In the offerings of many cosmetics companies, we can find hundreds of different shades of blonde, which cause us certain dilemmas every time. With such a wide selection, it is difficult to decide on one specific hair color while being sure that our choice will ultimately produce perfect coloring results. However, we very often forget that each of these thousand different shades falls within the palette of cool, warm or neutral blonde, which is the most important factor when choosing a specific hair dye. We therefore explain how to properly assess the color tone of a dye and match it to our type of beauty!
Cool shades of blonde—for cool-toned beauty!
Cool shades of blonde, meaning shades without bright and radiant highlights, such as ash, silver and icy blonde, are hair colors intended for people with cool-toned beauty. We are dealing with a cool type of beauty when the complexion is pale and slightly pinkish or bluish (typical of people who struggle with couperose skin on a daily basis). To make things easier, people with a cool type of beauty usually have blue or gray eyes, as well as light eyebrows and eyelashes.
Warm shades of blonde—for a radiant complexion!
Unlike cool shades of blonde, warm shades contain many bright and sunny highlights that pair perfectly with a natural and radiant complexion. Women with a warm type of beauty usually have peach, apricot or olive-toned skin, brown, hazel or beer-colored eyes, as well as darker eyebrows and eyelashes. A warm type of beauty can also be considered seasonal, as it includes women whose skin has a natural or artificial tan. Warm hair-dye shades include, among others, golden, sunny, honey, pastel and beige blonde.
Neutral shades of blonde—for everyone?
Besides warm and cool shades, the blonde palette also includes neutral colors that give the hair the most natural-looking coloring effect possible. Neutral shades lack both cool and warm highlights, so they are perfect for people who have difficulty correctly assessing their complexion’s color tone or fall into the so-called mixed type. A natural blonde color can be identified primarily by the product name, such as natural dark blonde, but it is also worth taking a closer look at the dye numbering on the package—neutral hair shades usually have the digit 0 in their numbering, located in the middle or directly after a dot or comma. It is worth noting that neutral blonde is an excellent hair-color alternative for people who cannot make the right choice between a cool and a warm dye shade.
Blonde Hair Color—Garnier Dye Shades
When looking for the right hair-dye color, it is above all worth considering brands that offer a wide palette of warm, cool and neutral blonde shades. Garnier definitely belongs to this group, and in its range each of us will surely find a product suited to our individual needs. Of particular interest are Garnier Olia blonde shades—these are exceptionally intense and saturated colors achieved through ammonia-free coloring. The brand has also made a special five-step application for matching the perfect hair color available on its website, which has already helped many women achieve perfect hair-coloring results.
