You just might be convinced to lighten up at your next salon visit.


Want to spice up your short haircut? Go ash blonde like Scarlett Johansson. Paler highlights on darker blonde hair create a cool-girl-worthy contrast.

Gwen Stefani's always-iconic hair color is the perfect shade if you're going for an edgy look.

Long mermaid hair is always wonderful, but going golden blonde takes your hair from simply pretty to Sofia Vergara-level sexy.

If you have a warm caramel skin tone, complement your complexion with a deep honey blonde like Beyonce's.

Fair-skinned and love to wear bright lipsticks? Then Cameron Diaz's blonde blend would work well with both your bold makeup and skin tone.

Gorgeous waves that feel like summertime aren't hard to achieve. Just add honey highlights and let your hair shine.

A classic honey blonde like Carrie Underwood's warms up any fair complexion.

Not only does Kristen
Bell's sandy hair color flatter most skin tones, but her shoulder-length
bob works for nearly any face shape.

For a blonde that looks great with almost anything, try Reese Witherspoon's stunning buttery shade.
