Blonde sets a style in any of its various versions and is the favorite hair color among Hollywood actresses. However, it is not only the favorite hair color of celebrities. It is far from it.
Blonde tones define the pattern whenever a woman thinks about modifying her hair’s appearance. Whether because of the hackneyed phrase “gentlemen prefer blondes” or because hundreds of thousands of women agree that they look better with lighter hair.
The figures reported by hair color product manufacturing brands and those responsible for hair salons prove it: the first option of legions of women worldwide is to think about some shade of Blonde when they decide to update their hair. And energize your hair.
In the case of Spanish women, almost 30% dye their hair Blonde. This may be because, as Marilyn Monroe said, “Being blonde is a state of mind.” Or it could be because you always want what you don’t have.
Who Does Ash Blonde Look Good On?
If you want a natural ash blonde, you must know that not everyone suits this color. You must first remember that it has a very light and muted tone. Therefore, it is indicated for very specific people.
Ash-blonde favors girls with these features :
- White Skins
- Blonde or light brown hair
- Girls who want an elegant and delicate touch for their look
- Pale women who want to highlight their features
- Young girls or girls with healthy skin
If you have dark hair or dark skin, ash blonde may not go well with your appearance. It is a very complicated hair color and can enhance an aged appearance. Therefore, it is recommended above all among young women or women with good skin and fairly white skin.
Why Is Ash Blonde In Fashion?
Ash blonde is one of the most requested when discussing light hair. As we have already told you, Spain is a country of aspirational blondes. We are mostly brunettes, but don’t think about it when lightening our hair.
Among all the possible shades, ash blonde is the star tone. A tone that is in demand more every day. This may be because, compared to other blonde tones, it is more natural and discreet within its notoriety.
How To Get A Natural Ash Blonde?
We consider something that most beauty salons are unaware of or ignore. And the pigment of Spanish women tends to be more reddish, so that contributes to blondes, in general, having a reddish touch.
Knowing that it is necessary to do a prior treatment so that the blonde looks natural. And we are one of the few beauty salons in Barcelona that do it. This prior treatment consists of a study of both the face (skin tone, features, etc.) and the hair pigment.
With this treatment, we prepare your hair so that it assimilates the discoloration well and so that the hair does not suffer. This treatment also allows the hair to be more receptive and better absorb the new pigments it will receive the day we change to ash blonde.
As we said at the beginning, the blonde color is a truly demanding color if it is not natural. Not only because the roots are immediately marked but also because the hair weakens a little after bleaching and becomes more fragile. After this process, your hair will need, more than ever, to pay attention to it and take care of it.
The fundamental step is hydration. Moisturizing hair is key, especially after “suffering” bleaching. When ash blonde hair is not well hydrated, the hair not only becomes frizzy but also takes on a “rugged,” unflattering, and unnatural appearance. So hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.
Likewise, it is advisable to use a specific hair treatment for dyed hair. There are many products on the market, but not all of them act the same or with the same intensity, so we can only recommend that you opt for one of the color treatments from one of our favorite brands: Philip Martins.
With the two previous steps, you will ensure that your ash blonde is beautiful as soon as you dye it and maintain the tone you were looking for throughout the washes.
Of course, you must combine this care with regular maintenance visits to your beauty salon every month or month and a half so the line does not become excessively marked.
Celebrities With Ash Blonde Hair
There are many, but here are our favorites: Melora Hardin, Cara Delevingne, Rachel McAdams, Vanesa Lorenzo, and Amanda Seyfried. They will surely serve as inspiration when deciding whether or not you want that tone.
