Long Blonde Hair

Long Blonde Hair turns heads. Whatever your starting color, there are some important factors you need to consider.

Choosing the Right Shade

When going drastically lighter, it's often recommended that you slowly ease your way into the color over a couple of months. Staying within the color range for your tone helps to make your long blonde hair color more natural.

Once you determine whether you're "warm" or "cool" you should find a picture in a magazine that comes as close as possible, then make an appointment with your stylist for a consultation.

Ready to go blonde?

If you're going lighter, you're actually stripping the hair of its pigment, which is a very delicate process. Making an appointment with an experienced colorist is probably a good idea if you want long blonde hair.

Highlights can be a great way to brighten your look and ease into lighter shades. Full head color is more dramatic and results in more obvious roots, which makes upkeep more high maintenance.
