Do you like how Rachel McAdams or Adele wear their hair? Yes, strawberry blonde with a subtle touch of red is really tempting.
Talking about its craze, this hair color is not something that has become a rage all of a sudden. Though rare, the color takes us back to the Italian Renaissance. Women used to apply lemon juice and saffron to their hair to create the right effect.
Why Is Strawberry Blonde Hair Rare?
Strawberry blonde hair color belongs to the red hair color group, and it is the lightest in the shade. It’s very uncommon to have this hair color naturally. And when I talked with salon experts, most of them opined that this is a shade that fuses red, copper, blonde, fuchsia, and coral. Surprisingly, finding the “strawberry blonde” color on the charts of commercial hair color companies is not easy.
Companies like L’oreal have Excellence Reddish Blonde hair color or Excellence Red Penny hair color. But to create the right shade, one has to mix and match.
Another reason why people don’t search for “hair strawberry blonde” much is because the term is not familiar. Due to the complexity of achieving and creating the right blonde shade, no professional hair or beauty company has promoted this shade as a hot trend.
Nevertheless, besides Adele and McAdams, we can now see Nicole Kidman, Connie Britton, and many celebs flaunting this hair shade. I also love how Julia Roberts recently sported her strawberry blonde balayage.
Who Has Strawberry Blonde Hair Color Naturally?
Strawberry blonde beautifully fuses two colors. If you get to see natural blonde hair, you will see how it’s primarily a red hair color complemented with a few strands of blonde hair.
According to a study, the MC1R gene and its variations are mainly responsible for people having red hair and the “flip-flop effect.” So, a person can only naturally have this hair color when both parents carry this gene.
Having said that, you find some people in Northern and Western Europe flaunt this color. Still, if we consider the entire population in the world, a total of only 0.5-5% of people are likely to be born with this hair color.
Getting Strawberry Blonde Color For Your Hair
So, getting the strawberry blonde color for your hair will not be an easy task. But it looks so irresistible that I could not help asking opinions from hair experts and salon owners. They reverted with brilliant hair color ideas, and I share some of them.
Light Strawberry Blonde Hair
Getting light strawberry blonde hair means getting a subtle pinkish undertone in your blonde hair. This color will brighten your hair and give it a natural shine.
This lighter version of blonde is also great for people with gray hair. It’s chic and stylish.
Blonde Hair With Bright Red Highlights
If you are still searching for “strawbery hair” by mistake, get your spelling right, and you will find the option I am about to share.
This is not the ideal strawberry blonde you are looking for, but still, you can achieve close to the effect. Also, if you have long and straight hair, this combination really works.
Caramel Strawberry Blonde
How about striking the right balance of dark and light undertones in your hair? Caramel blonde seems to be the ideal styling solution for that.
The blonde will lend your hair a lighter undertone and make the entire affair very refreshing. Caramel blonde, on the other hand, will add dimensions with a darker undertone.
Natural Strawberry Blonde
No, I am not talking about having strawberry-blonde hair naturally. The idea is to get a hair color that makes the desired blonde effect look natural.
If I go by the looks of Nicole Kidman, I find her strawberry-blonde hair refreshingly natural. This effect is created by maintaining the natural blonde shade to a large extent and then subtly adding some light brown or ginger undertones.
Strawberry Blonde Balayage In Amethyst
So, you really want to make it “bold and beautiful.” What’s stopping you? Be creative and go for the strawberry blonde hairstyle with amethyst balayage. It’s a cool thing to sport. Especially if you have short hair, you can get the hair ends dyed with amethyst.
If you want more funk, shades like light pink, green, and blue are also there. But if you ask me, I would suggest avoiding the neon shades.
Mahogony Strawberry Blonde
This is really classy, and you will even see many models flaunting this look in hair color commercials. The entire effect is very rich, and it gets the best definition when done on long hair. The bright and bold effect of this hair color comes from the perfect fusion of strawberry blonde and auburn.
Strawberry Blonde in Copper Color
Strawberry blonde in copper color is again a balancing act of lighter and darker shades. The right melange of copper and orange on blonde hair makes this effect possible.
This effect is the most suitable if you have long hair with decent volume. Copper blonde hair looks when left loose, tied into a ponytail, or braided properly.
Highlighted Strawberry Blonde
Most of us visualize long tresses creating the perfect Sun-kissed effect if we talk about blonde hair. Simple, it may look, but it’s not easy to get as creating the right balance of highlights and lowlights becomes a task.
When done perfectly, the hair gets a unique dimension.
Final Words:
Strawberry blonde is not an easy shade to achieve for coloring your hair. You will see many tutorial videos or blogs on the internet regarding how to get this hair color at home. Don’t follow them if you don’t want to ruin how your hair looks. If you at all want this shade for your hair, you will definitely need a professional hair stylist.
Further, rare hair colors like strawberry blonde or ginger hair with blonde front pieces do not go well with darker skin tones and are more suitable for pale or wheatish complexions.
Don’t get me wrong! Being rare, this hair color comes with its pros and cons. So, explore different styles, think whether it will suit you or not, and then go for it.
Also, hey beautiful, don’t forget to share if you have tried some unique coloring ideas of late.
