Buttermilk Blonde: Molly-Mae’s New Hair Has Entered Her It-Girl Era
Spring is in the air and with it comes a fresh wave of hair inspiration - courtesy of none other than Molly-Mae. The influencer, entrepreneur and forever muse has just debuted a buttermilk blonde shade that’s officially the colour of the season. Subtle, soft and effortlessly chic, it’s already sending fans straight to the salon chair.
So, what exactly is buttermilk blonde - and why is everyone obsessed?
The Colour That’s Taking Over
Described by top stylists as a creamy blend of beige warmth and cool-toned highlights, buttermilk blonde is the evolved version of the icy, ashy blondes we loved five years ago. It’s lighter than honey, warmer than platinum and sits in that sweet spot that flatters almost every skin tone.
Why Buttermilk Blonde Is So Iconic
This is blonde, but not as you know it. Buttermilk blonde feels modern and luxurious, with subtle dimension and glow. The creamy tones bring softness to the face, while cooler lights keep it fresh and bright. It's that rare tone that looks expensive even when air-dried and thrown up in a claw clip.
How Molly-Mae created her Buttermilk Blonde look
Molly-Mae herself achieves this viral 'buttermilk' look by using the new Beauty Works X Molly-Mae shade Swiss Blonde underneath and a mix of Glacier Blonde and the signature Molly-Mae shade on top. This strategic blend creates that signature creamy, multi-dimensional effect that’s both luxurious and wearable.
Get the Look (and Keep It)
If you're ready to switch things up for spring, buttermilk blonde is your dream match - but it does come with its own rules. Since it blends both cool and warm elements, it’s important to choose a tone that complements your natural base. For darker hair, your stylist might suggest a transitional shade to maintain condition and brightness.
To keep the tone luminous and silky between appointments, we recommend:
- Beauty Works Anti-Yellow Shampoo and Conditioner– perfect for neutralising brassy tones while keeping that creamy buttermilk intact
- Pearl Nourishing Argan Oil Mask – restores moisture and shine for freshly coloured hair
- Beauty Works Argan Oil Serum – smooths and finishes, ideal for styling those soft waves Molly-Mae loves
For styling? Go classic. Molly’s soft waves, created using the Beauty Works x Molly-Mae Curl Kit, are the ultimate match for this colour. Think bouncy, glossy and ultra-feminine.
Blonde, But Better
With her buttermilk blonde reveal, Molly-Mae isn’t just starting a trend - she’s redefining what modern blonde looks like. Creamy, clean and confident, this shade is the glow-up moment your hair has been waiting for.
If you’re aiming to recreate the look with our Beauty Works extensions, we recommend blending tones like:
Swiss Blonde – the perfect fusion of clean blonde and low contrast ash brown tones
Glacier Blonde – clean and bright with a soft natural root
Molly-Mae – the signature shade inspired by her iconic blonde, made to match her exact look
Iced Blonde – a clean, cool base to balance milky highlights
Champagne Blonde – soft, beige warmth for that buttermilk depth
