seeing blonde, tips before you bleach

Whether you are hiding from an international mob boss or simply thinking about switching up your look, we have a few tips for those out there who are thinking about going blonde

We all know blondes have more fun (lol jk we all know hair colour doesn’t matter), but regardless of your reasons for brightening up those chocolate locks you’re going to need to need to walk into the salon prepared with an idea of what is going to look best for your personal style & skin type.

FAIR SKIN
Mirror mirror on the wall who’s the fairest of them all…. we all know Snow White rocked that raven coloured bob, but with her complexion platinum blonde would be the fairy tale colour for her!

Pair your new hair with bright red lips and even her majesty Marilyn Monroe would be jealous.

FAIR SKIN
GOLDEN

Blessed with dewy, fair/olive skin? A blonde mix of butter gold & honey is the perfect mix for your new mane as it looks relaxed and natural with your skin type, not bleached out or over-processed.

MEDIUM SKIN

Shake out your beachy waves and get ready to say hello to a Golden Ombre. Mix up some strawberry blonde with a subtle dark gradient, and BAM you have a bright new look that doesn’t look out of place next to your skin tone.

MEDIUM SKIN
HONEY

On the darker side of a Medium skin tone? Then honey blonde locks are for you. A hot tip, ask your stylist to leave your darker roots as your momma gave you – this will add dimension to the do and keep it from looking out of place.

DARK SKIN

Dark skin? Baby buttery blonde is what you’re looking for, a dimension of bombshell colour that has enough warmth and darkness in the base to pull it together. Hot tip for going from dark to blonde – take it easy! Lighten bit by bit over four to five appointments so your hair doesn’t betray you and turn orange.

DARK SKIN
GOLDEN

Warm brown skin? Try a natural honey-hued do. Leaving your roots dark and layering up the highlights like honeysuckle cake will ensure a dimensional match to your skin tone as well as making sure your skin doesn’t become washed out.
