What is Neutral Blonde Hair?

A neutral blonde hair color is neither cool nor warm – it’s somewhere in the middle. It doesn’t have distinctive undertones, which makes it one of the most versatile blondes for all skin types. You can wear it at any level of brightness, too, so if you love bronde tones, you could try a dark neutral blonde, or if you’re all about platinum, go ultra-light with a beautifully balanced hue.

How Does Neutral Blonde Compare to Ash Blonde?

Ash blonde is a cool hair color, so it’s very different to a neutral blonde. It has that smoky, silvery edge that softens warmth, while neutral hues have no discernible undertone. However, the two can work well together in taking hair cool without looking too silvery. So, if you want just a hint of smokiness against a suits-everyone blonde, ask our L’Oreal Professional hair colorist to add ashy highlights to your neutral look.

Is Neutral Blonde Good for Covering Grey Hair?

Yes, you can use a neutral blonde hair color to cover grey hair. Head to to our L’Oreal Professional hair coloring salon, and your stylist will help you find a neutral shade that gives you the coverage you want. You could try blending greys with neutral blonde highlights, which will add dimension against the coolness of those silver strays. Or, if you want to hide them, demi-permanent Redken ShadesEQ will give you up to 70% grey coverage, while permanent formulas like Majirel and INOA ammonia free will lock in up to 100% grey coverage.

If ‘quiet luxury’ were a hair color, this is what it would look like. Gloriously golden, yet beige, balanced and bright, it appears to radiate health from within. That kind of lustrous finish can be achieved with REDKEN ShadesEQ’s true-to-tone vibrancy and shine. Packed with Metal Purifier, this one-of-a-kind, demi-permanent color neutralizes metals in your hair, so your color reflects the richest tones from root to tip.

You don’t have to go neutral all over. If you like the glow boost that warmer undertones bring, ask your colorist to add hints of golden toned blondes to your color formula. Just a touch of gold is giving these curls a dose of rich radiance, boosted by Majirel Hair Color, our permanent hair color for youthful, natural-looking shades that look luminous in every light.

Platinum blonde is a tricky color to get right. Take it too warm, and you lose that light, bright feel, but take it too cool and it becomes more of an icy, frosted shade. So, if platinum is your goal, getting a neutral balance of gold and silver helps. Luminosity is also essential, as lighter hair doesn’t tend to reflect light easily. So, ask our hair colorist to achieve your base with bleaching for up to nine levels of lift, followed by REDKEN ShadesEQ Color.

Neutral blondes are usually soft, seamless and super-blended, but a chunky balayage is giving us all the sun-kissed, beachy vibes. It’s the ultimate lived-in look, with a root shadow contrasting against lightened lengths, made possible with the power of bleaching. Not only does this cutting-edge lightener give you up to nine levels of lift – great for ultra-bright ribbons like these – but it also harnesses bond-strengthening technology for up to 97% less breakage. Plus, it features an anti-brass complex, so your neutral won’t lean too yellow and warm.

When you want cool but not too cool, this is the hair color for you; a melt of neutral beige and sandy hues with the subtlest ashy sheen. The face-framing layers go brighter and cooler, but the rest of the hair brings balance to the look. And your colorist may be able to achieve the shade in one step with L’Oreal Professionnel Majirel palette. These high-lift blondes lift and tone in one for a quicker service with dreamy results, plus they’re bleach-free and packed with caring lipids that condition from root to tip.

If you’re a brunette looking to give blonde a try with a low-commitment feel, a neutral blonde ombre is perfect, giving you a seamless boost of brightness. The balance of warm and cool tones means you’re guaranteed a shade that’s going to suit your skin tone, and keeping your natural root in place ensures minimal maintenance. A Color Glaze is bringing all the gloss in this blended look; our zero-lift, zero-damage acidic color for up to 250% shinier hair. Seriously, this is a shine you can feel.
