#1: Dark Chocolate and Icy Blonde
Combining dark chocolate and icy blonde gives the best of both worlds. Color blocking is a popular trend. It multiplies options as you can choose from numerous shades and levels. Consider choosing shades that contrast. Hair upkeep is intense due to root touchups. When your hair grows, one side exposes the original color. As a hair professional, I suggest scheduling touch-ups every 8 weeks at most.
#2: Light Copper and Cool Blonde Split Hair
When going this light in color, you’re going to be doing a full head of blonding, where a platinum card comes in handy to achieve even lift and precision. This means back-to-back foils in thin sections. Once the desired lift is achieved, select the perfect light copper and blonde to split dye the hair with. I suggest a copper with strawberry notes and a blonde with a balanced cool and gold for a tonal balance.
#3: Light Golden to Dark Hair Ombre
If you prefer something bold, a two-toned ombré could suit your style. This hair coloring involves very different shades that create a strong visual impact. Two-toned ombré is also a stylish method for gradually changing your hair color by letting your original color naturally grow out or by going progressively lighter. Getting a two-toned ombré done needs professional expertise because color placement is crucial.
#4: Two-Toned Hair with Soft Blonde
Two-toned hair featuring a shade of soft blonde is a stylish choice. A modern method to achieve this effect is with dipped tips. For a soft blonde hue, a warm dark brown may complement the overall tone. This technique is akin to an ombré but with less color gradient and a softer, obscured transition. You can pull it back from your face to display more of the blonde or wear it down to reveal the contrast.
#5: Honey Blonde and Brown Two-Toned Hair
Consider a halo color if you like the two-toned hair trend but find the split look too bold. In this style, the underneath of the hair is one shade, and the top is another shade that falls over the top. Clashing colors can be striking. However, for something softer, conventional hues work well. Pair warm tones with warm and cool tones with cool for a harmonious look.
#6: Mushroom-Copper Split Hair Dye with Loose Waves
Try mushroom-copper split hair dye on hair with loose waves. Pair it with a mushroom blonde hair dye. It has blue and gold notes that match well with copper split dye. The blue and gold tones may be opposite in color. Yet, they match well in the color wheel. That’s why they look good next to each other. You need to upkeep this hair dye every 4-8 weeks. This will ensure that you maintain the re-growth and keep the color fresh.
#7: Light Ash Blonde and Brown
You can keep bold color placements tasteful by using similar tones. For instance, light ash blonde and cool-toned mink brown pair well together. This combination also provides a softer take on the dual-color trend.
#8: Dark Blonde and Cream Blonde Split Dye
Split dyes are trending. The first thing to do is to ensure the parting of your hair is correct to avoid color overlap. Both shades in the split dye should be distinct enough to make an impact. However, if you prefer a softer look, choose harmonizing colors.
#9: Half Natural Blonde, Half Golden Copper
Split dyes use bold, contrasting colors. If you want to stand out, this is a good choice. Talk to your colorist about shades that will suit your complexion.
#10: Soft Bronde Reverse Ombre
The reverse ombré features a very soft transition. The top uses a cooler blonde that fades down into a chocolate brown color at the ends, creating a bronde hair color.
#11: Caramel Split Hair Dye
This unique look is suited for all ages. Its caramel golden undertones brighten the face with a reflective glow. This split dye design consists of the hair divided in half and a panel of each tone placed near the temples underneath. It is an edgy yet beautiful color.
#12: Brunette Hair with Blonde Money Piece
A bold money piece split dye is a rad way to look blonde from the front and brown from the back. Enjoy the best of both worlds. Golden tones will keep these colors looking soft and reflective, complimentary of each other. Besides touching up the regrowth every 6-8 weeks, this color is simple to achieve and maintain.
#13: High-Contrast Blonde and Brown
If you want a fun way to add color to your hair, consider using high-contrast blonde and brown split dye. For this look, your stylist first divides your hair into two. Then, they apply a lightening treatment from the roots to the tips on one side. Later, they add a color or a toner that you choose. When styling your hair at home, divide your hair down the middle. You can style it straight, curly, or French braid to show the colors.
#14: Chestnut Brown with Blonde Color Block
The hair was sectioned off for a unique coloring technique known as color blocking. A mix of brown and blonde hues was toned with a cooler color on the hair.
#15: Medium Sandy Blonde Split Hair
Use the color blocking technique by applying a dark brunette color alongside a beautiful sandy-toned blonde color.
#16: Ash Blonde Peekaboo Highlights
Mushroom brown mixed with ash blonde peekaboos makes up one of my favorite color combinations. They perfectly complement each other.
#17: Ash Brown and Beige Blonde
The half-and-half color technique employs two shades: a cool brunette and a pretty beige blonde. Talk to your colorist to see if you can pull off these two shades.
#18: Platinum Blonde with Half Copper
Pairing two different colors in a half-and-half style can be amusing and adaptable. Regardless of the styling, it will look great. Use a copper color for one half and a platinum blonde color for the other.
#19: Light Brown Waves with Platinum Bangs
This shag-style haircut looks stunning when paired with light brown waves and platinum bangs. Once you have chosen a suitable color palette for the color blocking, your stylist will start the process. They will first lighten your bangs and hairline. Then, they will apply a golden platinum toner to the front and a warm copper gloss to the back. You should schedule another appointment in 6-8 weeks. During this visit, you’ll have a bang trim and toner application for proper maintenance.
#20: Dark-Rooted Split Dyed Hair
Looking to have some fun? Try this dark rooted split dyed hair. You can combine different colors over time or even try two colors simultaneously. While one side will have a natural shade of brown for reduced maintenance, the other will be a neutral blonde. The blonde part will be highlighted using a slice technique for full coverage while keeping the roots untouched for lower salon maintenance. Pair this with any haircut you choose for a fun, unique style.
#21: Face-Framing Buttery Blonde Highlights
For split-dyed hair, there’s a twist. The face-framing blonde highlights can mimic a ‘money piece’ by adding maximum brightness around your face. To get this look, your stylist will lighten and tone a balanced amount of hair around your face and hairline. The hair from your ear to the back of your head will be colored a darker tone of your choice. Feel free to choose a fashion tone, or any color that suits you best, for your face-framing money piece.
#22: Half Dark Brown, Half Silver Blonde
A split dye with half dark brown and half silver blonde is a special way to introduce interesting color blocks to your hair. Your stylist will divide your hair exactly in half. They will apply a darker shade on one half and lighten the other. For this split dye style, you need to use a rat tail comb daily. This will ensure your hair stays divided in half and keeps the brown and blonde sections separate.
#23: Bright Blonde and Copper Brown
Combining bright blonde and copper brown creates an appealing color pattern in your hair. This elegant color combination suits those with darker blonde and brunette hair.
#24: Brunette to Light Blonde Ombre
Choose a bold transition from brunette to light blonde ombre! This blend of colors is complimentary and lively. It’s also easy to manage between salon visits, especially if you use your natural hair color as the base.
#25: Sandy Blonde with Dark Hair Underneath
A bold color-blocking technique that contrasts high with a sleek A-line bob would look striking. This allows you to enhance the haircut’s depth and top it with a blonde crown. A haircut and color that complement each other always stay in style. Try using a dark chocolate brown color for the lower sections of your hair and balance it with a warmer sandy blonde on top for a beautiful blend of tones.

Picking the Right Shade for Your Skin
“Prepare to turn a lot of heads! This look is unique,” says Pavia. For those daring enough to try, here’s how to match it with your skin tone:
- Neutral Brunettes: Great for all skin types.
- Dark Skin: Think chestnut or dark chocolate. Reds are good too.
- Cool Skin: Ashy and warm colors, like amber, work well.
- Warm Skin: Chocolate brown is your go-to.
Pavia notes, “The blonde part will need more salon visits to avoid dark roots.” It’s perfect for creative jobs but might not fit in every office.
Keeping Your Color Fresh
“Aftercare is key,” advises Pavia. She suggests shampooing less often to keep the blonde bright. Use special shampoos like Joico or Redken for tone. Also, try Joico’s Defy Damage or Aquage Strengthening shampoo. For deep care, Keune Vital Nutrition or Goldwell’s mask makes wonders.
“Blonde needs a touch-up every 4-6 weeks,” she adds, to avoid uneven color.
What to Discuss With Your Stylist
Pavia urges you to think about:
- Budget: Can you afford regular salon visits and quality products?
- Time: Do you have the time to maintain this look?
- Shade Choice: Let your stylist help pick the best blonde for you.
“Blonde can be pricey and time-consuming but choosing the right shade can boost your beauty,” Pavia concludes. Whether you’re going for bold or subtle, this look demands attention and care. Ready to make a statement?
