Ash Blonde
Ash blonde is a cool-toned light shade that suits most complexions, especially those with light to medium skin tones and blue or green eyes. Celebrities like Jennifer Aniston, Naomi Watts, Kate Hudson, and Cara Delevingne, have worn this look with stunning results. However, discussing your coloring options with your stylist if you have warm or olive skin tones is essential, as cool shades can wash out or alter strands instead of appearing neutral.
