Are you looking for a new hairstyle? Then again, a regular haircut still seems unfulfilling. Have you ever considered getting your hair dyed? Yet, at the same time, you don’t want to draw too much attention to the trending pinks and blues, do you? Perhaps, you’re unsure of what color would look best on you.
Let me tell you a little tidbit. Blonde hair colors are perfect for those who want to change their appearance now and then without being overly dramatic. When you go blonde, your options are endless, ranging from Icy Silver to Rich Honey.
Just to let you know, most salons are running at 50% capacity due to the pandemic, so keep in mind that it will be harder to schedule your monthly touch-up. Therefore, today we will look at the ten best classic blonde shades suitable for every skin tone that can withstand the test of time for three months without a touch-up.
CARAMEL BALAYAGE
The gorgeous shade of blonde uses a particular hair coloring technique that blends beautifully into light blonde or even dark brown hair. Generally, it appears under light-dark shades of blonde, especially those with a warmer tone. The maintenance level for this shade is minimal, depending on how far you stray from your natural color and your choice of lowlights and shadows. It is a great option to maintain a dashing and beautiful look.
MEDIUM ASH ON BRUNETTE
This shade of blonde has darker roots and a hint of gray, giving an ashy or smokey tone. Today Ash-blonde hair colors are all over Instagram and Pinterest boomers. Traditionally, ash-blonde shades are on the cooler tones and could seem too bright for some. If perhaps you’re looking for something more subtle, these various ash shades might surprise you with a shadow of regular blondes and brunettes. And, it will give you a cool-chic look.
RICH HONEY
The rich honey tone is a blend of dark and light blonde. It reduces the yellow undertones of blonde hair to more golden hues. The color gets its nickname from having similar shades to actual honey made by honeybees and has been popular on fashion blogs and social media. Besides, it also gives a smooth, silky, and luxurious finish your hair needs. Keep the strands around your face brighter for a more radiant and dazzling look.
TRUE PLATINUM BLONDE
Platinum blonde is the most glamorous and alluring color of all. Since the appearance of Emilia Clarke from the series Game of Thrones, it has topped the charts for fashion hair-color trends. But it is not for someone new to hair colors. Try this shade only when you are 100% sure about it and know a hairstylist who is experienced in it since it is difficult to achieve this look. Besides, if you are not confident in your hairstylist and are unfamiliar with their work, you might damage your hair at a high cost. Of course, it also depends on how you pull it off with your overall appearance. I generally had this color for almost a year, and I loved it for a change. So, if you have never tried platinum before and are not new to experimenting with hair, I recommend this as your best option. You can wear this hair color casually and elegantly, depending on your lip shade and makeup.
MEDIUM CHAMPAGNE
So, you cannot risk going platinum yet? Not to worry, I got you covered!! Add some sparkle and volume to your life with this champagne blonde. Champagne color has various shades, but the light-medium Champagne blonde is right in the middle and has almost an ethereal fairy-tale vibe. It creates a calming effect. The color combines warm and cool shades, making it look good on every skin tone. Your hair will definitely get you a little in the spotlight.
SPARKLING AMBER
This hair color seems especially popular among working women and students due to its manageable efforts and low maintenance. The warm shade is easily customizable and features notes of red, gold, and orange tones. Again, this color has a lovely soft yet warm undertone that will give you a gorgeous, sleek, and trendy look. I’m seriously crushing this look at the moment.
CLASSIC BUTTERY BLONDE
Bronde-Blonde is somewhat in-between brown and blonde; if you add a little buttery effect to it, it is nothing less than icing on the cake. Whether your hair color is black or brunette, or if you are new to blonde and do not want to commit to frequent touch-ups, I suggest you go ahead and take this route. A darker root means less upkeep, but the golden buttery hue also gives it a pleasant brightness. It will enhance your sex appeal to your overall appearance.
CREAMY MUSHROOM
Ashier bronde is the trendiest shade of 2021 and sits midway between light brown and dark blond. It doesn’t necessarily fall into either blonde or brunette, making it the perfect choice for blondes looking to dip their toes into the dark side or even brunettes wanting to go a little lighter. You need to ask for an ashy mushroom or one with a creamy texture to get the right color. Otherwise, you will end up with a more traditional bronde. This shade is super flattering for darker eyes.
CASUAL BEACH BLONDE
The casual beachy iconic blonde is bright but looks natural as if you spent the entire day in the sun. The darkness at the roots gives it a more believable look. It is a complete summer makeover that you have been waiting to have!! The sun-kissed highlights and natural shadows, combined with low lights, will definitely get you more compliments on the street.
BUTTERSCOTCH OMBRE
The shade resembles the candy it is named after. It features a warm base lacing golden tones. Meanwhile, the ombre is an effect just like balayage. However, the ombre is more horizontal while the balayage is vertical. Ombre can be either dramatic or not – based on how you style it. The combination of butterscotch ombre is like adding a posh accent to your hair color.
