Is there anything sweeter than strawberry blonde hair? With all the shine ofย copperย and lightness ofย blonde, itโ€™s a red-meets-gold hue that warms up the complexion and makes locks look positively luminous. The trend is no one-tone wonder, either; strawberry blonde can be worn deep and rich or light and bright, so you can custom-blend the shade to flatter just about everyone.

Want in? Whether youโ€™re wearing the shade yourself or youโ€™re a colorist mixing it up for your clients, hereโ€™s everything you need to know about strawberry blonde hairโ€ฆ

HOW TO GET STRAWBERRY BLONDE HAIR

Thereโ€™s no one-size-fits-all formula for creating strawberry blonde hair. The shades, volumes and levels of pre-lightener needed all come down to the base color youโ€™re working with. If youโ€™re going strawberry blonde from brown, expect a few turns in the salon chair, while natural blondes may find one session is enough to reach the juiciest tint.

1. GOING STRAWBERRY BLONDE FROM BRUNETTE

This is the trickiest shade to turn strawberry blonde. For brunettes, all-over lightening is a must, as itโ€™s not a color that tends to blend well with copper balayage. For this, colorists should useย Blondor Multi-Blonde Powderย until they reach a pale yellow hue, which may take a few salon sessions and plenty of our bond-strengthening system,ย WellaPlex.

Then, tone using a hair-kind, permanent formula, likeย Koleston Perfect. Not only does it deliver our purest pigment yet, but it also gives you less hair damage color after color* – ideal after such high volumes of lightener.

2. GOING STRAWBERRY BLONDE FROM RED

If youโ€™re working withย copper hair, youโ€™re in luck; going strawberry blonde is a simple process, made easier with ribbons of our freehand pre-lightener,ย Blondor Freelights. Apply in root-to-tipย blonde highlightsย or try aย balayageย technique, concentrating golden blonde hues through the mid-lengths and ends, while the roots of the hair are left that little bit deeper.

For hair thatโ€™s naturally a darker red, up the number of lightened sections, leave some of them blonde, and tone others with a soft copper hue, like demi-permanentย Color Touchย 8/43. The effect is beautifully multi-tonal.

3. GOING STRAWBERRY BLONDE FROM BLONDE

For light or medium blonde hair, there are so many ways to wear the strawberry blonde trend. Our favourite? In a sheer, all-over, almost-peachย tint with hints of gold sparkling through. On a blonde base, try adding a scattering of semi-permanentย Color Fresh CREATEย lowlights, mixing Nu-Dist Pink with a drop of warmth, like Uber Gold or Hyper Coral for a strawberry hue.

Best of all, our Color Fresh CREATE pigments always pastelize true to tone, so the strawberry tint still looks fresh and bright through the fading process. The dream for first-time redheads.

STRAWBERRY BLONDE BALAYAGE

The best strawberry blondes are multi-tonal, which is whyย balayageย is ideal for this trend. The painterly approach sees blonde sections sparkle, while warmerย lowlightsย  Opens in a new tabย add a little extra plumping dimension. To up the volume further, tong sections of hair by wrapping mid-lengths to ends around theย Pro-Curl tong, then lightly spritz withย EIMI Glam Mistย for a boost of brilliant shine.

LIGHT STRAWBERRY BLONDE

A little likeย rose gold hair,ย light strawberry blonde is more pastel pink than radiant red, featuring slices of blushed blonde with a subtle coppery edge. This particular mane was colored atย Studio Belloย in Finland, featuring Blondor + 4% for the highlights and a gloss using Illumina Color 10/95 + 9/04 + 9/43 + 9/60. The dream blend.

DARK STRAWBERRY BLONDE

Emma Stone, Rachel McAdams and Isla Fisher are all fans of a dark strawberry blonde hair color; a shade thatโ€™s brimming with depth, on the brink of a rusty, red-toned brown. If you like locks with plenty of warmth, make sure you always mistย EIMI Thermal Imageย before styling; a heat protectant spray that gives deeper, richer tones a little extra gloss.

Strawberry Blonde Hair | How to get the look at home.

strawberry blonde hair at home

Watch out, strawberry blonde is back. And weโ€™re here with everything you need to know about how to get the look at home.

Blonde hair is taking over this year and with so many tones, colour variations, hair dyes, styles and hues to choose from, itโ€™s not hard to see why.

From ash blonde, highlights, ombre and balayage, to platinum, caramel and rose gold, you can change things up and add a bit of spice and excitement as often as your blonde hair desires.

One such colour thatโ€™s storming up the colour trend charts for this year is Strawberry blonde. Red hair colours are always hot and this soft, sexy pink hue is a delicious addition.

But can everybody pull off this shade? What tone should you go for if you have dark hair or light hair? How do you dye my own hair at home without ruining it? Weโ€™re going to answer all these questions today. Read on!

What is strawberry blonde hair?

First things first โ€“ what does strawberry blonde mean exactly? Basically itโ€™s reddish blonde with golden undertones.

This fruity colour from the red hair family is a perfect blend of pale red or pink and warm, golden blonde shades.

Itโ€™s a tone blondes or redheads enjoy flirting with to add a bit of shimmering depth or lighten their natural colour.

And it also looks incredible when blended with other complementary hair colour ideas like blonde and auburns to createย ombre,ย balayageย and even subtleย pink highlights.

Wear it long or short, with wavy hair, sleek poker straight or curly haired styles โ€“ this hue rocks them all.

Check out the latest looks for ideas and inspiration.

Is strawberry blonde hair red or blonde?

Strawberry is a shade that dances between blonde and red hair and is not quite one or the other โ€“ itโ€™s the best of both.

It has the softness of red hair with the sun-kissed lightness that comes from flaxen (pale naturally blonde colour), making it anything from red to gold to amber in different lights.

The best way to describe it is the colour of strawberry ice cream!

Whatโ€™s the difference between strawberry blonde and ginger?

There are many colour variations on the strawberry blonde hair colour chart. The most popular right now are:

Ginger hairย a natural red hair shade with more orange tones to it than soft strawberry.

Copper hairย is also a variation on ginger thatโ€™s more metallic and orange-red in tone.

Strawberry blonde is a lighter, pinker colour that can be a natural red colour with strawberry blonde highlights.

Whatโ€™s the difference between strawberry blonde and rose gold?

So whatโ€™s the deal with rose gold? Is it not just an updated version? A little bit yes.

Rose goldย is part of the edgy new metallic colours like copper, gold and silver that are all the rage in everything from hair colour to homewares.

Rose gold is more ashy, metallic and pink than more natural looking strawberry so itโ€™s more suited to those with darker tones.

Strawberry is a warmer shade of red so pale skin, light eyes and light hair peeps will suit it best.

Auburnย is another similar shade from the red hair family. But itโ€™s usually darker and more light brown-red and with less of a blonde tone than strawberry.

What skin tones does strawberry blonde look good on?

This is a warm blonde colour with a golden-reddish blonde tint. If you have fair skin, blue or green eyes and freckles, itโ€™ll look awesome on you.

Thatโ€™s not to say cooler tones canโ€™t carry it off. Here youโ€™ll need to pick a deeper, cooler hue like an ashy rose gold to make it shine.

Use our checklist below to find out your undertones!

If you have cool undertones:

  • You have a fair skin tone and a complexion thatโ€™s pink or pale.
  • You will blush really easily!
  • Jewel tones and pastel colours look great on you.
  • Yellow is a colour that youโ€™d never wear as it washes you out.
  • You have blue veins and not green veins in your wrist.
  • Pearls and silver jewellery are very flattering on you.

If you have warm undertones:

  • You have red or golden shades in your natural hair colour.
  • Your skin tone and complexion is golden, tan or olive.
  • You might have and used to have freckles.
  • You have green colour not blue colour veins in your wrist.

How can I get strawberry blonde hair at home?

Good news dear friends! It is totally possible to dye your own hair this stunning shade of strawberry blonde at home!

But whether youโ€™ll achieve dark or light shades of golden strawberry very much depends on the base colour your hair is now.

If your current hair colour is darker than blonde, youโ€™ll need to lighten it first before you can achieve the strawberry look at home. Be careful! This will involve bleach. Read ourย guide on how to bleach your hair safely at home here.

Youโ€™ll need a blonde base to apply the golden strawberry reds and pinks that make this light colour. If your hair is already a natural red hue such as auburn, go for more golden shades of red and pink to add depth and warmth to blonde hues.

We always suggest having a chat with your hairdresser if youโ€™re thinking of trying out a new colour or do. Theyโ€™ll know if your hair colour and condition is up for it.

If youโ€™re au fait with home hair dyeing and just want to do it, thereโ€™s good news. Thereโ€™s a variety of soft pink and red hair box dyes out there that will strawberryfy your locks.

17 Strawberry-Blonde Hair Color Ideas to Inspire Your New Hue

strawberry blonde hair ideas

If you’ve ever looked at someone’s hair color and wonderedย Is their hair red or blonde?ย Here’s your answer: It’s both, and it’s called strawberry blonde. Like the lighter version ofย auburn hair,ย strawberry blondes have found that sweet spot right in between red and blonde tonesโ€”think rich blonde or golden red, not brassy. If you’re looking for a way to add some bright light to this dark, gloomy season, try strawberry blonde. Even if you’re not a natural redhead or blonde, you can still try the look for yourself with a little help from your colorist (noย bleaching your own hair, k?!). Ahead, we’ve got 17 ways to wear the look on all different hair lengths, types, and textures. You know the drillโ€”scroll through, screenshot the one you like (if you can pick just one), then try it out for yourself.

1Classic Strawberry Blonde

If you were to close your eyes and picture a strawberry blonde hue, it would look something like this color, which isย equal parts blonde andย red hair. Play up the peachy shade with matching peach-tonedย eyeshadowย andย blush.

2Apricot Blonde Hair

What do you get when you add a pinch of strawberry pink toย blonde hair? Thisย warm blonde with apricot undertones. Try it next time you’re bored of your cool-tonedย ash-blond hueย and want something a little richer.

3Peach Blonde Hair

Not into strawberries? Pick peach instead! This lookย leans a little more orange than redย (ya know, just like the fruits do) and is a cool alternative to the classic strawberry blonde. If you’re looking for a funย spring hair color idea, this is it.

4Rosy Gold

Bring golden hour with you everywhere you go with a rosy-goldย (not to be confused with rose gold; we’ll touch on that later) strawberry blonde shade like this one. It’s kinda the perfectย summer hair color.

5Strawberry-Blonde Ombrรฉ

How dreamy is this color gradient that goes fromย neutral brown at the roots, to strawberry blonde in the middle, and bright blonde on the tips? It’s everythingย ombrรฉ hairย in 2021 should be.

6Warm Blonde Hair

Warmer shades of blonde are known to look amazing on darker skin tones andย warm undertones. If you like your color to complement your complexion, chooseย a strawberry blonde to add brightnessย and combine it with a darker root for dimensionย (it’ll help with the grow-out phase too).

7Strawberry-Blonde Hair Dye

Your colorist can whip up a gorgeous pastel peach like this no prob, but if your hair is already lightened and you want to try it yourself,ย use aย color-depositing conditionerย orย temporary hair dyeย for DIY color that fades as you wash it.

8Natural Strawberry Blonde

Even natural redheads tend to lose their color brightness during the bleak winter months.ย Bring back the vibrancy of your color with aย hair glossย or glazeย and someย highlights.

9Rose Gold Hair

For a strawberry blonde color that reads as pink more than red or orange, you’ll want to tryย rose-gold hair. This is proof thatย strawberry blonde can also be on the cooler side, like the ashy look shown here.

10Sunkissed Strawberry Blonde

I think I speak on behalf of all of us when I sayย thisย was the look we were hoping for back in our experimental Sun In days. Thisย brown hair with highlightsย isย warm and glow-y, but not at all brassy and orange.

11Copper Blonde Highlights

Looking for a cool way to switch up your usual color and style? Add a few strawberry blonde streaks byย incorporating strands in various shades of copperย to yourย braided hairstyle.

12Strawberry Blonde With Highlights

If you’re a naturalย redheadย and you want to lighten up your hair, why not try a strawberry blonde highlighted look? Justย ask for a few baby highlights throughout and bright blonde money piecesย in the front.

13Caramel Strawberry Hair

I’m not sure caramel strawberries are a thing IRL, but on your hair? The twoย hair color trendsย go amazingly well together. With this hue, you getย a mix of brown and blonde shades together with the strawberryย for a really rich, golden color.

14Face-Framing Highlights

If you’ve got naturally darker hair, I’m gonna stop just short of forcing you to try these strawberry-blonde highlights. SO GOOD.ย Dark brown hair with balayageย and face-framing pieces brings so much brightness and warmthย around the face, and the strawberry blonde color only amplifies that.

15Shades of Pink

Strawberry is one of those colors that can mean a million different things to different people.ย If your idea of strawberry isย pinkย and lots of it, add different strawberry shades throughout your hair. If you’reย dyeing your natural hair, make sure to see a pro to get you to the color you want without risking the health of your strands.

16Copper Blonde Hair

How cute are these strawberry blondeย bangs?! Copper is one of the go-to fiery red shades, but if you want to tone it down a bit,ย try a blonde copper or rose gold for a softer look.

17Creamy Strawberry Blonde

I dub this hue strawberries and cream. If you take aย creamy blonde and add a bit of strawberry color to the roots, this faded strawberry color is what you’d get. Because reds can be hard to maintain, make sure to switch toย shampoos for color-treated hairย to preserve your peach blonde color.
