Pantone Picks: Peach Fuzz (Strawberry Blonde) as 2024’s Hottest Hair Colour!

I am super excited to reveal that Pantone’s 2024 Colour of the Year is Peach Fuzz. This means we’ll be seeing a lot of peachy-toned hair inspiration photos brought to life in the salon. Peach Fuzz is softly nestled between pink and orange, which can be created in the hair on yellow blonde bases or intermixing yellow and pinkish peach onto white or lightest blonde.

I’ve been wearing my hair Peachy for a while now and love that it will be one of the hottest trends this year. It’s a twist on a golden creamy strawberry blonde that I’m confident will entice arctic blonde clients to try something new.
