Ash blonde is a cool-toned hue that pairs beautifully with many skin tones, adding an air of sophistication and professionalism to any look.
If you want to switch from dark to ash blonde, be sure to lighten your locks to level eight before using an ash blonde box dye. Consult a professional colorist so the results meet your vision.
The Perfect Shade for Your Skin Tone
Ash blondes fall on the cooler end of the color spectrum and tend to feature gray, blue and green undertones. These colors look fantastic against cool skin tones as they accentuate blue veins or purple veins as well as the bluish hue in their complexions.
Finding your ideal shade of ash blonde hair color can be challenging. Consult with your colorist about what tone best complements your base hue, as this could take several bleaching sessions before achieving your ideal blonde.
Those hesitant to go full ash blonde can ease into this trend with subtle babylights, which add depth to your locks while softening any demarcations at your roots. Babylights may also be useful if transitioning gray – the subtle ash tones will cover any stubborn streaks!
The Perfect Hairstyle
If your skin tone has warm undertones, opt for cool blonde shades such as platinum and white blonde, ash blonde, icy browns, or cool reds to balance out warm undertones and bring out blue and green eyes while neutralizing warm undertones – celebs like Dove Cameron, Katherine Heigl, and Drew Barrymore have shown this color combination effortlessly!
If you have olive skin, rich warm tones look stunning on you. Try bolder hues like honey blonde, strawberry blonde and golden highlights but avoid cooler tones altogether.
Darker complexions may find it more challenging to pull off cool hair colors; however, this does not prevent you from trying new hues! Maroon shades might work better with dark blue or black eyes than other hues would do; using Kavella Purple or Blue Shampoos may help cancel out brassiness for an invigorated look that keeps the locks fresh-looking.
The Perfect Look
Your skin tone plays an integral part when selecting a hair color. For instance, those with pink or purple undertones tend to look best with cool tones like platinum blonde or ash brown than warmer hues which give off yellow tints and wash out their complexion.
At the same time, neutral or yellow skin tones pair beautifully with both warm and cool hues. If you have neutral skin tones, experiment with light strawberry blonde or rich honey highlights to bring out their inherent warmth.
Dark skin tones look stunning when worn with both warm and cool hues, such as gold balayage or rich bronze brown hues. Both options highlight your natural warm tones while still adding vibrance. Just be sure to use a color depositing shampoo like Kavella’s purple or blue shampoo (depending on your shade) in order to combat brassiness while keeping cool tones bright; for blondes you could also try Amika’s Bust Your Brass Cool Blonde Repair Shampoo as another way of maintaining their shade.
