Dare to care when joining the blonde ambition crew, as you must hydrate and nourish if your locks are to illuminate. Blonde is more than just a look. It is a statement. Being a blonde bombshell is exhilarating. But bleaching the hair leaves it vulnerable to dryness. Colour fades and loses its unique tone. Never fear, because we are here to help you navigate the ins and outs of caring for your beautiful blonde locks.
Hair Goals
The big blonde debate … the oldest beauty debate in the book, but how does one decide whether or not they should jump ship and change their hair colour from blonde to brown, or vice versa? Maybe you’re just contemplating hopping over to a different hue even. It can be a difficult one to sway between but do your research and photoshop a few pics, get your friends advice and remember, heaps of celebs have played between shades and survived to tell the tale… whilst looking daaaaaarn hot!
You dare, we care
When you’ve made that big decision to showcase your new hue, you’ll have to consider the shade of choice! Blonde is more than a colour, it’s a lifestyle! But who knew there are so many variations of blonde to choose from?
We refer to highlighted, sun-kissed, Californian, caramel, platinum, silver-blonde, ash blonde, strawberry blonde and plenty more but we don’t want to overwhelm you!
In an ideal scenario, we would advise that you stay within ‘two levels’ of your natural colour. Consider your skin tone as this will have an influence on the shade of blonde you should choose. Our colour technicians and fully trained to help you with this aspect so you needn’t worry.
Look yourself in the eye! Depending on whether you have blue, hazel or green eyes can make a difference to the shade you should opt for. Chat with one of our colour specialists who can advise you on the best tone and away you go-go!
It’s good to know the facts and figures before you take the plunge as blondes do need to pay particular attention to their hair care (whilst having fun we believe)!
