Why It Works
Strawberry blonde is a light blonde with distinctly warm peachy-red undertones, sitting between blonde and light auburn. It is one of the rarest natural hair colors and is particularly flattering on fair to light skin tones with warm or peachy undertones. The pinkish warmth of strawberry blonde harmonizes with rosy complexions and creates a soft, romantic look. For men, it is a subtle but distinctive choice that reads as natural on the right complexion.
How to Style
- 1
Lighten hair to a golden blonde base (level 8) first.
- 2
Apply a strawberry-toned gloss with a low-volume developer.
- 3
Process for 15-20 minutes until the pink-gold warmth is visible.
- 4
Rinse and condition with a color-safe, sulfate-free product.
- 5
Alternate between purple and pink color-depositing conditioners weekly.
Achieve a natural-looking strawberry blonde by asking for blonde highlights with a rose-gold gloss over the top — all-over color often looks too uniform.
Strawberry blonde is a very specific shade that can veer toward too pink or too golden depending on how it is applied. AI color try-on lets you see exactly where on the pink-to-gold spectrum looks most natural against your skin tone.
