Looking to elevate your summer look with a fresh, sunny blonde hair color? You’re in luck! We’ve teamed up with the renowned hair expert, Linda Miller, to bring you the ultimate guide to all things sunny blonde. Linda’s years of expertise and passion for hairstyling give her a unique perspective on the best shades, styles, and care tips for your blonde locks. Whether you’re dreaming of a bright platinum, honey-hued balayage, or anything in between, Linda has you covered.

Finding Your Perfect Shade

“Each person’s skin tone and natural hair color will determine which shade of blonde is most flattering for them,” says Linda. “For example, if you have a warm skin tone and your hair is dark, a golden blonde would be most flattering. If you have a cool skin tone and light hair, a platinum or ashy shade would be the best choice.” Consider your skin’s undertones when deciding on your blonde hue. If you’re unsure, a consultation with a professional colorist can help you find the ideal shade for you.

Maintaining Your Sunny Blonde

Linda shares her pro tips for maintaining your stunning sunny blonde. “It’s important to use a good quality shampoo and conditioner,” she advises. “I recommend a purple shampoo for keeping brassy tones out of your hair.” To keep your blonde looking fresh, consider regular toning sessions with your stylist. “I also recommend getting a toner every six weeks to keep the color looking fresh,” Linda suggests. “Using a heat protectant is essential when using hot tools, and I recommend a leave-in conditioner for added moisture.”
