Transforming blonde hair to add movement and luminosity: Emerging once again from social media, the Vanilla Chai hair shade makes a comeback. Let’s dive into the various looks worth experimenting with.
It’s not a novelty because the Vanilla Chai hair color was coined towards the end of 2018 by colorist Amy McManus (on Instagram @camouflageandbalayage) and exploded as a trend for the fall-winter of 2019. After only four years, this light cool blonde, to be worn with darker roots, is once again a hair trend. The name comes from the winter beverage of the same name and is, in fact, a shade halfway between cool and warm blonde, between pure vanilla and icy platinum – characteristics that make it appealing to people with different skin tones.
Another characteristic is that the color is not applied to all lengths but especially on the tips: that’s why it’s perfect for medium or long hair and is even more appreciated when worn with messy waves. In reality, there are many possible hair looks, as demonstrated by the selection of hairstyles we have chosen for you.

The ideal starting color for creating Vanilla Chai is, of course, blonde, but also light brown.
Do you have dark hair and want to try this shade? No problem: simply lighten the strands through the classic bleaching technique (bleach + aluminum foil) to achieve a color that blends the lighter shades of blonde with the warmer tones of vanilla.
Don’t hesitate any longer! Go for it at your next hair appointment and you won’t be disappointed.
