5 Best Strawberry Blonde Hair Dye and Colors

As you might have noticed in our previous guide on ash blonde hair ideas, the top rated brands are almost the same because they produce the best temporary and semi-permanent hair dyes. You can get these hair colors at drugstore for cheap and still achieve the highlights or shades of blonde that are just as good as those that celebrities wear. Here’s a list of my top 5 favorite strawberry blonde hair color brands and products. These are very easy to use, and have the best intensity without damaging your hair.

1.    L’Oreal Strawberry Blonde Hair Color

L’Oreal makes some of the best dyes out there. They market their colors as fade defying and I tend to think they mean just that when compared to a lot of other brands I have reviewed. So, which L’Oreal color should you buy? Well, there is a range called Preference. A top quality strawberry blonde color is the L’Oreal Preference 9GR Light Golden Reddish Blonde.

• The 9GR is good for people who have a warm skin tone.
• If you are of cool skin tone, avoid this one because you will end up with hair that looks too orange or something close to yellow.
• Another important recommendation is that L’Oreal hair dye in strawberry blonde is very suitable for people with naturally lighter hair than those with darker natural hair. If your hair is lighter than medium brown, then you can use this color.
• Lastly, it is a permanent dye. So, if you are looking for a semi-permanent hair dye or something temporary, go with the others and not the 9GR.

2.    Revlon Hair Color in Blonde Strawberry Shade

From Revlon Colorsilk, we all know that their products are also good. I particularly think most people I have seen review Revlon products think that the Colorsilk 72 Strawberry Blonde product is one of the best for creating strawberry highlights with a ting of copper tones. It is a permanent hair color with a level 8 medium blonde depth. If you want to go blonde on a fair skin and different eye colors, consider the following two tips.

• Avoid applying it to hair that was previously dyed any darker than a medium blonde tint. Also, if your natural hair is darker than medium brown, avoid using this permanent dye.
• Since red hair tones fade faster than other colors, ensure you use a good conditioner on your hair to make the color intensity long lasting.

3.    Garnier Nutrisse

We have not been using Garnier products so much lately, but the Garnier Nutrisse Hair Coloring #94, according to most reviews I have seen, was one of the best strawberry blonde hair dye brands out there. Its exact tint is apricot, or if you like a light reddish blonde.

UPDATE: It might be unfortunate that this one has been discontinued, but there are other light strawberry blonde colors from them. Or perhaps it is time to try strawberry blonde hair wigs – kidding. What about Clairol brand? Can we find something?

4.    Clairol Nice N’ Easy 107

Another top brand is Clairol. The Nice N’ Easy 107 product produces a sun-lit effect on your hair with the reddish tones of strawberries that you are just looking for. Being a conditioning treatment, it will make your hair with a naturally striking shade. The box indicates that in one easy step of application, you will change your hair color fast enough without too many procedures. This color also has a 100 percent grey coverage according to the manufacturer. You can also use this to make your own highlights.

Sally’s Beauty Supply hair extensions and colors are also known to give a great effect and contrast on skin for people who are looking for copper and reddish toned hair. You could also try them if you do not want to dye your hair permanently or semi-permanently.

Something that is worth knowing for any woman who wants to go blonde, especially if your hair is brown, dark brown (brunette hair colors) to natural black hair, bleaching must be part of the process. You see it is easy to work around strawberry blonde hair color ideas when you are a natural blonde than when you want to completely shift to this warm hair shade.

So, if you are not a natural strawberry blond, will this dye suit you?

There are natural hair color formula products or kits that you can buy to put on your hair and change to this. But how will you look with this hair color idea? Will it look good on you?

• This shade of blonde stands out as a lighter color with reddish hair dominating. Some people prefer the red highlights to be dominant while others use it as a whole color for the hair.
