‘Vanilla Lilac’ Is the Latest Hair Color the Internet Wants You to Embrace

Looking for a fall refresh? Consider Vanilla Lilac: the dreamy hair color that’s been sweeping the ’gram as of late. The soft blend of pastel purple and light brown shades offers a great option for bleached blondes who want to try something different while they grow out their summer strands. 

To get the look, ask your stylist to lighten just a few face-framing pieces in the front before applying a light lavender toner (emphasis on the light; too much pigment and it will look purple) to the mid-lengths and ends of your hair. Better yet, take this photo in for a visual. Because sometimes toasted coconut and root beer just aren’t what you’re hungry for.
