Why ‘Low-Maintenance Luxe’ Is the Colour Trend to Know for 2026

2026 is shaping up to be the year of effortless elegance — where luxe meets lived-in — and hair colour is leading the way. Gone are the days when the perfect shade meant weekly salon visits. Today’s most covetable looks are about refined, seamless colour that flatters, grows out beautifully, and still feels polished,

even weeks after application.

1. Natural Tone With a Luxe Finish

Across salons worldwide, colourists are moving away from high-contrast bleaching and towards natural colour with depth and shine. Shades like soft bronde, warm espresso, dimensional brunette and champagne blonde are all defined by rich, nuanced tones that reflect light and look expensive without needing constant touch-ups.

This trend isn’t about dramatic shifts; it’s about enhancing your base colour so your hair looks vibrant and healthy on any day of the week.

You can achieve a multi tonal luxurious colour at home using our Miracle System.

2. Lived-In Looks That Grow Out Gracefully

A defining feature of Low-Maintenance Luxe is regrowth that actually works with your colour. Techniques like root melting, balayage and subtle face-framing brightness ensure your hair evolves beautifully through the weeks, meaning fewer salon visits but more time rocking your best colour. It’s the perfect choice for busy lifestyles and those who want polished hair with minimal upkeep.

For those who need grey coverage, opt for a root touch up in between your colour for soft natural coverage.

3. Hair Health Is Part of the Trend

In 2026, your colour shouldn’t just look good, it should be healthy. Stylists are consciously choosing colour formulas and application techniques that keep hair integrity at the forefront. This means shinier, stronger strands that show off colour beautifully, whether you’re opting for brunettes or blondes.

Our range of glosses are made to boost shine and extend the life of your colour between appointments, because luxe is nothing without luminous hair.
