How To Get The Broken-Blonde Look As Seen (Briefly) On Kendall Jenner

While the fashion squad lapped up the latest Burberry offerings look by look at the brand's SS20 show, the beauty world cooed over Kendall Jenner's latest hair revamp. Her trademark raven black colour had been transformed – she was now blonde. (she's since gone back to black.) Now we're not talking any standard block-colour jobby here – this look places the lightest tones of blonde right alongside the darkest, and there's plenty of root regrowth on show, too. The overall effect is effortless and modern – and, best of all, it requires minimal maintenance.

We asked Global Creative Director for Living Proof and renowned celebrity hair stylist Michael Shaun Corby for his inside intel on the broken blonde look.

Why To Try Broken Blonde

'The beauty of this look is in the sharp contrast between the dark and the light tones, and the unexpected surprise of even darker shades within the blonde,' says Corby. A great look to gofor now? Yes. 'It's styled to look a little grown out, so it will easily transition into autumn. The look also allows you to colour your hair less and in doing so maintain the health of your hair.' Shinier, healthier hair and less dollar spent on colour appointments? Count us in.

What To Ask For In The Salon

Corby's instructions are clear: 'Ask for a very heavy weave or highlight.' He is also adamant not to let your hair colourist get confused with the widespread trends for ombre or balayage techniques. 'You want to have a shadowed root, not ombre,' he says. 'It also has very icy tones, it is not golden or warm in anyway.' Want to nail that broken blonde look? Ice it up.

Ashier tones call for violet shampoos to stave off any vibe-killing brassiness. Make sure to use one at least once a week to cancel out any shades of yellow that might be deciding to creep in.
