Are you a cool or a warm blonde? Summertime brings out the best blondes!

Finding your perfect summer blonde hue can be challenging , Master Aveda Artist, Rayna is showing us the Pro Tips to find the perfect shade for you.


First things first. 1. Skin tone, eye color and utilizing your natural haircolor is key to finding the perfect blonde shade. If your skin tone tends to be on the cooler side then platinum, icy and ashy blonde shades will be your best friend. If your skin tone is golden or warm then bronde ( the hottest new blonde trend) golden and honey tones will be gorgeous on you. 2. The same rules apply for your eye color. Cool tones compliments cool and warm compliments warm. This is an easy rule to follow. When in doubt…consult your colorist about which tones will compliment and enhance your features best.

Maintenance is key to keeping your blonde looking brand new everyday, but what’s involved? First decide how often you will want to commit to getting your blonding color done. Remember that the lighter you go from your natural color the more maintenance you will have. A routine color glossing appointment done every 4 weeks can refresh your complimentary blonde tone. Ask your colorist about your blonde care maintenance and when you should come back in between your blonding appointments for those color glosses. Post color treatments like the Aveda botanical deep conditioning treatments can re-hydrate and strengthen your hair keeping it shiny , strong and moisturized. Ask your colorist about our botanical treatments at your next color appointment.

Don’t forget to get your haircut every 6-8 weeks , those blonde tresses must be treated with the ultimate care. Regular haircuts will ensure that your hair is as healthy as possible and staying strong. Remember healthy hair is beautiful hair!

Is your blonde goal realistic ? It may take a few appointments to achieve the perfect blonde so patience is key , and in the blonde race slow and steady wins.

At home care regimen is essential to maintaining your perfect blonde color all summer long. Don’t wash out your blonde tones by using drug store brands , they are full of harsh parabens , sulfates and chemicals that will dilute your color and fade out your blonde to unwanted brassy tones. Color conserve shampoo and conditioner are the perfect duo for keeping your blonde hair the perfect tone. Color conserve shampoo prevents haircolor from fading by using gentle plant based cleansing ingredients that won’t strip out your gorgeous blonde tones. Color conserve conditioner will hydrate and detangle your hair post shampoo and leave your hair feeling silky and shiny. Blue Malva Shampoo and Conditioner will keep you cooler toned blondes icy and platinum all summer long. Chamomile shampoo and conditioner will brighten golden and warm blondes in between salon visits.
