Which blonde to go for? Everyone has asked the question at least once. Finding that perfect blonde hair colour is a little like choosing the right paint for your room and then a sofa and rug that blend in. We all can relate to how the wrong one dulls everything and how the right one transforms the entire space. Blonde is not just a shade from a chart, it's a personality people live in.
How to Choose the Perfect Blonde Hair Colour for You
Some hair transformations whisper, others are like the quiet sunrise that is warm and unforgettable. That's the beauty of blonde. There's a special kind of confidence that rises the moment you find the blonde that feels like it was made for you.
But let's be real: the long list of blondes, the scrolls on Instagram, and celebrities causing a storm on the internet can all get you confused as to which one is the one. Well, turns out you're about to find out which blonde shade sits softly on your features using GK Hair's Juvexin Cream Color for blonde.
You can't go wrong when you choose based on the following:
Consider Your Undertone
As beautiful as blonde hair is, going from any colour to blonde is a bold move and you have to be sure about it. This is why it makes much more sense to consider your complexion. Undertone is the colour that's beneath the skin. Skin tone may change with time, but undertone is almost the same. A quick one: Check your veins under natural light.
If you notice blue or purple veins, then you have a cool undertone; however, if it is green, you have a warm undertone. A neutral undertone sits between these colours. But remember, the actual colour is only visible under natural light.
Choose to Suit Your Skin Tone
Just as there are 3 undertones, there are 3 skin tones. Although undertones help in selecting a blonde shade that blends with your natural skin colour rather than contrasts, skin tone matters the most. Those with warm skin tones, that is, golden or yellow undertones, such as blonde colours like golden, caramel, and honey, are their fit.
Match Your Shade to Your Natural Hair Level
Blonde doesn't need drama to make an impact. If you didn't realise that yet until now, well, you do now. Turns out that it's not enough to pick based on your skin and undertone alone. It's important that you choose a shade that matches your natural hair shade so that new growth blends in. Moreso, it feels more right to enhance what you naturally have for a more flattering result.
If your base is very dark, going as light as platinum can be very sharp, and trust us when we say that your hair would go through several bleaching processes to get there. Light brunettes can stay with warm honey or sandy shades. Those with dark hair can do a soft dark blonde. That's how you have a shift in colour that's beautiful and stunning yet comes with less damage after bleaching.
Your Lifestyle and What Level of Maintenance You Can Give
Every blonde tells a story of your mood. To communicate youthfulness, warm blonde is just that. Cool blonde says “modern and sophisticated,” so if you want to make a good hair statement, choose your blonde colour wisely. As lifestyle is important, so is maintenance. Blonde requires regular maintenance for a colour that stays on for a long time.
The colour you choose is only as good as the products at home—on your bathroom shelf or in your dressing room. If GK Hair Color Care Products are not on your shelf, then your hair for sure is not in a good place. High-lift blondes would require regular toning and in-between salon visits and you shouldn't compromise on that.
What's Your Eye Colour?
Your shade of blonde doesn't always have to complement your eye colour, it could enhance it. Picture hazel or warm brown eyes on cooler blondes. It is the perfect sweet spot and steals the show. Any colour you decide on should enhance your look, not compete with it—and what hair is prettier than blonde?
Trendy Blonde Shades to Try Out Right Now
As you already know, this season, blonde hair is having a moment. The list of blonde shades to try out may be long and daunting and you're likely to get lost in the process. But don't worry, we've got you.
Light Ash Blonde
Ash blonde hair colours are daring and so is light ash. Although brass is a major concern here, when done well, you can have your hair looking its best for most of the time. Use GK Hair Silver Bombshell Shampoo to counter yellow undertones while keeping a striking look of very near platinum or white blonde.
Chocolate Blonde
This is one of the dark blonde hair colours to try out for a chic girl vibe and you know what? It's practically low-maintenance and great for those turning from brunette hair to blonde. You should do highlights or lowlights to add some depth and dimension to your blonde colour.
Honey Blonde
This season is all about blondes that feel soft and dimensional, and honey blonde is one of those. It's golden and gives a sun-kissed glow effortlessly. What makes it even more incredible is the blend of caramel and honey that melts into itself to create natural depth.
Platinum Blonde
Everyone can agree on one thing: platinum is the iciest of all blondes and very cool. It's at the edge of white and perfect for those who love a bit of drama, ha-ha. If you don't mind a high-maintenance routine and are ready to commit to it, try out platinum blonde and watch heads turn because of you. Platinum works especially well for those who want softness and movement, all-in-one.
Sounds good, right? Get your Ultra Blonde Bombshell Masque from GK Hair and treat your blonde to some love over the weekend.
Strawberry Blonde
We really can't tell you which one to go for when there's a long list of colours that can wow you. But this one carries a gentle wash of red into light blonde. The colour is warm, romantic and multidimensional, making it a perfect shade that's whimsical without being overly bold. Like blush to the face, strawberry adds a natural flush to the skin, giving you a glow that is youthful and polished.
How to Make Your Blonde Colour Last Longer
Use the Right Shampoo and Conditioner
The “right shampoo and conditioner” may already sound cliché but there's really the right one. We recommend GK Hair's Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner because it's designed specifically for coloured hair and for providing moisture to your blonde. To keep brass away, use a purple shampoo like GK Hair Silver Bombshell Shampoo once or twice a week, depending on how brassy your hair has become.
Keep Your Hair Hydrated
We know we said moisturising shampoo and conditioner does it, but if you're not a natural blonde, your hair is probably thirsty right now. In fact, all coloured hair does well with moisture support. Use a leave-in daily before stepping into the sun or humid air. Even if you're indoors, heaters can dry out your hair. Once a week, ensure to do a deep conditioning treatment.
Don't Always Heat Style
We're pretty sure your hair can be as beautiful with hot tools as without them. All you need is style and quality products - those that actually do what they said they would. Curling, straightening and blow-drying are processes that damage hair. Enter GK Hair ThermalStyleHer Cream to protect your hair if, at all, you would like to heat style.
Never Miss Regular Touch-ups and Trims
You may now be wondering what trimming hair has got to do with keeping blonde hair vibrant. Your thought is right. Snipping off split ends wouldn't add to your colour, but it could shape your overall look.
Girl, book that appointment, go for colour touch-ups, and have your colour back and shiny like when you first did it! GK Hair has got you covered on products that deliver and thanks to its discount sale, you can shop for less on all our products.
