Blonde hair actually looks very varied. There are several standard names - forever beautiful platinum, gold, ash, wheat, strawberry blonde and light brown blonde.
But what’s interesting is that almost every season something new appears, some interesting undertone from famous stylists, because, despite the excessive popularity of light colors, girls always demand “something new.” This is understandable; everyone will get bored with constantly walking around with the same whitish braid. Therefore, we present to your attention the following stunning shades of blonde:
- Peach blonde
- Caramel
- Champagne
- Pink gold
- Strawberry blonde
Let's take a closer look at the latter. For many girls, this name does not mean anything, or the image of a beauty with pink and white curls is vaguely imagined in their heads. This is partly true, but it is clearly not the complete picture. I hope this tone will truly become a real discovery for many. Therefore, let’s discover the world with strawberry blonde on our heads!
Strawberry or peach?
Looking at the name strawberry blond, it seems that after coloring you should resemble a strawberry, but this is not always the case. His variations are truly impressive. But there are 2 main undertones - warm and cold. The warm tone is otherwise called rose gold, which can have a golden-red note, and the cool tone looks almost like a regular blonde, only with a small amount of quartz, often just pastel pink. And it is precisely this rose gold that gives the shimmer, similar to a peach, or, to be precise, like the blush on a peach received from the sun.
Let's find the perfect look for you!
It is important to understand that coloring according to color type is just recommendations that do not have to be followed at all. Always rely only on your feelings and give preference to the tone according to your desires. It’s better to look the way you personally want, admiring your curls in the mirror, than to dye your hair a color that supposedly suits you, but doesn’t attract you at all.
So, let's start looking for “our” strawberry blond. I hope you know your color type, but if not (although, believe me, this is a very important thing), then we’ll quickly determine it.
In total, there are 4 color types according to the seasons: spring, summer, autumn, winter. Carefully read the signs of each color type and decide which one suits your appearance.
People of “spring” are usually white-haired and fair-skinned, and often have freckles. The autumn type is characterized by a coppery glow to the skin, freckles, bright eyes and red hair. You belong to the summer color type if you have olive skin, gray eyes and ashy curls. “Winter” refers to dark-haired people with almost black eyes, and contrasting skin colors - either white porcelain skin or dark skin.
Now let’s get acquainted with the information about suitable shades in accordance with the color type.
Let's take an example from the stars and shine ourselves
A very unexpected surprise was the appearance of Salma Hayek in public with a current and fashionable coloring. Such a bold change in image attracted the attention of many. By the way, at this event Salma wore an airy black dress with contrasting embroidery on it, the color scheme matching her new hairstyle.
Maybe you should try to slightly diversify your usual appearance and also try on this version of blondness.
And here is a list of stars who decided to make such changes:
- Hailey Baldwin. Her shade is “pulled” using the balanage technique from her natural roots. It looks truly beautiful, and not childish at all.
- Katy Perry. Following the fashion trend, her blonde gently turns honey at the ends, which emphasizes the beauty of her eyes and face as a whole.
- Kesha. Her color option is truly good - combining “strawberry” with ash.
- Hillary Duff. Hilary emphasizes her natural blush with the chosen “strobery” blonde tone - a cool glow clearly suits her.
I hope that now you are finally convinced that many people with a sense of style incline their choice to this coloring. Maybe you should do the same?
Painting requirements
Before painting in any color, you should first get your hair in order. A bright hairstyle, slightly different from natural colors, attracts attention to itself, and at the same time to your face. Therefore, before you run to the hairdresser and ask for “that strawberry color”, worry about the condition of your curls and facial skin.
It is important to know that to achieve any type of blonde, lightening must first be done. After this procedure, which, unfortunately, is mandatory, your hair will not be in the best condition - it will become drier, and perhaps will fall out a little.
Advice!You must provide your hair with gentle care, use balms and special oils. Only in this case will you shine, because a healthy, well-groomed mane, and even in such a fashionable shade, will absolutely add charm and attractiveness to you.
Painting techniques
If you are considering only single-color lightening for yourself, without even knowing about other interesting painting techniques, then I hasten to tell you - ombre will be the ideal option for you if you do not want to suffer with regrown roots. Moreover, with the effect of regrown roots you will look as cute as possible, this effect is created thanks to ombre. The color of the mop seems to stretch out, gently moving from your natural to the blonde tone you have chosen.
There is a cool coloring option for those who are not ready for serious experiments, but want to bring a little brightness into their lives - contrast strands. This is also called highlighting. It is enough to color the front strands, and you are already much younger and fresher. Isn't this what every girl strives for?
If you want to bring a little lightness to your image, create a certain aura of playfulness, then your choice is rose gold.
The eternal problem of blondes is yellowness that appears over time. So many tears were shed due to the loss of the white shine of the curls and unsuccessful attempts to restore it.
But you can forget about this misfortune! Strawberry blonde looks great with dark roots and a little yellow. By the way, it may even be part of the original shade.
Oh yes, one more important point - the dye will not last forever. Yes, this is true, and you just have to come to terms with it. Already colored braids need to be tinted when the color saturation leaves much to be desired.
The advantage of color is its vibrancy and catchiness 
Just noticing that from the nth number of washes your braids have become dull, and the image no longer pleases you, then it’s time to color your hair again. True, this time you can use less potent products - tinted balms, mousses and gels. You can find out which tinted conditioner is right for you personally from the person who did your painting, or from a consultant at a cosmetics store.
Habitat: hairdresser
So, if you have decided to paint, have decided on the shade and are ready for all the unexpected, then half the battle is already done. Now all that’s left is to just move on to practice – go to a hairdresser or dye your braids yourself, more on this option a little later.
It is important to understand that everything will not be limited to one trip to the master.
Here is an approximate stage of working on your color:
- The hairdresser will bleach your length. This is necessary even if you are a natural blonde, because in this case the marshmallow dye will stick better. And if you are far from blonde, then you may need two lightenings.
- Applying a toner that gives you the tone you want.
Important knowledge of paint series will be useful to you if you want to explain to the master as clearly as possible what you want to get as a result.
So how do you determine the saturation of a tone?
Pay attention to the color number. 1 means darkest, close to black. And a ten indicates that this is the whitest paint. It's simple.
If you want to get a strawberry mark on your head, then choose a coloring agent from row 8 to 10. In any case, the master will tell you which suit suits you personally. Because if you have hair, for example, of the second row, then do not expect to become the owner of hair of the shade of the 10th row. In fact, it is possible, just incredibly difficult.
Self-transformation
If you don’t really trust hairdressers, but you yourself enjoy the dyeing process or for some other reason, but you decide to dye your hair yourself. Well, despite the slight complexity of the procedure, you can create beauty in your curls!
In the salon, you don’t have to choose the dye yourself and decide which one is better, the master will do everything for you. But when painting yourself, you need to clearly know which paint can fulfill your desire and give you the magnificent and desired color.
There are special formulations for home use that are as easy to use as possible. You just need to mix the ingredients in the dye box.
Let's do a little analysis of the strawberry blond paints on the market.
- L'Oreal Paris Sublime Mousse 822
L'Oreal Paris This paint will delight you with its easy and even application; the resulting mixture does not flow, which is very convenient when you paint yourself. Immediately get ready for the fact that the smell will not be the most pleasant, but this will be compensated by the result.
As a result, the hairs become shiny and soft, and not at all dry. The color of the dyed curls absolutely exactly matches what is stated on the packaging. Also, this dye can be used to neutralize yellowness for those with white hair.
- Indola professional Blonde Expert number 1000.32

- Krasa Faberlic 8.8
This paint is suitable for you if you want to end up with a basic peach tone with a red undertone. This is roughly how you can describe the blonde after you use the dye. Krasa does its job with a bang! The appearance of your hair is alive and healthy, so there is no need to worry about dryness and brittleness.
- Schwarzkopf BlondMe Toning Strawberry
This line is intended for fair-haired girls, but even if you are naturally dark brown, you can still get good results.
So, if you have a fair head, in every sense, then use 2% oxidizing balm together with this toner, and 6% oxidizing agent if you are a fair-haired beauty.
The main mistake, why the color did not turn out the way you imagined it, may be the method of application. Be sure to apply the resulting mixture only to a damp head, leaving it on for about 20 minutes. Only then will you get the perfect marshmallow color without damaging your beautiful curls.

You've probably wondered more than once what color to dye your hair to highlight your natural characteristics. For example, you wanted to go blonde, but how do you know which shade is more suitable - cold ash or golden wheat?
It turns out that it's all about the color type
Color type is a combination of eye color, skin tone and natural hair color. It is customary to distinguish four color types: Winter, Summer, Spring and Autumn, depending on which colors predominate in appearance - dark or light, cold or warm. For example, Winter and Summer are cold color types, and Spring and Autumn are warm. Just determine your color type and then feel free to choose the appropriate shade from the palette.
How to determine your color type?
Method 1 - experimental
- Pull your hair into a ponytail.
- Sit by the window.
- Take fabrics of the same colors as in the picture on the left.
- Apply different colors of fabrics to your face and see how you look.
- It’s easy to determine the appropriate colors: against their background, the face looks fresh and rested. If the color emphasizes all the imperfections or the face looks unhealthy, it is not yours. Keep this in mind when choosing your hair dye color!
The secret of Garnier expert creator Evgeniy Sedoy:
You can... change your color type. But it is important to remember one rule: you can only change your appearance from a warm color type to a warm one, and from a cold color type to a cold one. You can turn from Summer to Winter, and vice versa. And Spring can turn into Autumn.
Method 2 - according to the description of the color type.
Determine your color type by the color of your eyes, hair and skin tone, find out what color of clothes will suit you, and most importantly - what color to dye your hair to highlight your natural beauty!
Summer
The most common color type in Russia is easily recognized by pale or olive skin, but always of a cool shade. Even after a hot summer, she is covered with only a subtle tan. Hair - from light brown to chestnut, often light brown in childhood, darkens over the years, acquiring an ashy shade. The eyes are gray or green-blue, but sometimes hazel. Summer girls wear pastel colors: blue, pearl, lilac, and all shades of blue. Their eyes are well emphasized by beige, gray-brown or lilac shades of shadows; for lips it is better to choose a lipstick from light pink to coral color.
If your color type is summer, it will be easy for you to choose the right hair color among a wide range of shades of cool blonde and restrained light brown.
If you want to make your image bright and impressive, then these rich shades seem to be created for you:
Winter
The skin of a Winter girl can be porcelain-white, pale, without blush, or olive. The hair is dark brown or blue-black, and the eyes have a bright, rich color: gray, blue or brown. Contrasting combinations and bright shades suit you. Your wardrobe may include fuchsia, purple, burgundy and silver. Saturated bright colors will only highlight the noble pallor of the skin and bright eyes. Blue, gray, emerald, silver and smoky eye makeup - a lot suits “winter” beauties. Complete the look with lilac-pink lipstick or deep red.
Winter beauties will be irresistible if they choose dark colors as paint.
Emphasize your individuality and impress others:

Do you like champagne? The golden tints of this sparkling drink did not leave even stylists indifferent, who often recommend champagne color to fashionistas not only in clothes, but also as the main hair color. Have you tried “champagne blonde” on yourself yet? This extraordinarily amazing shade can be different, ranging from a platinum shade to a golden blonde that will play with sparkles of champagne. “Champagne” blonde is equally perfect for both the main hair color and individual strands.
Who suits champagne hair color?
Like all other pastel shades, it is ideal for those who have pale skin tones, emphasizing and complementing each other, they will emit a soft and gentle light. It would be a good idea to visit your stylist once a month to retouch the length and lighten the roots of your hair. Be sure to use conditioner and masks to gain extra shine in your hair.
“Champagne” refers to cool blondes, so it is well suited for girls of the summer color type who have pinkish skin, blue or gray eyes and, of course, natural hair color with a color range from light brown to chestnut.
Shade options
The champagne color has several shades:
- light, which is brighter and contains less orange notes;
- dark, smoothed by soft yellowness, combines more wheat shades;
- pink "champagne"
will glow with soft yellow-pink tints, it harmonizes perfectly with fair-skinned girls.
How to get champagne blonde at home?
To become one of the owners of such beauty, it is not at all necessary to make an appointment with a professional hairdresser. You can independently purchase paint with the desired shade: “champagne”, “champagne cocktail” or “champagne blond”.
Using the advice of professional hairdressers, you must first mix a small amount of the coloring composition and conduct a trial test on one strand of hair. If everything suits you, you can dye all your hair.
I would like to note that independent hair dyeing in such color schemes from the blonde palette is available to fair-haired women.
If you really like the “champagne” color, but you don’t want to bleach your hair yourself, it’s better to contact a stylist. He will offer more gentle coloring, highlighting only individual strands, highlighting or 3D coloring.
The hair will get an enlargement effect both from working with individual strands and from highlighting.
Ask your stylist to make “champagne” the main color, in this case you will become blonde, and not all hair will be affected by the dye.
Champagne hair color and your style
Undoubtedly, such a shade will require a certain style of clothing and makeup. For makeup, you can take shadows in soft brown, cream and beige shades, and it is better to take chocolate-colored eyeliner and pencil. Shades of blue, gray and blue with a deep blue or even steel-colored eyeliner on the upper eyelid also work very well. For evening makeup, use shades with glitter.
Blush choose soft, cool pinkish shades. To keep your skin smooth and matte, use a foundation that is well pigmented and without shine effects.
Lips highlight with matte lipstick in nude or dried rose shades, and in the evening a transparent gloss with sparkles will be simply irresistible, it will remind you of a glass of champagne with bubbles.
An irresistible romantic image will be created by all the pastel shades of the cold range, and if you need irresistible business makeup, gray, blue and dark blue shades will come to your aid, as well as a shade of powdered dark chocolate. And the image of a “hunter” will be wonderfully emphasized by the “safari” style with shades of “sand” and khaki.
It is necessary to choose clothes or accessories based on your appearance to highlight your strengths. For fair-haired representatives of the fair sex, this is, of course, the color of their curls. Girls with blond hair can choose universal colors that look good on both brunettes and blondes. These include, as you might guess, black, white and gray.
Good colors for fair-haired people
For blondes and fair-haired women with blue, gray or green eyes, green, some shades of gray, blue and blue, and violet are optimal. With dark skin, fair-haired people can choose bright colors that will highlight tanned skin and emphasize its contrast with the color of their curls.
A suitable option for people with blond hair would be clothing in shades. These are olive, beige, brown tones, and also cream. In order not to lose individuality, preferring such pastel shades, it is necessary to rely on complex details of outfits and accessories, as well as dilute clothes in safari shades with black, gray or white.
For blondes with any eye color, deep blue, hot pink and red are suitable. But the multifaceted color of fire must be selected based on skin tone. For dark-skinned people, the winning option would be burgundy, rich scarlet, orange, and for girls with pale skin - light shades of red.
What colors should blondes wear?
Light-haired ladies should avoid yellow, bright orange and bright green, dark purple. They don't go well with blond hair.
Turquoise, vanilla, champagne, coral, peach and other delicate shades always look beautiful on blondes and fair-haired women. Silver, gold, and platinum colors will also help highlight your hair color. These expensive shades are the key to success at a party, special event, or candlelit dinner.
When choosing clothes, shoes or accessories, do not forget that blond hair is a broad concept, including many color nuances. Therefore, any recommendations from stylists regarding suitable and fair-haired girls of color are general. So there is no need to be afraid to experiment; searching for the right shades will definitely lead you to the desired result. This rule also applies to makeup, manicure and pedicure.
