It’s hard to play favourites when it comes to hair colour. We could just as easily get lost in a sea of brilliant brunettes as we could in shimmering bright blonde overload. (And don’t even get us started on vibrant redheads.) Search for "blonde hair inspiration" on Pinterest and you'll be scrolling for days.
But we’ll go out on a limb here and say that blonde hair colour inspiration is the most mesmerising of the bunch. Icy, buttery, golden, sun-kissed, soft—the options are endless. And each tiny little tweak can make a world of difference. Which is precisely why we took it upon ourselves to scour the blonde seas and round up the best of the best of every shade of blonde.
Feast your eyes on the beauty of blonde ahead!
