Light blond shade of hair gives a youthful appearance, creates a gentle and innocent image. No wonder this hair color is at the peak of popularity today. However, if it is not given by nature, then using coloring it is quite difficult to achieve. Really beautiful, noble cold light brown shade is difficult to maintain. Dyed hair requires constant care, regular toning and special treatment.
Who needs a light blond shade of hair?
The most common way to type looks is by season. It is with them that four color types are associated, knowledge of the characteristics of each of which will help to choose the right hair color.
- Girls of the summer color type can safely experiment with shades of light blond hair color. Photos clearly demonstrate that cold light brown 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 their appearance. Their eyebrows are, as a rule, very light, as are the eyelashes. When a girl of a summer color type repaints her hair in a light blond shade, her appearance is transformed. The image is very tender, youthful, feminine.
- Girls of the autumn color type do not suit 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 brown, then the overall image will turn out to be painful, when you look at it, there will be a dissonance. 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 ashen, pearl or any other cold blond shade. Girls of the winter color type have white skin, which almost does not succumb to tanning, simply burning under ultraviolet rays. There are no freckles. The eyes are either a cold black, or cool 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 eye where the iris borders on the protein. If the contrast in the color transition is very strong (bright iris and white protein), then we can say with accuracy that you are “winter”.
- Girls of the spring color type, as well as the autumn ones, 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 should avoid light blond with an ashy shade of hair color. Any cold shades make their appearance painful. But the light brown color with a golden or copper tint is what you need. This hair color will perfectly complement the image and make it gentle and organic.
Who better to abandon the idea of staining in light brown color?
If by nature you have very dark or even black hair and eyebrows, if your skin is dark, then it is better to refuse the idea of dyeing your hair in a shade of light blond color. The fact is that even if you regularly do makeup and lighten eyebrows, the overall color type will not match the selected hair shade. This dissonance in appearance will not lead to a good result: the image will be disharmonious.
Owners of 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 in a very good result. The hair is so thin and spoiled that in the end you have to do a short haircut or even shave off a previously luxurious mop of hair.
Professional Dye Palette
The most popular shades of light blond hair color in the palette:
- Cold ash blond has long been a classic. This shade is very noble, but it is difficult to maintain. Ash is achieved due to the presence of a purple pigment in the dye. He is one of the most unstable, as it is not natural. The ash is quickly washed away, and after a couple of weeks, repeated 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, in comparison with the ashen, retains brightness for a long time. Golden tones are perfect for the girls of the spring color type.
- Light blond beige hair color is achieved due to the fact that a small amount of brown pigment is added to the dye. It resembles an ashen, but a little warmer. This is a great option for all color types except autumn. Light blond beige is not quite a cold tone, but it cannot be ranked as 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 color of the hair is golden or reddish.
A trip to the salon or home coloring?
What to choose - salon coloring or try to achieve a beautiful color at home on your own? The cold shade on light brown hair looks luxurious, but without the skills in hairdressing and knowledge in the field of coloristics, 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 do an acid wash. This procedure is quite complicated, it is carried out in several stages. At home, a high-quality washing and subsequent staining is impossible.
If the hair is dark by nature, then preliminary clarification is required. With the help of a brightening agent, it is necessary to bring the hue to the level of the depth of tone at which the desired hue is located. Light brown hair with an ash tint, the photos of which are presented in this article, at the 9th level of tone depth. Therefore, you need to lighten your hair almost to white, remove your native dark pigment from the cuticle. At home, it is quite difficult to lighten hair with quality and safety, especially on its own. But the master in the cabin will carry out this procedure without problems, since he has already performed it hundreds of times.
When is an acid wash necessary?
If the hair was previously dyed black with a permanent permanent dye, then it will be very difficult, if not impossible, to achieve light brown hair with an ashy shade. The hair cuticle is clogged with black pigment, and to remove it, it is necessary to do 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 washing, the hair also needs clarification. If the girl’s hair is naturally dark and was previously dyed dark, then the scheme will be as follows:
- First, a flush is required to remove the pigment from the cuticle.
- Then the hair should be discolored so that the color drops to the desired level of depth of tone.
- After this, you should immediately tint the hair in the desired shade of blond.
- Subsequent care - applying a laminating or keratin composition to give the hair a decent look and reduce damage.
When is bleaching necessary?
Before applying hair dye light brown, the hair should be discolored. 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 hair structure have a lot of excess pigments of red or dark color. If you put a dye on top of the native color, then it simply will not take. And after bleaching, the cuticle of the hair becomes hollow, as a result of which the ashy blond fills it. As a result, the color is uniform, radiant and beautiful.
As mentioned above, only part of the strands can be discolored - perform the so-called frequent highlighting. Then bleached strands should immediately be tinted in light blond with the desired shade. This technique of dyeing will help to maintain the health and density of the hair, because some of the canvas will remain without exposure to chemical coloring compounds.
What is tinting for?
You probably already noticed that tinting is very often mentioned. In fact, tinting 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, sandra, caramel, beige shades.
After the hair is protonated (provided that prior to this, high-quality lightening has been performed and a uniform base for dyeing has been prepared), you should choose high-quality care. Otherwise, tinting is quickly washed out of the hair.

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 observe the proportions specified by the manufacturer when mixing working compositions.
As a result of such "amateur activity", the hair turns into an untidy yellow straw. Alas, it is almost impossible to restore them - only a short haircut and the subsequent growth of healthy hair can help. When the structure of the hair is burned, then not one, even the highest quality mask, is able to restore the cuticle. Therefore, it is better not to risk the beauty and health of your hair, but to contact the salon, to a professional master.
The Importance of Proper Hair Care
So, you managed to achieve the color of your dream - a noble light blond cold shade. But after a couple of weeks, you notice that an untidy yellowness has appeared, and the locks look dry and lifeless. This is a logical result, since due to bleaching and tinting even with the highest quality dyes, the quality of the hair is still partially deteriorating. 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 tool will help to avoid yellowness for a long time, and also make hair smooth and shiny.
If you use a hair dryer and styling tongs daily or at least three times a week, you should purchase a thermal protective agent. It can be either cream or liquid consistency. Before each styling, it is necessary to apply this product on the surface of the hair - this will help to avoid damage when exposed to high temperatures.
