No matter whether it’s for summertime fun or to add warmth in wintertime, blonde hair comes in various shades that may work for any complexion. How can you find one that will complement you best?
Buttery Blonde
The buttery blonde stands apart from other trends by covering an expansive spectrum of tones, from yellowy warmth to subtle cream tones and even deep toasted brown hues that evoke natural warmth. This unique shade exudes both warmth and natural beauty! It creates a sun-kissed look that conjures memories of summer days spent by the sea. Worn with defined pixie cuts or beachy waves, this blonde shade remains fresh and sophisticated.
This hue works exceptionally well on fair skin tones and can help emphasize blue or green eyes while pairing well with honey-colored bayalage (such as RHOP star Gizelle Bryant’s gorgeous look from RHOP). Furthermore, this trend looks fabulous on medium complexions when paired with honey-colored bayalage (see Gizelle Bryant from RHOP). Additionally, this trend complements all types of blonde hair. However, those with naturally warm undertones find this color trend most appropriate – pair your buttery blonde locks with bold hues like tangerine or slinky gold, along with dark colors such as black and deep silver, for an unforgettable look!
Flaxen Blonde
The pinkish shade that blends warm and cool tones, commonly referred to as strawberry blonde, is ideal for those with warm undertones as it neutralizes any orange or reddish tones in their skin tone. It is an attractive shade choice for those with naturally dark hair looking to go lighter for summertime. It is less harsh than other blonde hues yet still looks fantastic if applied using the balayage technique.
Silky Blonde
Lighter than honey blonde but still warm-toned, this stunning pale hue is a dream come true for blondes seeking a low-maintenance color option. Your stylist can achieve it through balayage – lifting color from select strands of hair and blending it toward the roots – creating this look with less damage and upkeep than full head bleach. If you love this shade, add subtle highlights throughout your mane to add depth and dimension. Also, remember to keep up your healthy locks by including deep conditioning treatments like L’Oreal Professionnel Serie Expert Absolut Repair Instant Resurfacing Masque into your routine; this formula contains gold quinoa protein for even healthier-looking locks!
Platinum Blonde
Platinum blonde is the lightest shade available and is often referred to as level 10 , having no discernible yellow, red, or brown undertones. Your colorist can bleach your hair before adding pigment for this high-maintenance shade that requires frequent touch-ups and toning sessions. Cool-toned platinum blondes like this one pair beautifully with cool skin tones. Their metallic sheen adds a sophisticated aesthetic, adding shimmery highlights. This platinum blonde features almost an icy white hue with just the faintest trace of warm silver for an eye-catching, shimmery finish.
Beige blonde is an approachable way of creating a more natural take on platinum blonde, as its tint is balanced between pale silver and yellow. This natural hue works best on neutral complexions, pairing well with warm or cool platinum highlights or balayage techniques. This incredible blonde was lifted using Blondor Plex babylights and a full head of 6% Lightener at roots, 4% Color Touch Emulsion for mid-lengths and ends, and then toned using Illumina Color 10/69 1.9% to avoid brassiness.
