How To Get Ash Blonde Hair? Follow These Steps to Achieve Here
If you’re going to go lighter, you might as well go for something a little less conventional. While the hues at the very end of the spectrum are often brazen and brassy, this middle shade brings just enough color without being too bright. Here’s how to get ash blonde hair:
- Go lighter. If you’re going to go lighter, you might as well go for something a little less conventional. While the hues at the very end of the spectrum are often brazen and brassy, this middle shade brings just enough color without being too bright. Here’s how to get ash blonde hair:
- Tone with purple shampoo or conditioner once a week if necessary (but save it for when you actually have time). Toning products can help remove yellow tones from your hair if they look too brassy after getting your ash blonde highlights done by a professional (if not, skip this step). You can also do this at home with purple shampoo or conditioner every week if needed—just make sure not to overdo it!
- Keep up with regular D&C sessions until all traces of yellow have been removed from your new color—yellow is what gives platinum its off-putting appearance, so don’t skimp out on this step!
Chin-Length Hair
If you have chin-length hair, ash blonde is a great color for you. This length is easier to dye than longer lengths because it’s less likely to take on the color and become over-processed. And with less of your hair being in the dye bath, it requires less time and product. You can get an all-over dye job quickly and easily, while still achieving a natural look that could fool your friends into thinking this was just how your hair looked before!
If you want even more convenience, consider using our new Color WOW products at home with our new At Home Hair Color Kits! We have added more tones for blondes who want pinks or reds without damaging their locks (just like we did with our NEW Pink Glimmer Hues).
Medium-Length Hair
If you have medium-length hair, the process is a little more complicated than if you have short or long hair. The most important thing to remember is that it’s better to go from dark to light in multiple stages than one big jump. In other words, your goal should be to gradually increase the volume of developer and/or lift over time until your hair reaches its desired color (which will likely be somewhere between ashy and platinum).
The best way to do this is by using a higher volume developer—10% or even 15%. You can also get a root touch up at around 3 months post-dyeing if necessary.
The second step involves making sure that your shampoo and conditioner are color safe so as not to strip any pigment out of the ends of your strands. A good all-rounder product for blonde hair would be Olia 2 Light Blonde Hair Serum from L’Oréal Paris; it’s inexpensive but effective, has great reviews on Amazon (where I bought mine), and comes in different shades depending on how light or dark you want your shade!
Lastly: don’t forget about toners! They’re super helpful when trying out new colors because they help neutralize any unwanted brassy tones before they set into place permanently
Shoulder-Length Hair
For this look, you’ll be aiming for a mid-length style that falls anywhere between your chin and shoulders. This is a great length because it’s versatile enough to look good all year round, but still long enough that you can do anything with it—from straightening it out into loose curls to throwing it up into an elegant bun.
When styling shoulder-length hair, it’s important to have the right tool for the job. If your hair has natural curl or wave to it (or if you’re trying to grow out a perm), then using a curling iron will help enhance those natural waves while still giving you control over how much volume and body you want in your style. For straighter styles like pin-straight or wavy bobs, flat irons are great tools; they offer even heat distribution along your entire head of hair so that every strand gets conditioned evenly instead of just those at the ends or just around where your fingers were when styling them.”
Long hair
- Go to the salon for the first time
If you’re a newbie, it’s best to go to a professional salon and let them color your hair. They will help you choose the right color and product that will suit your skin tone. And if they apply too much bleach on your hair, they can correct it before applying more chemicals or toner.
- Use a toner
After coloring, use a toner after every wash so that darker parts of your hair get lighter while keeping its bright blonde appearance (if any). This is important because using excessive bleaching may damage some strands of your hair permanently, making them darker than others.
To get ash blonde hair, you should take gradual steps to avoid damaging your hair.
You should take gradual steps to avoid damaging your hair. If you want to go lighter, you can do so gradually as well.
- If you have long hair, going from dark brown to blonde is more difficult than someone with short or medium length hair. However, if this is what you want then it’s best to avoid taking any risks or using harsh chemicals that may damage your strands and cause breakage.
- You could opt for a balayage look instead of going fully blonde because this will give your locks an ashier tinge without stripping all of their color away at once. This option won’t be as dramatic but will still give amazing results!
