Margot Robbie’s latest hair transformation has elevated her status as the ultimate girl crush. The actress debuted a new ‘mushroom’ hair color while promoting her upcoming film, A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, alongside Colin Farrell. This cooler-toned, lived-in shade is a departure from her usual bright Barbie blonde, making it a perfect choice for the autumn season.
Inspired by Margot’s new look, I visited Haug London Haus, my go-to salon, to see if I could replicate her style on my highlighted hair. Siobhan Haug, the salon’s co-founder and acclaimed colorist, analyzed Margot’s hair and explained the technique behind it. The key features were a rooty effect with taupe and beige tones, complemented by brighter pieces framing the face.
To achieve a similar look on my hair, Siobhan suggested two methods. One involved leaving some natural color at the roots and blending it with existing highlights for a low-maintenance approach. The second method, which I opted for due to my fine hair texture, required taking highlights all the way to the roots and using two different toners to create the desired ‘rooty’ effect.
After a meticulous process involving foils and toners, my hair received a darker tone at the crown and lengths, while the front sections were treated with a lighter, beige-toned toner. The salon’s bespoke hair mask and pampering treatment left my hair feeling soft and manageable, even after exposure to harsh elements like chlorine and sun during a holiday.
The result was a stunning new autumn tone – natural, neutral, and sophisticated, yet retaining a blonde and fresh appeal. If you wish to emulate Margot’s ‘mushroom blonde’ look, ask your colorist for a grown-out, rooty style with brighter front sections and neutral toner shades like taupe and beige. Remember to bring photos for reference to ensure your desired outcome.
