Color Trends 2026 + Kevin Murphy Care Routines to Protect Yours

With the hair world shifting in 2026, color is evolving from high-contrast looks to sophisticated, “quiet luxury” hues. From espresso brunettes to bronze blondes and muted copper tones, this year’s color palette feels rich, nuanced, and effortlessly chic. 

But vibrant color demands smart care — and Kevin Murphy’s regimen products are designed to keep color shiny, hydrated, and healthy.

Trend: Espresso & Rich Brunette Dominance

Deep, glossy brunettes — especially espresso brown — are set to be big in 2026. These shades are rich and reflective, with low contrast that embraces natural tones with luminosity. 

Kevin Murphy Routine:

Trend: Copper 2.0 — Ginger Glow

Copper is back, but softer. Think muted copper blends and strawberry golden shades that are wearable yet striking. 

Kevin Murphy Routine:

Copper tones can fade faster, so supporting with hydrating products prolongs vibrancy between salon visits.

Trend: Lived-In & Low-Maintenance Blonde

Lived-in blondes with soft root blends and natural transitions are still trending — especially champagne, beige blonde, and gentle root melts. 

Kevin Murphy Routine:

Maintaining healthy hair is key when you’re working with light tones — these products keep strands strong and gleaming.

Trend: Glossy Shine — the 2026 Hair “Flex”

It’s not just color – shine itself is trending. Glossy, reflective hair is one of 2026’s biggest staples, and it’s trending across all shades from warm browns to mink blondes. 

Kevin Murphy Product: Super.Milk Treatment

A leave-in latte-like treatment that nourishes strands, boosts shine, and protects color without weight.

Color Care Tips for 2026

🌟 Pre-Styling:

Always start with a color safe shampoo and conditioner. Hydration and cuticle sealing are essential.

🌟 Heat Protection:

Use thermal products before hot tools to prevent colour fade and dryness.

🌟 Mask Time:

Weekly treatments like Blonde.Angels.Masque help seal pigment and restore softness.

🌟 Gloss Boost:

Apply Super.Milk or a light shine serum to reflect light and highlight colour depth.

Pro Stylist Thought — Balancing Trend & Care

Color trends in 2026 favor depth, sophistication, and glow, not extremes. This means your color services should enhance natural beauty while still delivering impact. A good care routine — especially one anchored by Kevin Murphy products — helps maintain vibrancy, strength, and shine long after you leave the salon.

2026 Hair Trends You Need to Know With Kevin Murphy Must Haves

Hair in 2026 is all about intentional shine, effortless movement, and bespoke texture. Stylists and trend forecasters alike agree that the year is shaping up to be about healthy-looking hair that’s expressive, polished, and personal. 

Gone are the days of one-size-fits-all beach waves — this year we’re seeing nuanced texture, rich hues, and cuts that move. Whether you’re into the polished blowout revival, lived-in layers, or bold sculptural styles, Kevin Murphy has the products and tools to make each trend effortless.

Trend 1 — Softlift Layers & Natural Texture

One of the first trends dominating 2026 is soft, natural texture paired with gentle layering. Stylists are designing haircuts that work with hair, not against it — soft face-framing pieces and airy, elevated movement that looks great air-dried or styled. 

Kevin Murphy Product Pick: BEDROOM.HAIR

This lightweight texturizer enhances natural waves and adds body without stiffness — ideal for air-dried texture that feels polished yet laid-back. Work a small amount through damp hair then let air do the rest. It’s perfect if you want movement without frizz.

Trend 2 — Quiet Luxury Blowouts

Yes — the blowout is back, but softer and more luxe than ever. Think rich volume, soft root lift, and sleek ends that feel salon-fresh from morning to night. 

Kevin Murphy Product Pick: SMOOTH.AGAIN

This anti-frizz blow-dry crème fights humidity, adds shine, and protects from heat. Follow with a round-brush blowout and finish with SESSION.SPRAY for hold that survives commute and cocktails alike.

Trend 3 — Strong Form Cuts: Bobs & Lobs

2026 is seeing a surge in sharper, intentional cuts. From the modern British bob to the classic long bob (lob), these shapes frame faces beautifully and highlight texture and color. 

Kevin Murphy Product Pick: PLUMPING.WASH & RINSE

Clean, lightweight support for fine hair that needs body and movement. When paired with a slight blowout and FRESH.HAIR at the roots, your bob will pop with dimension and presence.

Trend 4 — Espresso Brown & Dimensional Colour

While Kevin Murphy doesn’t offer hair dyes, the brand’s color-protecting regimen strongly complements 2026’s rich, low-maintenance colours like espresso brown and subtle root melts. 

Kevin Murphy Product Picks:

Mitigating dryness and keeping tones rich and glossy is key this year — and these formulas help protect pigment while strengthening hair.

Trend 5 — Sculptural Updos & Statement Styles

From power ponies to sculptural updos and sleek retro attitudes, 2026 hair often mixes statement shape with shine. 

Kevin Murphy Product Pick: EASY.RIDER or SESSION.SPRAY

Perfect for locks that must hold shape all day, from office to evening events. Easy Rider is strong without flakiness; Session Spray gives you that polished, enduring finish.

Pro Stylist Tips for 2026 Trends + KM Routine

✨ For texture lovers: Dampen hair, apply Bedroom.Hair, then diffuse or air-dry — you’ll get natural-looking wave with hold.

✨ For blowout revival: Protect with Smooth.Again, blow-dry with root lift, set with Session Spray.

✨ For vibrant color: Use hydrating wash & rinse formulas that support longevity and gloss.

Bottom Line — 2026 Is About Hair That Feels Alive

From lived-in colour and expressive texture to sculptural form and glossed finish, 2026 hair is versatile yet purposeful. With Kevin Murphy products, you can create all these looks with strength, shine, and salon polish — no matter your hair type.

Healthy Hair is Beautiful Hair

As the climate shifts, so should your haircare routine. The change in temperature, the dry air, and increased heat styling for fall looks can leave your hair vulnerable to dryness, static, and breakage. At Blowtox, we believe healthy hair is beautiful hair, which is why we trust KEVIN.MURPHY’s “Skincare for Hair” approach.

The Fall Health Reset Focus:

  1. Deep Hydration & Repair: After a summer of sun, salt, and chlorine, your hair is thirsty. Fall is the perfect time to commit to a weekly deep treatment.
    • Our Recommendation: The REPAIR-ME.WASH & RINSE duo uses potent proteins and amino acids to rebuild and strengthen dry, damaged, and over-processed hair. Pair it with the RE.STORE Cleansing Treatment instead of your usual shampoo and conditioner once a week for an intense protein and moisture injection.
  2. Scalp Care is Self-Care: Wearing more hats and experiencing the dry air can irritate your scalp. A healthy scalp is the foundation for healthy hair growth.
    • Our Recommendation: Introduce the SCALP.SPA SCRUB and SCALP.SPA WASH into your routine. This regimen detoxifies, exfoliates, and soothes the scalp, removing buildup and excess oils to keep your roots fresh and balanced.
  3. Always Protect: Whether you’re using a curling iron for soft waves or a blow dryer for a sleek bob, heat protection is non-negotiable, especially as your hair is already fighting the environmental shift.
    • Our Recommendation: UN.TANGLED Leave-In Conditioner. Spritz this detangling spray onto damp hair for thermal protection up to 428∘F (220∘C) while smoothing and restoring your hair’s elasticity. It’s the ultimate multi-tasker for fall.

Let’s get your hair fall-ready! Book a conditioning treatment add-on during your next Blowtox appointment, and ask your stylist which KEVIN.MURPHY regimen is right for your hair health goals.

Why Keratin Treatments Keep Your Hair Smooth and Silky in Summer

Summer in Palm Beach Gardens is all about enjoying the sunshine, but the heat and humidity can turn your hair into a frizzy mess. At Blowtox Hair Salon, our keratin treatments are the secret to smooth, silky hair that lasts all season. These treatments infuse your hair with protein to tame frizz, reduce styling time, and maintain a polished look, even in Florida’s challenging climate. As we head into June 2025, here’s why a keratin treatment at Blowtox is your summer must-have and how it can transform your hair care routine.

What Is a Keratin Treatment?

A keratin treatment is a professional smoothing process that infuses hair with keratin, a natural protein that strengthens and smooths the hair shaft. At Blowtox, we use formaldehyde-free keratin formulas, which are safer and gentler on your hair and scalp. The treatment is applied to clean hair, sealed with heat, and left to set, resulting in sleek, manageable hair. Unlike relaxers, keratin treatments don’t alter your hair’s natural texture permanently, making them versatile for all hair types, from curly to straight. They’re especially effective in summer, when humidity can cause frizz and flyaways.

Taming Frizz in Summer Humidity

Palm Beach Gardens’ summer humidity is notorious for causing frizz, but keratin treatments are a game-changer. By coating the hair cuticle with a protective layer, keratin reduces the hair’s ability to absorb moisture from the air, which is the primary cause of frizz. Research shows that keratin treatments can reduce frizz by up to 90% in humid conditions, making them ideal for Florida’s climate. At Blowtox, our clients notice their hair stays smooth and sleek, even during outdoor activities like beach days or evening events. This means less time battling frizz and more time enjoying summer.

Long-Lasting Results for a Carefree Season

One of the biggest benefits of a keratin treatment is its longevity. With proper care, results can last up to 6 months, covering the entire summer season. At Blowtox, we recommend using sulfate-free shampoos, like Kevin Murphy’s HYDRATE-ME.WASH, to maintain the treatment’s effects. Avoiding chlorinated pools and saltwater also helps prolong smoothness. Our stylists provide aftercare tips to ensure your hair stays silky, so you can enjoy low-maintenance styling from June through September 2025. This durability makes keratin treatments a cost-effective choice for busy summer schedules.

Low Maintenance Styling for Summer Fun

Summer is packed with events, from weddings to barbecues, and a keratin treatment cuts down on styling time. Treated hair dries smoother and requires less heat styling, reducing damage from blow-dryers or flat irons. Many Blowtox clients find they can air-dry their hair for a polished look, perfect for hot days when you want to avoid extra heat. Whether you’re heading to a festival or a dinner by the water, your hair will look effortlessly chic with minimal effort, freeing you up to enjoy the season.

Safe and Professional Application at Blowtox

At Blowtox, safety is a priority. Our formaldehyde-free keratin treatments are gentler than traditional formulas, reducing the risk of irritation or damage. Our experienced stylists customize each treatment to your hair type and desired results, ensuring a natural, healthy finish. The process takes about 2-3 hours, depending on hair length, and includes a consultation to address your concerns. We also offer follow-up appointments to monitor your hair’s health and recommend complementary services, like hydrating treatments, to enhance results.

Is a Keratin Treatment Right for You?

Keratin treatments are ideal for anyone seeking smoother, more manageable hair, especially in summer. They work on all hair types, though curly or frizzy hair sees the most dramatic results. If you’re worried about damage, our formaldehyde-free options and expert application minimize risks. However, those with very fine or overprocessed hair should consult with our stylists to ensure compatibility. Blowtox’s team will guide you through the process, from initial treatment to aftercare, to ensure you love your summer hair.
