Almost everyone has gone through a blonde phase at least once in their life—I know I have. In my humble opinion, the cliché holds true; blonde is, in fact, the most fun (sorry, brunettes and redheads). “Blonde hair has this brightness to it that stands out and feels happy, warm, and full of life,” says celebrity hairstylist Temur Hamilton. “I love the range of tones you can play with and how it can elevate your look. It reminds me of sunshine and summer."
The hair color comes in dozens of iterations, from strawberry and honey blonde to caramel and buttercream blonde. Deciding exactly which shade you want can be tricky; blonde hair can boast white, yellow, red, brown, orange, or even rose gold undertones. Your stylist knows best, so trust their instincts. But to help you come prepared with some inspiration, I've taken the liberty of naming every shade of blonde out there.
