde," she said in the Instagram Story posted a few days ago in which she unveiled her new hair color, a shade of warm blonde dubbed Tiger Blonde, which according to London colorist Harriet Muldoon "is a peachy color with an edge," capable of embodying any complexion so much so that the expert advises "whether you are blonde or brunette, with balayage you can add a liquid copper color to give your hair a vibrant finish." Bella Hadid's new color is a special strawberry blonde, which is not as deep as red nor as golden as copper or as vibrant as ginger, but is closer to a vibrant peach color to be veered more toward honey blonde or red depending on preference, as for example also Camille Razat did or less recently Kendall Jenner.

Helping the American model in her latest transformation were hairstylist Jessica Gillin and colorist Jenna Perry, her long-time collaborators, who had long wanted to see her in a lighter color to brighten up her beautiful face. Gillin studied for a long time to find the right shade and, in the end, opted for a particularly warm one that she dubbed Baby Bella or Aspen Blonde. For the lengths, Gillin used a series of bespoke blondes, further blending the extensions with long layers. The result is a dye that is destined to be copied and to become one of the hair trends of 2023, as is Bella's new hairstyle, a long, or rather very long, haircut with a center parting, made more animated by two long locks and a long scaling that frame the face. 

This is not the first time Bella has lightened her hair. The last was in 2019, but she has generally always preferred brown, which has become her signature color despite her natural hair being blonde, which she has darkened to differentiate herself from her sister Gigi. Like Bella, the last few months have seen many celebrities switch from auburn to various versions of blonde. A few examples? Kim Kardashian, Camila Cabello, Millie Bobby Brown, Megan Fox, Vanessa Hudgens and Aubrey Plaza. There is one shade, in particular, that is establishing itself as on trend, arriving just in time for the upcoming holidays. The color of the moment, which also includes Bella Hadid's hot blonde of choice, is called Tiger Blonde and, according to London-based colorist Harriet Muldoon, who works at Larry King's salon, frequented by so many stars, "it's a peach with a punch" that looks good with any complexion that the expert advises "whether your blonde or brunette, balayage you can add a liquid copper color to give your hair a vivid finish". Imagine a special strawberry blonde, which is not as deep as red or as golden as copper or as vibrant as ginger, but is closer to a vibrant peach color that you can turn more towards honey blonde or red depending on your preference.
