1. What is your current hair color?

  • What is your current hair color?

If you’re a natural blond, it can be tempting to go for a lighter shade like platinum, but some colors are not as flattering on certain shades of hair—and this is where the color of your natural hair comes into play. If you have darker brown or black-colored strands and want to try something bolder like pink or blue, then that could actually work because those colors pop against darker shades. On the opposite end of the spectrum, if you have naturally light hair (think: ice white) then going dark with chestnut brown or jet black may not look great on you either! The best way to determine if your desired shade is right for your complexion?

It may seem overwhelming at first with so many options out there—but don’t be discouraged! Once you get familiarized with what each dye looks like on different types of shades (natural vs artificial), finding what works best becomes easier than ever before

2. Where does the color start on your hair? How far down is your natural root showing?

The root is the part of your hair that’s closest to your scalp. It’s important to know where you stand in terms of your roots when deciding what shade of blonde you want to dye, because if they are showing, it may be best for you to get a root touch up first.

3. What is your natural hair color?

The next step in finding your perfect blond shade is determining what your natural hair color is. After you’ve determined if you are cool, warm or neutral, there are a few other factors to consider:

  • Lightness: Are you a light blonde? Or maybe you have black hair but want to go a lighter shade?
  • Darkness: Are you looking for an ashy platinum blonde? Or do you want something that can be worn on its own without having to worry about fading out quickly?
  • Ashiness: Do you like the ashy tones of your natural hair color, or do they bother you enough that they need some help from some good dye work.

Color charts can be very helpful when trying to determine which colors might look best on different skin tones and eye colors. Ask any good stylist (or friend with great personal style) whose opinion matters most and listen closely because they know their stuff!

4. Do you want to cover grays or regrow your natural color?

  • If you want to cover grays, look for a blonde dye with a high percentage of blue-violet tones.
  • If you want to regrow your natural color, look for a dye that has copper and red tones in it.

5. Do you want to do an all over color or just highlights?

Do you want to do an all over color or just highlights?

Choosing the right one is important because they both have their pros and cons. All over color will make your hair darker, whereas highlights accentuate the natural lightness in your hair. Highlights can be more expensive, but they give you a more natural looking effect that blends in perfectly with your existing shade (so it’s not obvious when someone else looks at it). On the other hand, all over color is easy and quick, but if done incorrectly can look fake.

With these tips, choosing the right blonde for you will be a breeze!

You may be looking for a specific shade of blonde that’s not currently available in the salon, or you might want to try something different than your current hair color. Whatever the reason, here are some tips for choosing the best blonde for you:

  • Experiment with different shades and see which ones work best on your hair. If you’re looking for a drastic change, consider going from dark brown to platinum blonde. If you’d like a more subtle look, then try highlights or an all-over lightening treatment instead!
  • Highlighting can give even darker-haired people an easy way to switch up their look without going full-on light; however, it also has its drawbacks (namely expense). An alternative would be using a toner—a product that helps even out dyed hair while neutralizing yellow undertones—to tone down any remaining warmth before dyeing it again with another shade of blonde (or even adding highlights!). This strategy ensures that no matter what color(s) you choose next time around there won’t be any orange tones left behind!
