The magical hair trend takes its name and hue from the franchise’s most famous beverage, a sublimely sweet drink made of butterscotch that can be served both hot and cold. The Butterbeer Hair trend takes these delectable hues and tones of yellow, orange and blonde and translates them to the hair in variously bold and subtle iterations. The diversity of the look ensures your clients can request it to suit them and you can create the look that works most ideally for that client, whilst still creating an aesthetic built within the confines of the trend.
