One of the hottest hair-color trends of fall 2025 is straight out of the ’60s: Meet “boho blonde.” This effortlessly cool approach to highlighted hair is surprisingly low-maintenance. Boho blonde leans into a natural warm-toned color without too much contrast or definition. Below, find the retro It girls who wore this timeless shade best—plus some contemporary tips on how to get the look.
Where did “boho blonde” come from?
When channeling your boho blonde mood board, think more French chic than California cool. This particular shade of honey blonde looks put together without trying too hard. Sixties icons like Jane Fonda, Edie Sedgwick, and Sharon Tate made it popular during a cultural moment when peace, love, and natural beauty were calling the shots.

How should you ask for boho blonde at the salon?
In keeping with the trend’s bohemian roots, you’ll want to avoid an overproduced final look. We always appreciate the artistry of balayages and dimensional highlights, but boho blonde favors an organic, unintentional-looking allover color. Rather than cool or platinum tones, opt for caramel, sand, and honey shades. Ask for soft, subtle highlights where they’d naturally be placed by the sun; depending on your natural base color, a gloss treatment might be more effective than foils. Prioritizing a lived-in blonde that grows out seamlessly—or leaving your roots a little darker from the jump—will make the color much easier to maintain and contribute to add to its effortless appeal.
Who’s wearing boho blonde in 2025?
This fall boho blonde color is everywhere—but it’s showing up on more contemporary styles than its original hairspray-doused retro looks. Today’s boho blondes are leaning into the easygoing vibe of the color when styling it. Sienna Miller has been spotted rocking long boho blonde mermaid waves, while Suki Waterhouse has tried it out on her signature shaggy layers and bangs. Margot Robbie has used the look to recover from her Barbie bleach jobs, stepping out in refreshingly undone styles and dark roots. Whether you’re into a structured bob, air-dried texture, or blown-out volume, boho blonde has universally flattering range. For more inspiration before your next appointment, keep scrolling.
