Navigating Blonde Tones: How to Pick the Right Blonde for You

Blonde never goes out of style, and its allure continues to captivate.

Whether it’s the boldness of platinum or the subtlety of sandy tones, blonde hair offers a broad spectrum of shades that can dramatically enhance your look and complement various skin tones and personal styles.

Understanding Blonde Tones

Blonding Basics

Blonde hair color spans a broad spectrum from the lightest platinum to the deeper shades of dark blonde. Each shade has its own character and can set the tone of your appearance.

The Impact of Skin Tone

Selecting the right blonde depends heavily on understanding your skin’s undertones. 

Cool undertones are flattered by ashier blondes, like platinum and ash blonde, while warm undertones pair beautifully with shades like golden and honey blonde. 

At Dwell, we consider your skin, eye, and hair tones using a 2:1 approach — balancing two dominant tones with one contrasting tone to create dimension and harmony. 

For example, warm skin and eyes might pair beautifully with a cooler blonde for balance, while cool skin and eyes may be complemented by adding a bit of warmth into the hair. 

This custom approach enhances your natural features, ensuring a look that feels both effortless and flattering.
