1. Ash Blonde

This cool-toned, ashy shade of blonde is unmatched. With hints of silver and white, this color is a unique pick in the blonde color family. You can go all-in, and apply ash blonde hair dye from root to tip or focus on adding this cool-tone to your ends. Either way you go, this color is sure to turn heads.

2. Platinum Blonde

If you’re feeling bright, there’s nothing like a platinum hair color. We like this nearly-white shade on TWA’s and short curly ‘dos. It’s a bold way to rock your short natural hair. If your hair is naturally dark you’ll have to do rounds of bleaching, and we know how drying and damaging that can be on hair, especially curls. Be sure to add a reparative hair care system to your wash day routine.

We love the Born To Repair Sulfate-Free Nourishing Shampoo and Born To Repair Nourishing Conditioner With Shea Butter for this because both products are formulated with sustainably-sourced shea butter, Amazonian nut oil and babassu oil, all of which are super moisturizing for dry curly hair.

3. Bronde

A mix of blonde hair color and brown, this hair color idea is a great go-to if you’re new to experimenting with hair dye. It’s safe (read: not such departure from your brunette hair), classic, but still adds dimension to your hair. When done correctly, bronde hair color has a sunkissed, summer glow effect that will make your natural curls pop.

4. Untoned Blonde

Have you ever seen freshly blonde hair before the toner is applied? Well, this color is gaining in popularity for its raw finish. The key to keeping this color is maintenance. Without upkeep, untoned blonde hair can look yellow and brassy fast. To keep this blonde hair color looking fresh, visit your colorist every month for a touch-up.

5. Honey Blonde

Honey blonde hair dye is popular for those experimenting with blonde hair color for the first time. Think Beyoncé blonde. It’s warm and has hints of blonde, gold, caramel and chestnut brown in it. Honey blonde on Black hair looks natural against medium to dark skin tones and works on all hair types and lengths.

6. Sandy Blonde

This dark blonde hair color is pretty close to honey blonde, but with more of an emphasis on the chestnut and caramel tones and fewer specks of blonde. This blonde hair color mixes both warm and cool tones in the brown and gold families.

7. Peachy Blonde

Yes, strawberry blonde hair dye works on natural hair, too. With blonde and red tones, this blonde hair idea is a show stopper. It gives rose gold hair vibes and enhances the definition of your ringlets. For more of a true strawberry blonde hue, amp up the red undertones, but if you’re looking for something subtle, keep the blonde tones at the forefront.

8. Caramel Blonde

This golden hair color is timeless. Not quite blonde, not quite brown (yet somewhere in between), this hue is gorgeous. It’s a go-to, warm blonde hair color that looks great on brown skin. And it’s easy to sport on natural hair no matter the season.
