Medium blonde hair is a tone of blonde combined with a shoulder-length haircut. If you appreciate a gentle and subtle contrast, then these blonde shades will become your new go-to hair color!
Medium blonde shades can vary from honey, sandy, dirty, ash, copper, to golden blonde tones. These warm and cool blonde shades are stunning and natural-looking, making them perfect for a balayage or ombre.
Blonde and balayage expert Justine Petrucci recommends getting a trim or a haircut, especially when transitioning from darker shades to blonde. “I want to ensure they’re leaving the salon with healthy blonde hair that will grow out beautifully,” she shares.
“Trust your hair colorist to provide insight on the medium blonde tones and placements that will flatter you,” Petrucci advises. “It’s crucial that you consider your skin tone and eye color first before deciding which shade to embrace.”
When asked about upkeep, Petrucci suggests “to swap your typical conditioner for a mask or treatment. After being lightened, our hair requires more moisture. Everyone washes their hair, so I know even the busiest woman can manage it!” Olaplex is her top must-have product, as it strengthens and repairs the hair wonderfully.
