Light blond shade of hair gives a youthful look, creates a gentle and innocent look. No wonder this hair color is at the peak of popularity today. However, if it is not given by nature, then it is quite difficult to achieve it with the help of staining. A really beautiful, noble cold light blond shade is difficult to maintain. Colored hair requires constant care, regular toning and special treatment.
Who suits a light blond shade of hair?
The most common way to type appearance is according to the seasons. It is with them that four color types are associated, knowing the characteristics of each of which will help you correctly choose the color of your hair.
- Girls of the summer color type can safely experiment with shades of light blond hair color. The photos clearly demonstrate that cold blond shades perfectly complement the appearance of girls with a summer color type. Gray or light green eyes, white skin,the absence of freckles on the skin of the face and body - this is precisely their appearance. Their eyebrows are usually very light, as are their eyelashes. When a girl of the summer color type dyes her hair in a light blond shade, her appearance is transformed. The image is very gentle, youthful, feminine.
- Girls of the autumn color type do not have a light blond shade of hair. For the "autumn" is characterized by an abundance of freckles, olive skin tone, brown eyes, reddish eyebrows and eyelashes. If you dye your hair light brown, then the overall image will turn out to be painful, when you look at it, dissonance will arise. Girls of the autumn color type should pay attention to the copper shades of hair dye.
- Girls of the winter color type can experiment with ashy, pearl or any other cold blond shade. Girls of the winter color type have white skin, which almost does not lend itself to tanning, simply burning out under ultraviolet rays. There are no freckles. The eyes are either cold black, or cold green or blue. How to understand that your appearance belongs to the winter color type? There is a simple way: pay attention to the part of the eyes where the iris borders on the protein. If the contrast in the transition of color is very strong (bright iris and white protein), then we can say with certainty that you are "winter".
- Girls of the spring color type, like the autumn color type, have an appearance in warm colors, only lighter. Light brown or green eyes, very light olive skin. Freckles are few, but they are. A tendency to the appearance of age spots on the skin is characteristic. Girls of the spring color type shouldavoid light blond with an ashy shade of hair color. Any cold shades make their appearance painful. But a light brown color with a golden or copper undertone is what you need. This hair color will perfectly complement the image and make it gentle and organic.
Who better to give up the idea of dyeing light brown?
If by nature you have very dark or even black hair and eyebrows, if the skin of the face is dark, then it is better to refuse the idea of dyeing your hair in a shade of light blond. The fact is that even if you regularly do makeup and lighten your eyebrows, the overall color type will not match the chosen shade of hair. This dissonance in appearance will not lead to a good result: the image will be disharmonious.
The owners of a sultry appearance and naturally black hair can emphasize their beauty in a different way. As a rule, attempts to bleach black hair do not end with a very good result. The hair becomes so thin and spoiled that in the end you have to cut it short or even shave off the previously luxurious mop of hair.
Professional Dye Palette
The most popular shades of light blond hair color in the palette:
- Cold ash blonde has long been a classic. This shade is very noble, but it is difficult to maintain. Ashness is achieved due to the presence of a purple pigment in the composition of the dye. It is one of the most unstable, as it is not natural. The ash is quickly washed out, and after a couple of weeks, re-tinting is required. To maintain the beauty of the shade at a constant level, you should use special care products, which will be discussed below.
- Light blond golden hair color is not popular - and in vain. This is a warm light shade, which, compared to ashy, retains brightness for a long time. Golden tones are perfect for the face of girls of the spring color type.
- Light blond beige hair color is achieved due to the fact that a small amount of brown pigment has been added to the dye. It resembles ashy, but a little warmer. This is a great option for all color types, except for autumn. Light blond beige is not quite a cold tone, but it cannot be considered warm either. This is an intermediate option for those who find it difficult to constantly maintain an ashy shade due to the fact that the natural hair color is golden or reddish.
Salon or home coloring?
What to choose - salon coloring or try to achieve a beautiful color on your own at home? A cold shade on light blond hair looks luxurious, but without skills in hairdressing and knowledge in the field of color, it is quite difficult to achieve it.
In some cases, in order to achieve a light blond shade of hair, the photo of which is presented in the article, it is necessary to make an acid wash. This procedure is quite complicated, it is performed in several stages. At home, it is impossible to carry out a high-quality wash and subsequent staining.
If the hair is naturally dark, thenpre-lightening is required. It is necessary, with the help of a brightening agent, to bring the shade to the level of depth of tone at which the desired shade is located. Light blond hair with an ashy tint, the photos of which are presented in this article, at the 9th level of tone depth. Therefore, it is necessary to lighten the hair almost to white, remove your own dark pigment from the cuticle. At home, it is quite difficult to lighten hair qualitatively and safely, especially on your own. But the master in the salon will carry out this procedure without problems, as he has already performed it hundreds of times.
When do I need an acid wash?
If the hair was previously dyed black with a permanent permanent dye, then it will be very difficult, if not impossible, to achieve light blond hair with an ashy tint. The cuticle of the hair is clogged with black pigment, and in order to remove it, it is necessary to make an acid wash. In this case, it is better to contact the salon and entrust the beauty of your hair to an experienced master.
It also happens that after the wash, the hair also needs lightening. If the girl’s hair is naturally dark and was previously dyed dark, then the scheme will be as follows:
- First, a wash is required to extract the pigment from the cuticle.
- Then the hair must be bleached so that the color drops to the desired level of tone depth.
- After that, you should immediately tone your hair in the desired shade of light brown.
- Follow-up care - the application of laminating or keratin compounds to give the hair a decent look and reduce the resultingdamage.
When do you need bleaching?
Before applying light blond hair dye, bleach your hair. You can perform highlighting (discolor individual strands) or the entire hair sheet completely. What is it for? The fact is that almost all people in the structure of the hair have a lot of extra pigments of red or dark color. If you apply a dye over your native color, then it simply will not be taken. And after bleaching, the hair cuticle becomes hollow, as a result of which the ashy blond fills it. The result is an even, radiant and beautiful color.
As mentioned above, you can discolor only part of the strands - perform the so-called frequent highlighting. Then the bleached strands should be immediately tinted in light blond with the desired shade. This dyeing technique will help maintain the he alth and density of the hair, because some part of the canvas will remain without exposure to chemical coloring compounds.
What is toning for?
You've probably already noticed that toning is mentioned a lot. In fact, toning is the magic "key" that ensures the presence of a noble ash light blond shade of hair. The palette of any tinting dyes is quite wide: ashen, golden, sandre, caramel, beige shades.
After the hair is protonated (provided that before that high-quality lightening was performed and a uniform base for dyeing was prepared), you should choose high-quality care. Otherwise, toningrinses out of hair fairly quickly.

Unsuccessful staining result
When trying to achieve a noble light brown shade at home, an unsuccessful result is often obtained. This is due to the fact that people without experience in hairdressing are not able to track the reaction of hair bleaching and often do not even follow the proportions indicated by the manufacturer when mixing working compositions.
As a result of such "amateur" hair turns into untidy yellow straw. Alas, it is almost impossible to restore them - only a short haircut and subsequent growth of he althy hair can help. When the hair structure is burnt, then not a single, even the highest quality mask, is able to restore the cuticle. Therefore, it is better not to risk the beauty and he alth of your hair, but to go to a salon, to a professional master.
The importance of proper hair care
So, you managed to achieve the color of your dreams - a noble light blond cold shade. But after a couple of weeks, you notice that an untidy yellowness has appeared, and the strands look dry and lifeless. This is a logical result, since due to bleaching and toning, even with the highest quality dyes, the quality of the hair still partially deteriorates. Therefore, you should constantly use masks, balms, conditioners.
To avoid this unpleasant effect, you must constantly use special professional care products. Pay attention to the mask from "Estelle" Newtone 8.61 "Light blond purple-ash". This remedy will help to avoid yellowness for a long time, and also make hair smooth and shiny.
If you use a hair dryer and curling iron daily or at least three times a week, then you should purchase a thermal protectant. It can be either creamy or liquid. Before each styling, apply this product to the surface of the hair - this will help to avoid damage when exposed to high temperatures.
