Choose a Blonde Shade for Your Skin Tone
One of the most important factors to consider when choosing a new blonde hair shade is your skin tone. Your skin tone can help us to determine which shades of blonde will look best on you.
If you have fair skin with cool undertones, then ash or beige blonde shades may work best for you. On the other hand, if you have warm undertones, then caramel blonde or strawberry blonde may be a more flattering choice.
Neutral skin tones can wear both warm and cool blondes, although we think that beige blonde is an ideal neutral hair colour.
What is Your Natural Hair Colour?
Your natural hair colour can also play a role in determining which blonde shade will work best for you, both in terms of your look and your maintenance needs.
If you have naturally darker hair, then a platinum blonde shade may take longer to achieve whilst maintaining the condition of your hair. Platinum blonde hair also requires a lot of maintenance to look fresh. In this case, you may want to opt for warmer shades of blonde such as honeyed blondes, golden blonde or caramel tones, which will blend better with your natural hair colour and require less maintenance.
Consider Your Personal Style
When choosing a new blonde hair colour, it's essential to consider your individual style. Do you love turning heads with a bold look, or do you prefer a more natural hair colour?
If you want to make a statement, then a bold platinum blonde or even a pretty pastel shade may be the perfect choice for you. However, if you prefer a natural, more lived-in look, then darker golden blondes using techniques such as balayage highlights may work best for you.
Healthy Coloured Hair
When choosing a new blonde hair colour, it is important to consider how to safely lift your hair colour without causing damage to your hair. We always recommend adding Wellaplex to your hair colour service. Wellaplex is a bond building treatment which protects and strengthens the hair during the lightening process. It allows us to lift your hair colour further without compromising the health of your hair.
If you hair is already damaged we can recommend Wellaplex as a stand alone treatment to repair your hair. We also offer a wide range of in-salon hair treatments which can target any concerns you may have about your hair.
Book a Consultation With a Martin and Phelps Expert
Ultimately, the best way to find your perfect blonde hair shade is to consult with a Martin and Phelps professional colourist. We can assess your individual needs and help you choose a shade that will complement your skin tone, natural hair colour and lifestyle. Your colourist can also provide expert advice on the best products to use at home to help you keep your new blonde locks looking healthy and vibrant.
