If your skin has warm undertones, choose blonde shades with golden or orange undertones that complement them instead of cool blondes like ice platinum or silvery white that could clash with them.

Try Laverne Cox’s honey blonde shade or create the look seen on Billie Eilish with caramel lowlights and strawberry blonde highlights, or go for a soft ombre balayage for a natural-looking warm blonde gradient gradation.

Warm Blonde Tones

If your skin easily tans with yellow or golden tones, chances are it has warm tones. On the other hand, if it turns pink when exposed to direct sunlight or you find tanning difficult, this could indicate cool tones in your complexion.

If your skin tone is warm, most blonde shades can flatter. But avoid platinum or ashy tones; honey hues could add warmth while providing an eye-catching frame around the face.

If you have light to medium warm blonde locks, your colorist is likely to suggest a buttery or golden shade with subtle yellow, red and orange undertones. Strawberry blondes like Ciara’s are an excellent way to embrace their warm-toned appearance without going full red; just be sure to use Amika’s Bust Your Brass Blonde Purple Shampoo ($26) regularly so as to prevent brassiness from developing in your hue.

Honey Blonde

Start revealing your bright-sweet side with a light honey blonde hue, which adds warm golden tones to the complexion and flatters most skin tones from fair to medium and olive. L’Oreal Paris Superior Preference Fade-Defying Shine Permanent Hair Color in Light Golden Blonde makes DIYing this brilliant hue easy at home, while for maintenance use a restorative gloss treatment such as L’Oreal Paris Le Color Gloss One Step In-Shower Toning Gloss to boost shine while prevent fade.

To achieve a sumptuous, warm look, try layering honey blonde highlights and babylights with a richer caramel blonde base for an ombre-style effect. Or go deeper Nicole Kidman style strawberry blonde by utilizing full highlight applications that feature vibrant red and orange tones.

Amber Blonde

A twist on traditional rose gold balayage, this trend adds honey and buttery tones to an otherwise brilliant golden base for an eye-catching effect. Ideal for medium skin tones.

An upgrade from amber blonde, copper brown is a gorgeous hue that enhances deeper complexions while complementing blue-green or hazel eyes beautifully. Give full highlights an eye-catching sun-kissed effect or tone it down for a more subdued style that still looks gorgeous.

Ashy tones give blonde hair a sophisticated, silver hue, making it the ideal complement to light complexions with delicate eye colors like blue or green. Be wary, however, as going too ashy could leave you looking washed-out and worn-out.

Strawberry Blonde

Strawberry blonde is a timeless shade. This warm reddish hue makes an impressionful statement in any room and pairs perfectly with neutral or beige skin tones, yet can also look fantastic when contrasted against copper hues or fiery auburn shades.

Darker roots create an eye-catching ombre style with part strawberry blonde and part golden copper tones, perfect for any face shape and type. Wavy hair types will especially love this stunning hue which complements any facial structure perfectly.

If you prefer something subtler, request that your stylist add delicate peach highlights over a lighter blonde base. Be sure to switch over to shampoos designed for color-treated strands to protect this beautiful shade – it also works wonders on fine hair by making strands appear fuller and thicker! This shade may also help if your fine locks appear fuller and thicker!

Caramel Blonde

Caramel blonde is an inviting blend of caramel and gold that adds richness and drama to any blonde base. It sits deeper than honey blonde while lighter than beachy bronde – an ideal hue for brunettes looking to go blonde without bleaching their entire head of hair.

Your stylist will create a custom caramel balayage look using different shades of light golden brown, as well as foils to lift darker bases for brighter results.

Priyanka Chopra Jona’s lush caramel highlights serve as the ideal example for anyone wanting to experiment with dark versions of this hue. Her ashy caramel streaks blend beautifully with her dark chocolate locks and give her skin an extra glow. Ask your colorist to strategically add lighter or brighter caramel hues for soft or bold dimension and movement while creating natural-looking texture in order to get this look.
