The Blond Guide: 13 Stunning Shades for Your Next Hair Appointment
by DEVEN HOPP
It’s hard to play favorites when it comes to hair color. We could just as easily get lost in a sea of brilliant brunettes as we could in shimmering, bright blonde overload. (And don’t even get us started on vibrant redheads.) Type in “hair color inspiration” on Pinterest and watch us scroll for days. But we’ll go out on a limb here and say that blond hair color inspiration is the most mesmerizing of the bunch. Icy, buttery, golden, sun-kissed, soft—the options are endless. And each tiny little tweak can make a world of difference. Which is precisely why we took it upon ourselves to scour the blond seas and roundup the best of the best of every shade of blond. We’d also like to add, that as proud, dedicated blondes, we wrote this story while Christophe Robin’s Shade Variation Care Nutritive Mask With Temporary Coloring in Baby Blond ($51) worked its magic on our strands.
