1: Pearl blonde full-head colour
For the more adventurous blondes, a pastel-inspired platinum shade is the go-to look. Your hairdresser will achieve this pearlescent mane by threading pink, blue or lavender tones through a cool, white blonde. A violet shampoo is essential to maintaining this whimsical hair colour.
2: Sun-kissed, blonde beach waves
This shade of blonde has ‘beach babe’ written all over it. A blend of warm-toned highlights and babylights are placed where the sun naturally lightens the hair, to give these blonde locks a sun-kissed touch, while darker shades keep the roots easy to maintain and the lights looking natural.
3: Nude-blonde full-head colour
Blank-canvas nude is the shade of choice for those who want a classic, warm, platinum blonde. Clean, neutral and super sophisticated.
4: Icy, ashy blonde
Exhibiting blue undertones, this cold, ashy blonde with white and silver hues is perfect for those who like the glamorous look. Keep it cool by regularly treating with a silver shampoo, and you’ll be serving ice queen all winter long.
5: Soft, strawberry-blonde layers
Sporting white-blonde highlights through choppy layers and a winning money piece, this strawberry blonde blowout is guaranteed to turn heads. A warming hair colour that suits those with fairer skin tones, its golden undertones will glisten in summer sun.
6: Bronde balayage
Balayage is the perfect colour treatment for blonde first-timers, introducing soft, light layers while maintaining a natural root. This technique achieves a multidimensional combo of brunette and blonde, so you can get the best of both worlds.
7: Buttery blonde ombré
Looking for a shade of blonde that is rich in flavour? Try a buttery blonde ombré, layering sunny, yellow shades over a sandy-blonde base colour. This technique makes the look entirely customisable so you can be as vibrant as you want.
8. Vibrant, vanilla blonde
If head-turning blonde is your style, opt for this stunning shade that reminds us of vanilla ice cream on a hot summer’s day, complete with metallic finish. Best suited to warm complexions, vanilla blonde looks good enough to eat.
9: Warm, honey blonde
Darker shades of blonde are a showstopper on short locks, which is why we love this rich honey hue: a melting pot of amber, chestnut and golden shades. The subtle nod to copper in this deep, warm blonde also helps it rack up style points.
10: Creamy, sandy blonde
This cascading sandy-blonde ‘do combines dusty and platinum tones for a positively glowing finish. With beige leading the colour palette, the look stays down-to-earth and natural.
