As temperatures heat up and blonde hair color trends shift, many of us lighten up for summer. If Barbie blonde is too bright for you, buttery blonde offers an excellent way to achieve dimension while remaining subtle.

Since Gossip Girl premiered, Blake Lively has worn sandy blonde hairstyles as an effective choice to extend salon visits and keep looking their best longer.

Warm Butter Blonde

Sydney Sweeney has been seen wearing more natural blonde shades such as this buttery yellow shade on celebs like herself, like Sydney Sweeney. This buttery yellow hair color leans warm without tipping into brassy territory – perfect for almost all skin tones!

If you’re a brunette looking to lighten up this summer, opting for butter blonde will help prevent over-processing and keep your strands healthy. Furthermore, warmer tones tend to hold color better than cooler hues which tend to wash out your strands quickly, leaving them looking faded more quickly.

Maintain your blonde hair color by getting touch-ups every six weeks to avoid harsh lines of demarcation and using products specifically designed to fight brassiness and preserve vibrancy, such as the L’Oreal Paris Elvive Color Vibrancy Repair and Protect Balm for color-treated blondes.

Light Butter Blonde

Light butter blonde is the ideal hue for Light Summers with warmer skin tones, serving as the go-to look when trying on lighter tones like caramel or platinum blonde hair colors. This look can be styled in various ways; Cate Blanchett is an example of someone who pulls this look off beautifully; light butter is an ideal solution if you fear you won’t be able to pull off one of the cooler tone options like platinum blonde.

An all-over butter blonde shade will give your beachy, sunlit look. Best suited to naturally light to medium complexions and brightened by golden balayage or amber highlights, this look works especially well on naturally lighter to medium complexions. Make sure to care for your new lighter strands using our L’Oreal Paris Elvive Color Vibrancy Protecting Shampoo and Conditioner which help prevent color fade while leaving strands looking healthy!

Butterscotch Blonde

Butterscotch blonde is a lovely three-dimensional hue, similar to the delicious candy we so enjoy biting into. Perfect for autumn months, this shade provides warmth without going fully blonde – ideal for brunettes or redheads who wish to lighten their look without becoming blonde all over again.

Butterscotch hair color options range from light golden hues to rich caramel to copper-caramel shades, as well as more unusual hues like bronde butterscotch for those on the border of blonde and brown, or auburn butterscotch for redder options.

If you want a way to refresh your look for fall, talk to your stylist about adding this beautiful hue into a balayage or ombre style. The darker roots will bring depth and dimension while lighter butterscotch blonde tones near the ends will really showcase warm undertones. Combining both shades will allow for faster root growth as blond roots don’t spread as rapidly due to less frequent salon visits!

Platinum Blonde

Platinum blonde stands out amongst other shades of blonde hair color, and can often be found on celebrities like G-Eazy, Zoe Kravitz and original blonde bombshell Jean Harlow. Additionally, it makes an excellent Halloween costume choice as many fictional characters feature platinum locks.

Though at-home bleaching with hydrogen peroxide may work quickly and efficiently, true platinum blonde is best achieved through professional hair colorist services. A skilled colorist will use a mixture of bleach and dye to lift your natural color up into white hue, then gradually increase bleach until they have achieved your desired hue.

To maintain a platinum blonde color, try using toning shampoos or conditioners with purple undertones to combat brassiness. Also available are root touch-up powders which cover dark roots without altering your blond tone – an excellent solution for those with light brown roots who wish to go platinum but lack either time or money to invest in permanent hair coloring solutions.
