Here is a quick guide: Light Skin Tones – Try out golden, strawberry or light blonde colours. Medium Skin Tones – Choose honey or golden shades, beige blonde, and light blondes with warm tones.

MoroccanOil is easy to use because it can be added to other treatments or, if used on its own, simply add a few drops to towel-dried hair and then blow dry or dry naturally.
What Are The Benefits Of Having Blonde Hair?
«Of course, we appreciate all hair colours here at our salon in Canterbury, but as this article is about blondes, here are just a few reasons you might want to join the blonde brigade! Each shade of blonde has its own unique character. Blondes are a brilliant way to add elements of your personality to your hair, creating looks that range from innocent to sun-kissed beach styles. The transition to blonde from darker hues is exciting because it opens up a whole range of interesting colours to play around with. Temporary tints such as quirky pastel shades or hair chalks show up really well on blonde hair, so you can almost try out a different shade for every mood and outfit. Blonde shades have always been iconic – for decades, film stars from Marilyn Monroe to Cameron Diaz have been showcasing the look. In choosing to go blonde, you too can wield the power to turn heads!
Are There Any Disadvantages To Having Blonde Hair?
«If you choose an all-over new hair colour, you’ll need to pay a visit to our salon to have your root regrowth touched up every eight weeks or so. Regrowth with highlights is far less obvious, but to keep your colour looking fabulous, you may want have a T-section to cover-up your roots every eight weeks or so. Balayage is an even lower maintenance look and you may not need to pop into the salon for 2-3 months. If you want to give your colour a boost a bit sooner, we can apply toners and glossing treatments to your hair, although we’d call this a benefit more than a disadvantage - at Blakes, we make it our job to pamper you!
Why Should I Use A Purple Shampoo?
«You can prolong the life of your blonde hair colour by using the right hair care products at home. Professional colour-enhancing or colour-safe shampoos and conditioners are a must if you want to stop your blonde shade from looking washed out or brassy. In particular, these shampoos bring out the paler, cooler shades of blonde and eliminate unwanted yellow or brassy tones. We recommend Paul Mitchell violet tinted Platinum Blonde shampoo.
