One of the biggest trends predicted to hit our roots this autumn/winter is Dragon Blonde hair, courtesy of HBO’s latest hit series (and GOT prequel) House of the Dragon. To find out more about the trend, we spoke to Lucy Robertson, Brand Representative for the UK’s number one blonding brand, Bblonde.

Dragon Blonde is the Latest Hair Trend for 2022

What is dragon blonde hair?

Dragon blonde is an updated version of ice and platinum blonde that has become popular again thanks for House of the Dragon. It all started with Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) in Game of Thrones, but now our screens are filled with numerous characters all sporting Dragon Blonde. A very white blonde with cool undertones, it’s the perfect shade to take through the seasons as we look for more icy tones that are wearable but also help us stand out from the crowd.

How can we get the look?

When it comes to getting your hair this blonde it’s not a one job process. Depending on the colour of your hair you currently have this can sometimes take multiple sessions so I would advise that you take extra care for your hair during and after these sessions. It’s so important to ensure you are caring for your hair when bleaching as the process can weaken your hair if this is not considered.

You can either get the look with the help of professional hairdressers at your local salon, or have a go at home with Bblonde. The Ultra Blonding Kit, for example, works exceptionally well on light to dark brown hair. It is super easy-to-use and lightens the hair by up to nine shades, helping you to achieve the dragon blonde look as quickly as possible.

After you’ve perfected your blonde shade it’s important to maintain it. First, you have to use a purple shampoo like the Intense Silver No Yellow Shampoo to neutralise brassy tones. Depending on how blonde you want your hair to be, you can use this everytime you wash your hair. Combine this shampoo with a super-hydrating mask, because hydrating coloured hair is also incredibly important for colour maintenance – especially when it comes to tackling brassiness and fading blondes.

Can anyone wear the dragon blonde hair trend?

Generally speaking, those with cool skin undertones suit Dragon Blonde more – but really, who are we to stop anyone from rocking dragon blonde? If you’re concerned about how it will look, use photoshop or a filter on a picture of yourself to see what it might look like. You can also do a hair colouring test on a strand of your hair that’s hidden to help visualise what it might look like all over

Which celebrities have done white blonde hair well in the past? And who would you like to see try it?

Lady Gaga, Cara Delevingne, Kim Kardashian, Zoe Kravitz, Rita Ora and Soo Joo Park are just some female celebrities that have had gorgeous white blonde hair. We also loved when Zac Efron when white blonde – we’re definitely predicting this trend coming in style for men over the next few months and would love to see more male celebrities going white blond (we have our fingers crossed for Bad Bunny and Jack Harlow).

For females we’d love to see Lizzo embrace the white blonde. She’s already bleached her eyebrows, so we’d love to see how platinum hair looks!
