What is Blonde?

Blonde is a variety of things! It’s a way of lightening your hair to get that sun-kissed finish—whether you're a brunette looking for dimension, a global blonde wanting that full head icy finish, or after a lived-in blonde vibe that looks natural and low maintenance.

Blonde is a lifestyle... and it definitely comes with maintenance! Having blonde in your hair can give it more texture and make it more porous, which means it needs some extra love and care with the right aftercare and products. (On the plus side—porous hair often styles easier because it’s not super silky, so you get more hold and shape when styling!)

Here are some of the different types of blonde you can choose from:

• Soft sun-kissed highlights – This is perfect if you want a natural, barely-there glow. Think light touches around the face and through the ends for a subtle, fresh feel.

• Global blonde (full head scalp bleach) – For those who want that full, bright, bold blonde—this one’s all over and all out!

• Foilyage / Balayage – A hand-painted, more blended blonde that mimics how the sun would naturally lighten your hair. It can be soft and subtle or dialled up for a more dramatic effect.

• Lived-in blonde – Perfect if you’re after low maintenance. It grows out beautifully with natural roots and keeps the brightness through the mid-lengths and ends.

  
  

Not sure what to ask for?

Here’s a quick breakdown:

✨ Want to brighten your brunette but keep it soft? Ask for sun-kissed highlights or a soft balayage.

💥 Love a bold look? Global blonde or a bright foilyage is for you.

🌿 After something chill and easy to maintain? Try a lived-in blonde.

Blonde is also the starting point for creating fun, vibrant shades—think pastel pinks, lilac, rose gold or even minty tones. Bleaching first helps those colours pop!

And finally... let’s talk toners. Toners are the magic touch that finish off your blonde. They softly fade over time and help you achieve the exact tone you're after. Think:

• Ice

• Biscuit

• Sand

• Gold

• Ash

• 
  

You can also add pastel hues to your toners for those dreamy soft shades.
