Thinking about going Blonde? Here is what you need to know!

Thinking of colouring your hair blonde? There's many different blonde shades to choose from, there are also many different transformations of blondes. Whether it is a few subtle baby-lights or a total transformation from dark natural hair to a platinum blonde. Or just to liven up already -blonde tresses, how would you know whats right for you?

Tips To Consider.

Generally it's best to stay within 2 levels of your natural hair when colouring your hair blonde. Many times I've had to break that rule for clients that have wanted to go from a dark brown to a platinum blonde.

Consider your eye colouring. Some shades of blonde are best with green, blue or hazel eyes. Other shades of blonde are best with light, dark or black eyes. Your skin tone has alot to consider when picking out the best blonde for you. Do you have fair, medium or dark skin?

Blondes come in different shades:

Plantium blonde being the lightest. To keep platinum blonde from looking bright I would recommend, Milkshake Purple Shampoo to neutralize the yellow tones in between salon visits. This colour is best on fair or medium skin tones, Any eye tone can wear this shade.

Light Ash Blonde,

Light Ash blonde hair colour is a whiter shade with an ashy greyish shade to it. It's best for lighter skin with a lighter eye tone.

Natural Blonde,

Natural blonde hair colour is best described as a sun kissed look. It would be a shade that compliments your own natural colour, as it grows out, it will be very low maintenance. This could be done on any skin tone and eye colouring.

Strawberry Blonde,
