(Tap or Swipe) Instagram @hair_salon_by_hadis #1: Statement-Making Ashy BlondeIf you love blonde hair colors but want to explore more variation, this ashy blonde tone might be just the color for you. The tan tones work wonders for a flexible look. It’s perfect for women with medium skin tones. Instagram @georgeeblancoo #2: Bright & Soft Blonde WavesTry a bright, soft blonde using the balayage technique. It’s a very soft look because the roots are kept more natural for a sun-kissed appearance. This beach blonde is perfect for ladies with dark hair looking for a change. This soft blonde is also great if you’re looking for a lower maintenance color, as well as wanting to add more dimension and amp up your hair! Instagram @brushedtoblonde #3: Dreamy Silver Blonde HairA silver blonde look is dream hair! Unicorn blonde hair, dreamy cascading waves of creamy white blonde. If you’re a low-maintenance girl it would be great to keep this color as healthy as possible. It requires as little heat as possible – the more it’s air-dried, the better. On the other hand, this color is pretty high-maintenance to keep the tone. You’ll need constant purple shampooing, constant toner, and trim appointments to keep your hair healthy. Don’t forget, white blonde is fragile! Instagram @taichisuzuki #4: Light Golden Blonde Hair with Wispy BangsYour hair will sparkle with light golden blonde hair with wispy bangs. Blonde and honey hues will bring warmth to your face and make your hair sparkle and shine. If you want super shiny locks, golden tones are the way to go. Gold tones are light reflective and will make you glow. Instagram @hairbydanadyer #5: Creamy Blonde on Medium-Length HairCreamy vanilla blonde on mid-length hair is a personal favorite. I always recommend my clients add dimension to their blonde. This creates a brighter blonde base and adds the slightest bit of warmth in order not to look washed out and dull. Your look wouldn’t be complete without soft, effortless waves with a mist of texture spray. Instagram @lzrd.didthat #6: Neutral Blonde with Face-Framing HighlightsFreshen up your locks with a neutral blonde color and face-framing highlights. A natural color blonde like this is easily obtained when your natural roots are on the lighter side. Face-framing highlights are perfect for women looking to brighten up their complexion and have a dramatic pop of color right in the front. Instagram @hairlamartine #7: Layered Pixie with a Medium Blonde ShadeA pixie is a fresh low-maintenance look that works best on fine hair with its choppy layers adding texture and dimension. Go with a medium blonde shade and add some warm highlights. This shade is just the perfect complement to a layered pixie. For blonde to really pop, use a little pomade to your ends for a fun, chic look. Instagram @nikitenko_elen_ #8: Cool-Toned Blonde on Pixie Bob HairAsk for a cool-toned blonde on pixie bobbed hair for your next adorable trending color. For those with finer hair, a pixie bob can add a lot of volume. Blonde shades compliment a short style and add a statement with just a small amount of product. Instagram @dmjocelyn_ #9: Bronde Balayage and Beach WavesGet beautiful dimension with a bronde balayage paired with beach waves. Balayage blonde hairstyles look natural and have multi-dimensional tones. Your mane will appear brighter and lusher. Ask your stylist for a natural-looking bronde balayage to keep your locks low-maintenance and fresh. Instagram @morris_salon_taranto #10: Dimensional Light Blonde and Brown TonesDimensional light blonde and brown tones look so beautiful on any skin color. For a low-maintenance color, a touch-up would only have to be done every few months or so. I personally love breaking up darker colors with blonde hair pieces for eye-popping contrast. Instagram @jhonattan0215 #11: Dark Roots with Vanilla Cream HighlightsDark roots with vanilla creamy highlights are perfect for women that want white blonde hair but need to be in the salon less often. This lovely hue, inspired by vanilla bean, is a very light shade of cool neutral. Expect to be in the salon every 12 weeks for touch-ups. Instagram @hairart_ola #12: Rich and Cool Beige Blonde ColorAsk for a rich and cool beige blonde color for a stunning Hollywood style. Flattering on almost anyone, a beige tone is the perfect neutral color. In this look, adding a soft wave can add a glam shine, only enhancing your blonde. Instagram @mowhair #13: Brunette Lob with Glossy Blonde HighlightsTry a modern yet classic brunette lob with glossy blonde highlights. Beautiful on fine to medium hair, highlights add a unique contrast that is just as chic as a balayage style. Adding shine will only enhance your color. Instagram @hairbylisamathews #14: Super Chic Platinum BlondeTo keep it interesting, go for a long platinum blonde hair color and do soft curls to reflect shine. If you need extra inspiration, know that Emma Stone transformed her red hair to this perfect shade of platinum white blonde, and it’s super chic! Instagram @belle.blossom0 #15: Stunning Honey Blonde HighlightsHoney blonde highlights are a great choice for women with sun-kissed medium skin tones. Honey blonde is an amazing mix of brown and blonde hair. This makes it a great color if you’re wanting something not too overly dramatic, but noticeable. Instagram @locksbylaurynn #16: Subtle Dishwater Blonde WavesDishwater blonde is a mix between a very subtle blonde and an extremely light brown. It’s very easy to tweak this color slightly to adjust to your skin’s undertones, so talk with your colorist before you commit to this one. This is another very sun-kissed look for summer, which requires very low maintenance. Instagram @aerysalon_henry #17: Baby Blonde Color with a Buttery UndertoneBaby blonde color is very close in shade to platinum, but with a little more of a buttery undertone. This is a great all-over color if you’re trying to appear naturally younger, but not in the sense of blending grays. This is great if you do not like to see extremely bright/light hues of color. If paired with darker hair, this color can create extremely high dimension. Instagram @hair_salon_by_hadis #18: Dimensional Dirty Blonde HairDirty blonde hair, is a medium-level blonde with a hint of brown in the toner. This specific shade is great if you have a warmer skin tone. This is typically a shade that is easily achieved when lightening darker hair. This color creates a beautiful single movement in darker hair and dimension in already naturally lighter hair. Instagram @aycahairart #19: Natural-Looking Honey BlondeHoney blonde is a beautiful mix of golden blonde and a touch of brown. This specific shade is very easily customizable, to enhance a range of different skin tones. This is a great color choice that you can use in many different hair ideas, to create a very sunkissed, natural highlighted illusion. Instagram @luizasemeniuc #20: Popular Light Strawberry Blonde HairLight strawberry blonde hair has become a popular choice in the blonde shade range. This controlled warmth gives fair and medium complexions a golden glow and can further enhance eye color. The hair color works well no matter your hair texture or length. You can customize it with more red, coppers, or golden blonde hues. Instagram @craftcollective_ #21: Radiant Bleached Blonde with LowlightsMake your blonde shade even more radiant by adding lowlights in several places. This results in a dimensional effect with additional beige blonde hues. Adding lowlights is a great way to bring life to blonde that has taken on a washed-out, dull appearance. Instagram @jazebell__ #22: Gradient Blonde for BrunettesTransitioning from a dark base to lighter ends adds a beautiful dimension for brunettes. Lighter ends are a great way for you to get the feel of being blonde without all the commitment. You can add more or less blonde or darker pieces at each appointment to personalize your hair color each and every time. Instagram @salonbellapelo #23: Peach-y Blonde HueA full highlight with a beautiful peachy tint gives a woman a blonde shade that is not too warm nor too cool. When deciding on the correct tone for your blonde hair, a thorough consultation is key. Skin tone is definitely something to consider when looking at different blonde tones. Instagram @daniellabenita #24: Wearable Chestnut Blonde HairChestnut is the perfect blonde shade for the woman who likes their blonde locks but wants to venture out to a little darker side. Adding in chestnut or a brown blonde shade of lowlights is a great first step when taking your blonde slightly darker. If lowlights don’t create the depth you’re looking for, a darker toner would be an excellent next step to achieve your shade of blonde. Adding in darker pieces slowly is the ideal way to change color without going too drastic right away. Instagram @kultura_moscow #25: Ravishing Dark BlondeBeauty is truly in the eye of the beholder but for this soft dark blonde color, you won’t get mistaken for anything less than ravishing. Going for this color is ideal to lighten up your natural brown hair. With this balayage effect, you will have a beautiful low-maintenance style. Instagram @michaela.mstyling #26: Low-Maintenance Champagne BlondeTry a stunning champagne blonde with a shadow root if you want to be blonde, but don’t want the maintenance. This allows you to go months instead of weeks between visits without losing the brightness every blonde wants. Don’t be afraid of warmth as going with an ash blonde can actually make your blonde appear darker. You need gold to reflect light, so often times the ash blonde appears darker because they do not reflect light. Instagram @hollypbeauty #27: Hand-Painted Golden HighlightsThis beautiful golden blonde balayage has hand-painted blonde highlights. It’s a very low-maintenance color and can also be perfect if you’re new to coloring your hair. This color will work with most hair lengths. It will look beautiful with beachy waves, curls, and straight. If you like a little brightness around the face you can always add some babylights or a bolder highlight in the front. Instagram @nadasalon_ #28: Polished Gold BlondeI love everything about this blonde hairstyle. Ash, silver, and cool blondes are very popular, but this golden blonde tone is stunning and glowing. Don’t be scared of warm blondes! They are so beautiful on so many skin tones. Instagram @catallyn #29: Youthful Rose Gold Blonde HairRose gold blonde hair is very wearable. The blonding can be done with a mix of balayage and a baby foiling technique. After the lightness is achieved I suggest you glaze your hair in a pinky rose gold blonde color. This makes it uniquely customized and fun, yet keeps you looking professional. The lob haircut (long bob) is great for pretty much every face shape and age range. You should know that soft hues do tend to fade quickly so be prepared for frequent toning. Instagram @krystalclairehair #30: Healthy-Looking Strawberry BlondeStrawberry blonde hair is meant to draw on your natural undertones and give an ethereal glow. If your goal is a low-maintenance color, try a sun-kissed balayage to complement the natural tones in your dirty blonde hair. The depth in the crown against the brighter V points of the strawberry blonde balayage looks amazing. Appreciate your natural beauty and seek to enhance the canvas you have, rather than change it. Healthy hair is the best hair! Instagram @prestige_salon_spa #31: Creamy Butter Blonde Hair ColorA butter creamy blonde bombshell without waves looks very similar to a Barbie blonde hue. Although it’s a bright blonde hue, it still looks natural with such a dark base because it has so much dimension in it. If you’re naturally a medium brown shade, ask for full blonde highlights every four to six weeks. In the end, you’ll be able to go longer between appointments and only do partial blonde highlights every six to eight weeks. Instagram @anastasiiia_korzhova #32: Long and Straight Sleek Blonde HairLong and straight blonde hair looks best as a heavy balayage. Use a purple shampoo if you’re one of those women trying to keep their blonde hair ashy and vibrant. A balayage looks great on women trying to stay away from a six-week maintenance schedule. The skin types for this tone of hair would be more on the pale side. Instagram @tyler_the_hairstylist #33: Casual Warm Blonde ToneThis is the type of hair, with a warm blonde tone, suits women with fair skin. The warm blonde color is not that damaging – so it’s friendly if you’re a brunette. The warm blonde tones are complimentary on most skin tones and will keep blonde from looking dull. Instagram @lisaherofficial #34: Sun-Kissed Vanilla Blonde HairGo for a blonde hair color that’s natural and sun-kissed. The soft blend along with the vanilla blonde tones looks stunning. Balayage is for women who like a more natural and low-maintenance look. When you get highlights, the re-growth is a more solid line. Whereas a balayage has a softer blend that doesn’t go right to the root, enabling a more natural grow-out. A white/olive skin tone can really be complimented nicely with vanilla/icy tones. Instagram @lizelehensonhair #35: Luscious Caramel BlondeLowlights and dark tips make a blonde style more dimensional, creating a luscious caramel blonde shade. This style is stunning and trendy and not your typical way to do blonde making it a bold statement on your long hair. You also can get away with doing partial retouches with the blonde only being on the top of the head. Instagram / @cosmopaulogist #36: Inspiring Icy BlondeThis is one of my favorite blonde hair colors due to its cool, icy tone. The ash blonde color is a perfect way to blend your roots as you start to grey. I always recommend my blonde clients use a purple toning shampoo to maintain the look. Instagram / @heysisterbulimba #37: Gorgeous Ash Blonde CurlsA soft caramel to ash blonde highlighted ombré is created using a micro foiling technique through the root to the mid-length area. Then, freehand lightened from the mid-lengths to ends. A light ash blonde hair is well suited to a warm skin tone (yellow/golden/peach undertone). This look can still work if you have a cooler skin tone with an adjustment of tone on the blonde. Instagram @struss_roserussell #38: Rooted & Bright BlondeThis is a rooted, yet soft bright blonde on a short bob haircut. Even on a pixie cut dyed with this color, the result will still look awesome! I love the pale and buttery tones paired with a supernatural placement. This look is great if you’re a blonde that wants to be very bright with a more natural and lower maintenance feel. It’s also great if you’re a naturally “dirty blonde” who no longer wants to be a slave to foils. Instagram @hirohair #39: Remarkable Buttery BlondeTry a beautiful buttery blonde hair color. It has multiple tones of blonde. Your stylist will want to use different shades of high-lift blonde to achieve this dimensional look. To blow out your hair, use the J Beverly Hills platinum blonde line. Instagram @cocoon_styling #40: Natural-Looking Blonde BalayageGo for a natural-looking blonde balayage with a little dimension. The best thing about this look is it’s such a low-maintenance hairstyle, yet it always looks new and fresh. It’s also recommended if you want that natural but sun-kissed look! If you have more of a tan complexion tend to pull off a warm balayage best. If you have a fair complexion, it tends to make a cool blonde balayage look great. Instagram @merrisweetstylist #41: Shiny & Luminous Balayage BlondeThe dark roots get a splash of light from golden blonde balayage, making your tresses look super shiny and luminous. Going for a balayage technique allows you to space out your color appointments. Instagram / @hairbyjpark #42: Seamless Light Blonde with Heavy FoilsThis look is for you if you can’t let go of that light blonde hair achieved by heavy foils, but also want an easy maintenance color. This technique of babylights and babylows provides the bright pops of blonde with a little dimension. Doing a small smudge of the dark roots will soften the foil lines and allow your hair to grow out seamlessly. This provides longevity between color appointments and requires very little maintenance. In 8-10 weeks, a fresh smudge and tone will be needed to freshen your color. Provide another 6-8 weeks before needing to completely start fresh. Instagram @kl.hairartist #43: Textured Blonde Balayage with Dark RootsA rooty blonde balayage has dimension, and texture and is created via hand painting balayage. This is a great look if you’re wanting that sun-kissed look without being in the sun all summer. Since it’s a grown-out rooty look, it’s easy for you to maintain for more than four to six weeks. It’s a great look for full, thick hair as color is used to break up the thickness with depth and dimension. Instagram @justinandmarkhairfactory #44: Trendy Blonde BangsAdding bangs to blonde hair colors is super trendy. Products are very important to maintain your hair after you leave the salon. To maintain your blonde strands at home, use Davines Alchemic Silver shampoo to help cancel out any brassy tones you may get from washing. Instagram / @joannehstylist #45: Rooty Blonde Babylights and FoilayageConsider a rooty blonde with babylights and foilayage through your entire head. When it grows out, your hair will blend in nicely with your natural base and could last up to months if maintained properly. I recommend Moroccan oil on the ends to keep your hair hydrated, and a color-safe shampoo and conditioner to keep the color last. Instagram @hairstefani #46: Yummy Butterscotch BlondeButterscotch blonde hair color has hints of honey blonde tones. Everything takes time if you want it done right, so first discuss your level of maintenance with your stylist. Also when lightening your hair, you want to make sure that you go at a slow pace to maintain the integrity of your hair. Instagram @shelbybaldwinbeauty #47: Luxurious Golden BlondeA thick, wavy coat of golden blonde hair deserves only the most luxurious of blondes. Using the right products for your golden honey blonde hair definitely makes a huge difference with upkeep! I recommend you use original minerals to conquer blonde shampoo and conquer blonde mask. Instagram @xcellent_jessie #48: Very Popular Ice White Blonde HairThis is the ice white/platinum blonde tint that everyone is dying for right now! The best thing about it is the really light pieces that seem to be almost glowing. A lot of women wait until summer to go lighter, but with this look being so icy, it’s perfect for winter as well. I suggest you use a purple shampoo to help the tone from turning yellow. Also, use a heat protectant and oil because lifting your hair to that level can be extremely damaging. Instagram @hair_by_joscelyn #49: Head-Turning Sandy BlondeThis sandy blonde hair color is a grainier and more ashy shade of blonde. The beauty in this color is the softness it creates and can brighten your pale skin tone. The darker root keeps you from being too washed out. Instagram @dianaleehair #50: Customized Mushroom BlondeMushroom blonde hair colors are quickly becoming extremely popular with no sign of fading any time soon. Mushroom tones are more neutral cool tones without being overly ashy. Mushroom blonde can work with any skin tone and can be customized to work with any hair texture. Readers Also Ask
