How would you describe this?
Lots of girls want blonde hair with dark roots. This color is a more natural white. Natural white means you have the bright white tones but there’s still a little warmth there. The dimension in this color makes the highlighted pieces look even brighter. Can’t have light without dark right?
The shadow root is another favorite of women! It makes the highlight seamless and melty. Also, it allows women more flexibility with scheduling their salon visits. Bright, white, strong hair without the maintenance.
What’s your best advice?

Plus, an occasional gloss at the salon once a month to maintain that beautiful blonde. Malibu C is one of the best products for blonde hair out there.
If you’re debating on going blonde, do it! It’s just finding the perfect blonde that fits with your maintenance plan!

How would you describe this?
This is a very dark-rooted blonde melt. Ash-blonde hair with dark roots is a darker color combination for women who want to stay away from brighter shades of blonde. This color is for women who want to be more white blonde, but also darker. Ask for a dark rooted blonde to allow your natural color to come through. This way you don’t compromise your blonde. Ask for a 4A on your regrowth and blonde combed into your hair to give it that melted color. This will help to avoid a harsh painted line. Foils along the hairline can be brought up to this beautiful platinum blonde.
This rooted blonde has the right amount of change without going completely dark. Touch up your highlights every 6-8 weeks. This color is perfect for women who have a natural dark base. It’s also for women who don’t want the maintenance of getting their hair highlighted every 4 weeks.
What’s your best advice?
It takes time and money. Products are key.
Some women will need to see their colorist 3 times before getting to this beautiful platinum. Use purple shampoo, heat protectant, and professional products. Regular cuts also make all the difference.
If your blonde locks lose moisture, oil your ends. Don’t forget, a little oil goes a long way. Blonde isn’t for all women, and that’s ok. Talk to your colorist about a rooted color that works for you!

Q&A with style creator, Xanthi Diamond
Stylist and Color Specialist @ Meraki Hair Studio in Clarksville, TN
How would you describe this?
This is a warm blonde balayage with a deep contrasting base color. Honey blonde hair with dark brown roots adds depth to the root and makes the blonde more dramatic. The stark contrast of the light ends and dark root blonde hair blends naturally during the grow-out process. The long layers give a graceful flow to the color scheme as well.
What’s your best advice?
This look is a great way for brunettes to go blonde. The root blonde color and tone complements the natural coloring of most women. The dark hair on blonde hair is also lived-in. Maintenance is only required as often as you would like to bring the blonde up.
If you like a low maintenance color and wear your hair down mostly, this blonde color would be ideal. Make sure to use a thermal protectant product when heat styling those blonde ends. Also, purple shampoo will keep the blonde from going too warm between salon visits.
