You’ll find a wide range of blonde shades, from gold and honey-toned blondes with a high gloss or shine. Pale and platinum blondes are famous around the world, offering that sun-kissed look.

Darker shades of blonde are also popular and often worn with lighter blonde highlights to create a more natural look. Overall, blonde is considered the hair color that lifts mood and promotes a more free-spirited, fun appearance that many people find welcoming and approachable.

Are There Drawbacks to Going Blonde?

If you’re going from dark brown or black to blonde, you’ll need to use many lighteners, which can cause dryness and damage to hair.

Darker roots tend to show up quickly, requiring touch-ups to maintain a sleek and even-toned blonde. A very light shade of blonde can be high maintenance for this reason and cost more at a professional salon to treat and condition.

Brunette

Brown hair shines impressively in sunlight, and you can add a lot of variations to your brunette mane, from a hint of auburn using a temporary rinse. You can also add a contrasting chunk or highlights of lighter and darker shades of brown, similar to how shades of blonde can create a dimensional look.

The Advantages

Something is charming and alluring about a deep shade of chestnut or deep chocolate brown hair. One of the top advantages is low maintenance because shades of brown don’t require bleach or lightning products, which means there’s less chance of damage.

• Dark hair tends to be thicker and shinier, which works wonderfully with various hairstyles, from long layers and bobs to shorter crops and pixies.
• People tend to view brunettes as intelligent, sophisticated, and intelligent.
• There are many shades of brown to choose from, and brunettes generally suit all shades of makeup and clothing colors and styles.
• Darker hair colors tend to accentuate facial bone structure, eye shape, and color.

Another significant benefit of embracing a shade of chestnut is how well darker hair masks split ends and damage. Going one or two shades darker can quickly appear to “repair” a bad dye job or adequately cover a botched hair treatment, usually caused by over-processing with hair bleach or incorrectly mixing dyes.
