The Lighter Side – Blonde Hair Types

Though fall is just around the corner, it’s still not too late to introduce a little blonde into your life. But instead of your routine blonde highlights, consider an eye catching blonde pattern that accentuates your natural skin tone. While the hues of blonde hair are endless, here are a few ways to spice up your blonde this year before it’s too late.

PLATINUM BLONDE

So what’s cooler than cool, platinum blonde. Platinum blonde isn’t anything new, but it sure seems like more and more celebrities are going for this white hot color effect. Platinum blonde can range from pale gold to icy white to a bubbly champagne color. If your skin tone is cool or fair platinum blonde may be for you. Just remember with platinum blond a purple shampoo will be needed to help neutralize the brassiness and brighten up your hair color.

GOLDEN BLONDE

For a more natural looking result choose golden blonde. Though shades of golden blonde can vary, this color looks best with fair skin tones. Golden blonde is great for someone who is already a dark blonde and just wants a slight change. This timeless color adds a sense of youthfulness to those who just want to go a little lighter. If you can imagine the your hair capturing the sun, that’s the effect a golden blonde can have on your hair.

HONEY BLONDE

Similar to golden blonde but with slightly more light tones is honey blonde. Honey blonde hair is great for neutral to darker complexions and easier to maintain than platinum blonde.

BRONDE

If you have fair skin then Bronde may be your best choice. Bronde is neither brunette nor blonde but rather the mixture of both. Bronde is beautiful because of the natural looking warmer roots and cascading buttery highlights. When the roots remain slightly darker the color provides a richness and contrast that blends naturally with your skin. But don’t be sad if you’re now referred to as a brunette.

While the shades of blonde hair are endless, understanding which shade will accentuate your beauty best begins with knowing your skin tone. Just remember if your skin tone is fair then lighter shades of blonde will look best while ladies with dark skin look best with darker shades of blonde. These are just a few of the possibilities if you’re looking for that next big change. So remember go light this year, as it’s still not too late to go lighter and shine brighter.
