What Makes Blonde Hair Special?

It does not necessarily need to be confusing when it comes to choosing the appropriate hair color for blondes, given that there are many hair color shades that can be used in this case.

Blonde is a pale color of human hair that is defined by small portions of the dark hue eumelanin and a more significant percentage of pheomelanin, which provides it with yellow hues. It is naturally rare in nature, being present in less than 2 percent of the world population. It may be tender, light, icy, warm, creamy or bold and may cause one to look younger, look brighter or even make her look more confident.

It is an entire family of colors and no two blonde shades are ever the same. Some blondes are cool toned and others are warm toned. This is why two people can both be “blonde,” but their hair looks nothing alike. If you are thinking of going blonde, GK Hair Naturals Juvexin Cream Color in the blonde shade delivers vibrant blonde shades while helping keep hair healthy and strong.

Rich Dark Blonde Shade

This is another shade of blonde that is usually confused for another. Dark blonde hair color is believed to be similar to light brown but they are not identical. Dark blonde is a darker and richer shade of blonde compared to light brown and it appears soft. It is often preferred because:

  • It looks more natural than very bright blondes.
