HAIR COLOURS FOR NATURAL BLONDE HAIR
How to choose your hair dye when you have naturally blonde hair
Is your natural hair blonde? Lucky you! Blonde hair is a fair shade commonly found in Northern Europe, but it also appears in other parts of the world. It comes in so many variations: golden blonde, strawberry blonde, platinum blonde, ash blonde…
Even if your blonde shade is already beautiful, you might feel like giving it more dimension or playing with tone. And I’m here to help you do just that, without losing your natural charm.
Sometimes, a few subtle highlights or a soft balayage can make all the difference. You can go slightly lighter or darker, or simply add warm or cool undertones depending on your skin tone and eye colour. Let me share my best advice for finding the perfect hair colour match.
The best hair dye shades for natural blondes

When your natural colour is blonde, you’ll get the most natural and flattering results by choosing a shade that’s close to your base. I recommend staying within 1 to 2 levels above or below your natural tone. For example, if your hair is light blonde (level 8), colours between dark blonde (6) and platinum blonde (10) are ideal.
Remember, the base colour sets the tone, but the undertone or reflect adds character and glow. Don’t underestimate the power of golden, ash or pearl highlights to brighten your hair and make your features pop.

Enhance your eye colour with the right hair tone
Your eye colour can completely transform how a hair colour looks on you. I’ve seen golden blonde bring out the glow in green or hazel eyes, while ash blonde gives a cool contrast that makes blue eyes look more intense.
Let’s not overlook this detail. When your hair colour flatters your eye colour, the whole look becomes more alive and balanced. Take a moment to consider it before your next hair dye.

Find the right harmony with your skin
Just like your eyes, your skin tone is a key part of creating a harmonious result. If you have very fair skin, you may want to go for icy blondes or pearly tones. If your complexion is fair but warmer, vanilla or honey tones can be just perfect.
The right colour doesn’t scream for attention. It brings softness, radiance and cohesion to your overall look. And trust me, when you find that perfect match, you’ll feel it every time you look in the mirror.
