You want a natural, long lasting blonde hair color, then you want the three B’s: Blended Blonde Balayage. You’re definitely blonde but have enough of a rooty base that you can go much longer than the usual 6-8 weeks between color appointments.

You want brunette hair color, then you want this. Even Goldilocks would agree.

A mix of honey hued and lighter highlights on a naturally darker blonde base is truly a gorgeous shade. Case in point with this color by hair stylist Celine Fenton.
Before and after pictures are here to remind us why it’s important to go in and get that refreshed hair color. Your color can dull over time, which is exactly why fresh highlights look so good. Color by Grace Dunne.

Let’s face it – you know good work when you see it. Take a look at the shades being done by colorist Cherin Choi, who is based out of the Ramirez Tran Salon in Los Angeles.
