Summer 2025, The Rise of Confident Blondes

 

This year’s blonde trends come with smarter, more confident and precise color results— thanks to Redken’s Advanced Dye Calibration technology in the all-new Shades EQ Skylight Blondes.

Why Everyone is Loving Blonde This Season

There’s something about summer that makes going blonde feel just right. Whether it’s beachy brightness or soft pearlescent shimmer, blonde and blonding techniques give stylists endless ways to convey personal style. And as we lean into modern blondes with natural finishes this season, Redken’s new Skylight Blondes make it easier than ever to get the perfect tone — without brassiness or over-toning.

The Technology Behind the Trend

 

Shades EQ Skylight Blondes are powered by Advanced Dye Calibration — a new approach to hair color that enhances brightness, dimension, and true-to-tone results with precision naturality & undertone neutralization. 

2 new naturality families (Natural Violet and Natural Pearl) and 4 new shades, each is formulated with a brown-to-tan background for natural results and infused with cool reflects (blue/violet or violet) to neutralize unwanted undertones. Whether you’re lifting light or refreshing tone, Skylight Blondes give you true-to-tone, dimensional results with pro-level precision.
