Are you a blonde at heart, but not sure which shade will look best on you? Maybe you’re a natural blonde looking for a subtle change? The Olivia’s Secret Hair & Beauty team is here to help you find your perfect blonde match!
Finding Your Skin’s Undertone
Your skin’s undertone plays a significant role in determining which blonde shade will look best on you. Undertones can be warm, cool or neutral and identifying which category you fall under can help you make the right colour choices.
One easy way to determine your undertone is by examining the veins on the inside of your wrist. If your veins appear blue or purple, you likely have cool undertones, while if they appear green, you likely have warm undertones. If you see a combination of both blue and green, you probably have neutral undertones.
Another way to identify your undertone is by paying attention to which colours suit you best. If you tend to wear warm earthy tones like yellows, oranges and golds, you likely have warm undertones. If you look best in cool colours like blues, purples and silvers, you probably have cool undertones.
Cool, Warm And Neutral Undertones
Now that you’ve determined your undertone, take the following recommendations into account; those in the cool club will suit ashy shades, including Scandinavian blonde, platinum blonde and silver. On the other hand, those with warm skin tones should opt for earthy or golden shades. Neutral undertones can pull off most blonde shades, so if you fall into this category, try experimenting with warm and cool tones to find your ideal colour and enhance your natural beauty.
Natural Hair Colour
When determining how blonde you want to go, consider your natural hair colour and opt for a shade that blends well. For example, if you’re a natural brunette, keep your roots dark to create a shadow effect. This will allow the blonde colour to look good for longer without being negatively impacted by regrowth.
Fair Skin Tones
Those with fair skin tones can pull off most blonde shades, but they look especially great in:
- Platinum blonde
- Strawberry blonde
- Butter blonde
- Champagne blonde
- Sandy blonde
Medium Skin Tones
Lucky you; if you have a medium skin tone, you have a wider range of blonde shades to choose from. We recommend:
- Golden blonde
- Rose gold blonde
- Ashy blonde
- Barbie blonde
- Golden beige blonde
- Bronde
Dark Skin Tones
Blonde shades with dark skin tones create a stunning, contrasting look, ranging from dramatic, bold statement to subtle highlights. We recommend:
- Honey blonde
- Caramel blonde
- Ginger blonde
- Silver blonde
- Chestnut blonde
Maintenance Tips
No matter which blonde shade you choose, it’s important to maintain it properly to keep your hair looking healthy and vibrant. A few tips to keep your blonde looking its best include:
- Use a purple shampoo to keep brassy tones at bay.
- Deep condition your hair once a week to keep it nourished and healthy.
- Avoid using hot tools on your hair too often.
- Get regular trims to keep your ends healthy and prevent split ends.
