Want to dye your hair blonde and get a very natural look? We have 5 tips to help you with this task! When it comes to coloring, one of the main secrets to the long-awaited naturalness is knowing how to choose the ideal shade for you. In addition, the way of application and the frequency of touch-ups make all the difference. Learn the tips!

1. Choose a blonde dye that harmonizes with your skin undertone

Using a nuance that flatters your skin tone is one of the best ways to achieve a natural result when dyeing your hair blonde. Your undertone can be cool and pink or warm and yellowish, just like some hair dyes have warm or cool highlights, such as golden blonde (warm) and platinum blonde (cold).

It is advisable to choose a nuance that causes a light and balanced contrast, with reflections that harmonize with your skin undertone. A simple way to find out if a nuance will enhance your characteristics is to take a virtual test on the Teste Sua Cor platform here at Fica Diva. There you will find the 17 shades of blonde by Cor&Ton and you can take the live test.

2. Avoid shades that are much lighter than your natural hair color

The shades of very light blonde can be very tempting, but they are not always the best option for those looking for a natural result. If your base color - i.e. your natural hair color - is too dark, you will need to bleach your locks to achieve the desired shade.

This can result in orange spots appearing very frequently on the hair, apart from the contrast between the natural root - which begins to appear after a month - and the rest of the length. Therefore, it is worth choosing shades of blonde closer to your natural color. If you are a brunette, the Louro Escuro 6.0, the Blonde Medium 7.0 and the Louro Dourado 8.0 are good bets.

3. Bet on blonde hair with smokey roots to give it a natural look

The overgrown root is one of the main inconveniences for those who dye their hair blonde and want the result to be very natural. And a way to get around this little problem by doing the smokey root. This technique consists of leaving your root darker, in a tone very close to your natural color, and creating a smooth transition from color to blonde. Thus, when your strands grow, the difference between the root and the length will not be noticed.

The internet is full of tips and tutorials on how to smoke your hair at home, but to get a perfect result, it's recommended to go to a hairdresser. That's because this technique requires a lot of precision and advanced knowledge in coloring to not stain blonde hair.

4. Make different types of locks instead of betting on global blonde

The global blonde is loved by many women, but it may not be the best choice to achieve a natural result. Therefore, instead of painting the locks from root to tip, you can lighten just the ends or make different types of locks.

Some locks are easy to replicate at home without professional techniques, like the locks in the front of the hair, for example. This is the best alternative for women whose roots are very dark and grow fast or for those who are not available to touch up the color at the ideal frequency.

5. Make the touches on blonde hair between 45 and 60 days at the most

Did you opt for the global blonde? So you should be aware of the frequency of root touch-ups to maintain the natural result. Healthy hair grows 1.0 to 1.5 cm per month and within that period the root growth begins to be visible. Therefore, it is indicated to retouch the hair color between 45 and 60 days after coloring. This period is considered ideal for the root to be long enough to be lightened without causing damage to the length.

Generally, it is only necessary to retouch the color of the length after the second retouch. However, if you notice that your strands are very faded, you can reapply the dye to the length, remembering that the pause time for the grown root and the already colored length is different.
