Strawberry Blonde

A pale warm blonde with a rosy pink cast running through it, softer and far less saturated than copper.

Where copper leans orange, this leans to the pink end of warm, so it looks like a blonde tinted rose rather than a red diluted down. It moves noticeably with the light: almost peach in sun, close to an ordinary warm blonde under a lamp. The rose pigment is the fragile one and rinses out first, which is why it is usually maintained as a gloss over a lifted blonde base instead of a permanent color.

  • Undertonewarm, neutral. It sits naturally against fair skin with pink or peach undertones because hair and skin share the same rosiness, and it can look chalky against deep olive.
  • Starting pointThe base needs taking up to a light blonde first, since the rose tone is translucent and will not show over gold or orange left behind from a darker level.
  • UpkeepA toner or gloss every four to five weeks, because the pink drops out well before the blonde does, and cool water plus a color-safe wash slows the loss.

Questions about Strawberry Blonde

Which skin undertones suit Strawberry Blonde?
Warm, neutral undertones. It sits naturally against fair skin with pink or peach undertones because hair and skin share the same rosiness, and it can look chalky against deep olive.
What hair do I need to start with for Strawberry Blonde?
The base needs taking up to a light blonde first, since the rose tone is translucent and will not show over gold or orange left behind from a darker level.
How much upkeep does Strawberry Blonde need?
A toner or gloss every four to five weeks, because the pink drops out well before the blonde does, and cool water plus a color-safe wash slows the loss.
Does strawberry blonde suit olive or dark skin?
It is easiest on fair skin with pink or peach undertones, because hair and skin share the same rosiness. On olive skin a pale strawberry blonde can look chalky, so a deeper, more golden strawberry or a copper blonde usually sits better. On deep skin a richer rose gold or copper tends to flatter more than a very pale strawberry.
Can I go strawberry blonde from dark hair?
Yes, but it takes lightening first. The hair has to reach a light blonde before the rose tone shows, because strawberry blonde is translucent and disappears over leftover orange. From dark brown, expect bleach and a toner, often over two sessions, then a gloss every four to five weeks to keep the pink from rinsing out.
Can I try Strawberry Blonde on my own photo before I dye my hair?
Yes. HairGlam puts Strawberry Blonde on a photo of your own hair in a few seconds, so you can check it against your skin tone and eye color before you book or buy a box dye. It is free to download on iPhone and iPad with 12 free looks: 4 haircuts, 4 hair colors and 4 makeup looks, and some looks can also be tried free in your browser at hairglam.app/try.
