What You Need to Know About Going Blonde for the First Time

Summer is a great time to go blonde, especially since we all have more access to our Full Spectrum colorists so we can experiment with a more high-maintenance color like blonde. If you’re thinking of going blonde for the first time, here are a few tips that can help you take the plunge.

Choose the right shade. Your skin tone has a lot to do with which shade of blonde to choose, so make a consultation appointment with your Full Spectrum colorist to discuss which shades would look right on you. There are plenty of gorgeous shades of blonde trending this summer, including some gorgeous highlight colors that make going blonde even easier.

Consider your hair’s condition. Once you’ve chosen a shade, your colorist will take a look at your hair’s condition. If you’re thinking of a super-bright shade of blonde, it will usually take a few processing sessions to get to the color you want, so your hair has to be in great condition to make it happen. If you’ve had a lot of color or texture processing done in the past, your hair might need a few months of intense conditioning before it’s ready to go blonde.

If your hair isn’t quite ready to go blonde but you want to look now for summer, consider trying extensions to get the instant color effect you want until your hair is in great condition for your color treatment.

Understand the commitment. Most blonde hair colors require a lot more maintenance to stay looking bright and beautiful than some other colors, so ask your Full Spectrum colorist about what it will take to keep your blonde looking great. Schedule any touch-up appointments now to be sure you keep your color looking great. You’ll also need the right professional products to make sure your color stays vivid.

Whether blonde is a totally new color for you, or if you’ve gone blonde before but held off on trying it again until all the COVID-19 restrictions were lifted, now is a great time to go for a gorgeous blonde to enhance your summer style!
