Black and blonde hair are the most wanted for hair changes! And both shades have their pros and cons.

Despite current trends, there are two colors that are always in first when it comes to hair changes: black and blonde. And the fan club of both shades is full of girls who are always willing to defend the tones tooth and nail and who also swear not to give up coloring for anything. Although there is no winner, and not even competition, we decided to compare the pros and cons of each color to try to help those who are in doubt between the two. Come with us to check it out!

Black hair is a classic shade and helps to highlight the look of the locks.

Investing in black coloring is a great alternative for those who want to highlight the strands more and leave the look with a bolder footprint. This color has the characteristic of bringing contrast to almost all skin tones and because of that it manages to guarantee a modern appearance for the hair, even though it is a more traditional tone.

Other advantages include the shine that black provides to healthy hair and the lack of need for a bleaching process to achieve the shade. This last factor makes this coloring less aggressive than blonde. However, black also has its negative points, like all coloring. This tone is not the most suitable for those who like to make a lot of hair changes, because getting out of black is not such a simple task. Another point is the tendency towards opacity and constant retouching.

The blonde has several nuances and brings a brighter look to the strands

The biggest advantage of opting for blonde is the variety in the range of nuances of this tone. There are cold ones, warm ones, greyish, golden, platinum… There are several alternatives to fit your style! Another issue that benefits those who choose lighter colors is the great diversity of coloring techniques that help enhance the blonde. By choosing the color and method of application well, you can easily get hair worthy of a magazine cover.
