Is Dark Blonde the Same as Dirty Blonde?

Dirty blonde is just one of many dark blonde hair colors. It’s a look that sits within the same family of shades, so if you get a dirty blonde look you’re also getting a dark blonde color. A dirty blonde tends to be cooler in tone, and high on contrasting highlights. Typically, it features a light brown base and bright strokes of lightener in ashy, sandy and earthy tones.

Dark Blonde Balayage: How dreamy is this balayage? Mimicking the highs and lows of a natural blonde in summer, it features brown tones at the root and light-reflective, warm blonde hues through the mid-lengths and ends.

Dark Honey Blonde Hair: Give dark blonde hair a drop of honey to reach this beautifully decadent look. While the honey shades on the ends are light with golden undertones, a bronde hue appears through the roots and mid-lengths. The result: a majorly multitonal mane that’s made even glossier with a color glaze. Want this level of glow? Ask your colorist to tone your highlights with Redken ShadesEQ for a zero damage, zero lift, translucent veil of color. Not only will it leave your hair up to 50% smoother and softer, but it also makes it up to 250% shinier. Who wouldn’t want that?!

Dark Ash Blonde Hair: If you like your blonde cool, clean and ashy, discover this season’s suede blonde trend. Suede isn’t just a fall wardrobe staple; it’s a soft and smooth color that can also be worn through lengths for a muted glow.

Dark Golden Blonde Hair: This glimmering, glittering, golden blonde is the epitome of goddess hair, with a mix of chocolate brown, dark blonde and medium blonde hair tones. Redken ShadesEQ is your toner of choice when you want a hair color this glossy. Ask one of our L’Oreal Professional hair colorists to turn up the richness and radiance with gilded shades of this iconic color glaze.

Dark Blonde Sun-Kissed Highlights: This is blondish hair, a shade so effortlessly cool and stunningly sun-kissed that it looks like it’s fresh off a California beach.

Dark Blonde Reverse Balayage: A traditional balayage is dark at the roots and lighter through the lengths, but dark blonde presents the perfect opportunity to give a reverse balayage a go. The lightness is focused through the top layer of the hair, starting at the roots, while all the depth in the lower layers takes center stage through the lengths and ends. For colors this rich, Redken ShadesEQ is the ideal toner. Its uncompromised vibrancy and shine makes deeper tones appear extra dimensional.

Bronzed Dark Blonde: Hints of honey, caramel brown and metallic bronze give hair a cool, undone vibe while still appearing polished. We’re calling this particular look ‘old money bronde’. This glow-boosting breakthrough protects the clarity of the hair cuticle, so light can actually enter each strand and illuminate it from within.

Dark Strawberry Blonde Hair: Redheads, we haven’t forgotten about you. If you want to try the dark blonde trend, explore a warmer, deeper version of a strawberry blonde. A scattering of copper tones will enrich your look, and it’s easier to maintain than you might think.

Dark Blonde Face-Framing Highlights: If you’re a brunette who’s looking to dip a toe into the dark blonde trend, ease in with just a hint of lightness by asking your colorist for face-framing highlights. This gives you subtle highlights that shimmer through the front layers of your hair.
