Best Blonde Shades For Cool Skin Tones (2024 Updated)

I tried the Brown Booster mixed with the Milk Chocolate toner of the same brand and my hair is STUNNING. I used Blondme’s 40v bond enforcing developer with a “olaplex” like additive to knock down the power of the developer by 10v (making it 30v when mixed) and little to no damage to my hair.

I used a 10v cream bleach from Agebeautiful to lighten my money piece and got beautiful apricot blonde face-framing highlights. I really love Igora’s BlondMe line!.

This wig is so wonderful! I literally was able to cut the extra lace off and put it on! It laid flat. The hair part looks so natural, no need for makeup unless you’d prefer a darker look. The lay of the hair is “butta” so smooth.

The color is amazing, it matches so well with my skin tone. The wig has three clips; one on both sides and one in the back. The only drawback for me is it does not have a band to add more stay security.

My head is a bit small, so I need that extra support. This wig turned so many heads. I was even told “I’m used to being Becky with the good hair, now I can’t because of your new look!” I took it as a compliment.

Such a good wig, I’m buying it again!.

We are in the epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic, our hair salons shut down in March and are not due to reopen until late June. This temporary coloring product does NOT cover gray hairs very well, but DOES add color to the color that’s already there, some shine, and some bounce.

I use Clear Brown, which almost exactly duplicates my salon color, and after reading all reviews I made sure to have some ratty old beach towels and nitrile gloves handy because it definitely will stain if you are not careful.

Follow the instructions and use the timing they suggest. I can’t comment on the other colors offered, but if you want a true brown without brassy or red overtones, this is the color for you. A gentle temporary product that eventually washes out and needs to be used once a week for now, and I can definitely see me using it between salon visits when things get back to normal (or our “new normal”).

Note: I also use John Frieda Brilliant Brunette shampoo and conditioner between this weekly hair coloring product. I would have given this product five stars if only it had covered the emerging grays just a tiny bit better.

I have dark brown hair that pulls red. Over the course of 18 months my stylist worked my hair into a platinum balayage. I have hard well water and have tried several high-end shampoos, conditioners, and hair masks.

Nothing was keeping the orange from creeping back in – even though I only wash my hair every 6 days. This meant yet another trip into the salon for an “anti-brass treatment”. I noticed a significant decrease of the orange in my hair after just one use with this product! Now that I’ve had four applications, people are asking me if I went back to the salon for a touch up! This stuff ACTUALLY WORKS.

I use as directed – I shut the water off in my shower, towel dry my hair, apply the product, wait 3-5 min, and rise out. It’s that easy! I’m definitely a repeat customer and have already made several recommendations to my blonde friends!.

My hairdresser uses this, but I am not sure the exact shade my hair is tinted dark brown, but I recall him asking the assistant to mix more than one Inoa colour so I bought this 3 and the shade 2, plus the peroxide developer massive 1L bottle back in May, but I was reluctant to use it in case I didnt get it right it didnt cover my white roots properly.

Important to know that unlike the usual brands of hair colour you can buy from a chemist or supermarket this is just a tube of colour. You need to buy the Inoa developer peroxide separately and it needs to be the strength required for your colour i.

e. for dark hair It is 20. After waiting for a long time my roots were c. 3 long and pearly, blinding white I finally decided to colour my own hair today, as I couldnt look in the mirror anymore, but I am still not confident enough going out Postlockdown and coming in close contact with people in a salon.

Messy and time consuming as per brilliant advice from a fellow Perfumes of London shopper, best use a kitchen scales to weigh 60g of developer peroxide once you have squeezed the 60g tube of colour or half of each tube, as I did into a bowl the result was salonlike and my hair is back to normal It has freed me from having to wear a wide Lycra band to cover my badgerlike roots during video calls or going for walks.

My husband keeps saying that I look 10 years younger bless. I should have done it a long time ago prepandemic, I had my roots done every three weeks, but I hadnt been to a hairdresser since 12 March until doing the colour myself today.

I have now ordered a couple more tubes, for when those pesky roots start showing up again and I dont feel like having to wear a mask to have my hair done. The advice from fellow Perfumes of London shoppers on what strength peroxide developer to buy and the weighing of the colour developer right proportions was brilliant and invaluable.

Excellent product. I purchased a 6. 1 ash blonde for a brown hair effect. Its sold as a blonde but IS NOT A BLONDE you mix this to the exact same amount of activator. so 50 to 50 of each. mix well and leave it is quite an ash colour, which is perfect, as so many browns are orange, but note that does depend on what its going over if you have orange issues use a blue shampoo to accompany.

I left my colour on for 25 minutes not the 40 recommended. This was long enough to colour any small greay areas, and make the hair go medium brown. I find if its left on for 40 it can go black but my hair is pourous I have purchased this colour many times with the 20 activator and would buy again.

Great product. I have been buying it for more than an year from Perfumes of London. Its always good. Colour lasts. Hair looks shiny. No extra greying. Though my hair has grown thinner but cant say its due to hair colour or other reasons.

Overall great product from loreal and excellent service by Perfumes of London.

My favorite brand to use 100%. leaves my hair shiny, soft, and healthy looking and i have drier hair. i am very happy with this color. i dont care how much more it might be which is not really that much at all, because it works very nice.

will buy for a long time to come yet.

Formerly paid $$$$ at a fancy salon in Miami for color – did some research and realized I could use the same product at home. (And I’ve NEVER tried to color my hair before. I was nervous. ) This canister system is actually PERFECT for the DIY colorist.

Can dispensing system is super clean, keeps the color and activator (separate, of course) totally fresh between applications. I love this color, 10N, and have been playing around with others in the palate.

Regarding cost – I did the math and the cost per application (30 ml each color + activator for touchup/roots) came out to be approx. $2 – wow. Less than the inferior drugstore products. Yes, you do need to purchase the pump and cylinder system to dispense it from the canister, and activator bottle, but that’s maybe a 1-time cost of about $20 for your reusable materials.

So instead of paying $80 at the salon to get my roots done, I can do it myself for about $2. Now I color once a month instead of quarterly – SO much better! So go ahead and do your research and take the plunge.

There are a couple of excellent YouTube videos out there on using Goldwell specifically, and you can download the entire Goldwell colorist manual online in pdf format. Don’t be intimidated – this isn’t rocket science.

Good luck!!.

I purchase this product because my hair stylist uses it and I can touch up roots in-between appointments. The “NN” (neutral neutral) shade is very effective on white and grey hairs. Like my hairdresser, I’ll mix in a small portion of NG(neutral gold) to get natural looking highlights.

I have been doing this for years. The can of dye is used with a measuring cup which enables you to get the product out of the can. This is VERY efficient versus opening a bottle or tube because the remaining product does not disintegrate.

My hair is very healthy and grows quickly, which is both a sign of good health as well as a good product that doesn’t damage my scalp! So I often will mix a tiny amount just to cover my hairline which grows in white.

Having curly hair, other parts of my head can grow in longer without the white or grey showing as quickly.

If a hair dye could be said to be a soul-mate. I have found my soul-mate! For years, I have used those direct deposit “fun” colour type dyes on part of my hair. Some brands are better than others, of course, but they always faded out too fast for me, or left me with stains everywhere (and not just from wet hair.

but while dry. pink sheets, pink fingernails – from merely running my fingers through my dry hair!), so there was always some sort of drawback with them. I have naturally porous hair, so I never needed to pre-bleach in order to get coverage (luckily, I also never aimed for a pastel, either) despite having around a 6 or 7 level hair and auburn/ginger in colour (the orange in my hair did mean that the end colour was not true to the intended colour, though).

I did pre-bleach for this colour, but only to remove the last bits of a deposit dye and because I was unsure about the coverage of this dye. I shouldn’t have worried. Not only did it take wonderfully to the bleached hair (and softened it back up to near-undamaged, as my hair did not like being bleached at all), but it also covered some of the unbleached hair that I accidentally included in the dye coverage, some of which also still had direct dye still staining it.

You cannot tell the difference between bleached, unbleached, and any remaining direct dye stained areas (some bleached parts still had it too). It’s all covered, and looks the same, but without looking flat.

it has dimension to it, like hair should have. So, it doesn’t look like a flat matte lifeless solid wig of pinkish hair. it just looks like. (fuchsia/plum) hair! 🙂 Now, although this colour is a level 9, so you would think it is a light colour.

it is not. The end result (bleached or unbleached) is around a 6 or 7 level (same as my normal level), indoors it does appear slightly darker, too (maybe a 5 or 6 level). This could be due to how porous my hair is, but having seen pictures of others who have used it, I think it just is that dark due to being very pigmented.

But! That *is* what I wanted! The colour is glorious! The -98 part of the number system indicates violet red. 9 = violet, 8 = red. So if you are looking at other Igora colours, keep that in mind. An -88 will be a red red, a -99 will be a violet violet, etc.

The order does matter, as the first number is dominant, the second is to shift it. So an -89 would be redder, and the -98 is more purple. The end result is a wonderful medium/bright fuchsia/magenta (pink!!) in sunlight, and indoors looks more medium/dark plum/wine.

It glows and shines and is sovery soft! Because it doesn’t just coat the hair on the outside, it doesn’t leave any weight or feeling of having something coating your hair (I don’t use styling products, so that’s sort of a big deal to me).

and no funky coloured fingernails! And the shine! It isn’t just vibrant – it shines! It doesn’t leave the hair dull looking at all. My natural virgin healthy hair looks dull in comparison (seriously, I am contemplating actually getting some of this line in a shade to match my own hair colour, just for the shine factor).

If you like a deep purple/pink colour, I highly recommend this colour (and if you don’t change colours every two weeks or something, that is). If you have naturally darker hair than a level 5 or 6, I don’t know what will happen for you (I used a 20 developer, so a 30 may give better results for darker hair), but if you have 6 or lighter, it should come out as a deep berry/wine/plum (the red/pink hue is still present, just muted) indoors and deep bright magenta/fuchsia outdoors.

If you want to add a little pizzaz to a brown dye, just to kick it up a notch, I’d also say this would do the trick, if you add just a bit in with your brown dye and developer. The Igora line also offers some “fun fashion” colours, most of which are in the pastel family.

I would say this could be added to those to achieve a lighter colour of pink, or to punch any of those up a few notches as well. I do not know about mixing it with any other brand of dye, or what that would do to the end result, so I will not comment on that other than to say “proceed with caution” if you choose to do that.

I cannot, as yet, make any claims about the fade factor or how long it will last. But, other reviews of this line say it lasts and lasts with little fading, even the reds. So, I have high hopes, and even if it does fade, I expect it to be slower than any direct dye (and hopefully more evenly).

I wish I had used the Igora developer (contains oil), because if it came out this soft and lovely to the touch (over fried bleach hair!) with cheap no-name developer (it’s what I had on hand from my daughter).

I can only imagine how much better it would have been with the higher quality stuff. Next time, I will!.

Great product. Only downside is I should have ordered the 3-99. There wasn’t quite the amount of violet as I expected. But that may be buyer error. It did have a pretty strong smell, but nothing out of the ordinary for permanent hair dye.

I have medium length, thick hair and one box covered everything. Shipping was fast as well. Would buy again!.

Im in love w this dye just FYI it has light blue hue but it washes off and not too bothersome. The lift is amazing all time high. Such a good dye!. Its not ultra gentle like Joico so please protect hair w olaplex and rinse with water+vinegar to kill the alcalinity and not injure your lengths.

It leaves roots lifted AND toned. Great product!!!! Cant rate high enough.

I love Keune for so many reasons. My hair does not fade like the other hair colors, keep the color very vibrant, shiny and it treats your hair, looking very natural and flawless.

I love this product Redken Shades EQ Cream in 9V! It’s so easy to use and apply myself. This seller Salon Pro, went above and beyond for me because I received the gloss instead. They immediately sent out the cream formula and I just appreciate their quick response and action! I’ve used allot of SEQ Gloss and creams but for me, I prefer the creams due to application on myself.

Great products!!.

I’m naturally dirty blonde but regularly dye my hair dark brown. I alternate between dying just my roots and dying my whole head of hair since the whole thing doesn’t need dying that often but it looks terrible when my blonde roots start coming through.

I usually use one of the other Wella colour touch shades (think it’s 4/71) but decided to buy this one since it was on sale and is also a brown, but it came out looking a reddish brown which just wasn’t very flattering on my roots – in some lighting it just looks brunette but in other lighting you can really see the red.

On the box it says “medium intense brunette brown” so there was no indication of it having strong red undertones but it could have been my mistake – maybe it’s on a colour chart somewhere that I didn’t look at.

Overall though, I really like the Wella Color Touch dyes, I’ve been using them regularly for about a year and a half – they never leave my hair feeling dry and they’re easy to mix and apply.

I actually purchased the wrong color online while I was distracted, I took it to a store who were happy t exchange it for the right color. I have used this product for around 5 years now and am super happy with it.

I find the application easy and the color simply washes out over time. I use a combination of 2 colors and get 3 applications a year which is fine for my level of greying. Would totally recommend!.

This dye is semi-permanent or ‘quasi’ depending on what volume emulsion is used with it. For damaged hair the lowest volume emulsion, 1. 9%, is best – this will only deposit the colour and not lighten the hair at all.

Digital scales help to make sure the ratio of 1 part dye to 2 parts emulsion is achieved correctly. This mixes up to a lovely creamy texture which goes on to the hair really easily and doesn’t drip. It has covered my greys well but subtly and given the hair a very natural-looking colour with a few golden tones among the ash.

When I washed the product off I was surprised how nice the hair felt, and although I conditioned after using, I credit this product with leaving a nice shiny finish on the hair. The product smells lovely with no ammonia tang and I feel quite safe having it on my scalp and hairline.

*I did the allergy test 48 hours prior to using the product and would never use a hair colour without doing this*. Altogether a brilliant product. Comes up a tad darker than one might expect but may lighten after shampooing.

A great product, absolutely chuffed to bits with it. Will definitely purchase again.

When dying my hair at home, I always want an effective result that is easy to obtain. This hair dye not only was easy to apply but also thoroughly covered all my hair (I have very long hair) and was very true to colour on the package.

The hair conditioning treatment also left my hair super soft and the colour has stayed very prominent after many washes. Overall its given a natural finish that certainly enhances my natural hair colour as it didn’t leave it a solid block colour that I usually find some hair dyes do.

The mixing process was also easy to follow and the gloves and instructions sheet made dying my hair, all that much easier. Highly reccomend.

Straightforward instructions & easy to mix. The consistency was great. It was creamy & quite thick so there was no dripping, making it mess free. It wiped away from skin easily. Rinsed quickly & the conditioning mask did a good job of detangling.

My hair was left very soft & shiny & washed well with no colour fading. Shade was a little darker than expected or shown on the box being more of a chocolate than caramel. Overall great product.

Easy application and amazing effect. My hair look shiny, healthier and are so so soft. The colour is just beautiful. I got lots of complaints when I applied products to my hair. Higly recommend as the colour last for long and the condition of hair is really good.
