The Most Beautiful Blonde Hair Colors To Try in 2022

A mashup of brown and blonde, "bronde" is, according to hairstylist and oVertone Ambassador Douglas Michael, gaining traction. Characterized by a gold base, the end result is more muted. "Blonde doesn't always have to be platinum," he shares.

Sandy blonde is another color you should consider if you want a more "beigey" or muted blonde, according to Michael. This beige hue is a result of combining a gold base with a cooler reflecting shade.

This shade is a combination of cool pearl and a tad of gold, according to Shvonne Perkins, Madison Reed Expert Colorist.

Lauren Williams, an Austin-based hairstylist, adds, "This shade is really the best of the best for just about any skin tone. It softens blondes and adds a creamy, luxurious tone to the hair. A perfect addition to your root shadowed "lived in look" or bright global blondes!"

Try a rose blonde shade if you favor a little more warmth in your locks.

"These are shades that are infused with a little more copper and pearl, giving a not-quite-red yet not-quite-blonde look," Perkins says. "These shades are being embraced because they are easier to maintain than platinum blonde and the tones are more flexible." She goes on to note that tones with more warmth and richness will lend more radiance and reflectivity. "It makes the skin look more luminous and dewier," she says.

Wanting to phase out of pure blonde locks? Williams calls spiced gold blonde a good transitional color.

"Add a little spice to your life by bringing the perfect mix of gold and copper tones to this trendy hue," she says. "It's a great transition for blondes who want to add depth and vibrancy to their locks while achieving tons of shine!"
