Straight out of The Three Broomsticks Inn of Hogsmeade to your hair, butterbeer hair colour is a real thing that is trending straight out of the Harry Potter franchise.
The sweet, creamy-foamy beer beverage, which tastes like butterscotch, is loved by the wizards and is so famous that now the muggles have got inspired from its amber hue and adopted it as a hair colour trend. A gorgeous amalgamation of red, yellow and orange hair colours that pay homage to the Harry Potter World’s most cherished and loved beverage- Butterbeer! The hair-colour trend has so far consisted of more muted shades, neon colours, and everything in between.
Potterheads get ready for some magical vibes. Go Weasley red, or make it look like a nice pint of butterbeer, there are a lot of ways to hop on the Flying Ford Anglia (hello? the one Ron and Harry drove to Hogwarts!) to the butterbeer hair trend. This new entrant in hair-colour trends of 2018 is love, so go ahead and give your hair some extra dimension.
Of course, how you wear your butterbeer hair is up for interpretation. Potterheads can do all-over colour or incorporate the multidimensional hue through vibrant highlights or a classic ombre look. Your butterbeer colour can be as subdued or vivid as you want it to be. The buttery yellows and oranges and blondes with some hints of reds and caramels, the versions of this hair-colour are plenty. A subtler take on this hair colour would be the one with barely-there yellow highlights blended with natural hues such as caramels or browns. So go bonkers!
For fair and pale skin tones, opt for copper reds infused with warm browns—you can also opt for hints of flaming oranges. While for girls with medium to dark skin tones, choose yellow and brunette balayage that will definitely be statement-worthy and will complement your skin tone beautifully. Although these are just suggestions, don’t consider them as the decision of The Sorting Hat, and pick whatever house suits your wishes.
Another variant of the butterbeer hair colour is Gryffindor hair, which is the creation of Virginia Beach-based stylist Crystal Casey. The colour is done with almost the same shades of butterbeer hair colour, but the style is completely different! It’s done by bleaching horizontal sections of hair which are then coloured to look patchy and chunky—but not in a bad way at all! This is done by using a basic balayage technique.
