Embrace Summery Strands With These 12 Strawberry Blonde Hair Ideas

The beauty of strawberry blonde hair is its versatility. Depending on what you prefer, it can lean a bit more copper, a bit more blonde, or be a perfect mix of the two. But how do you decide which shade of strawberry blonde is the right match for your skin tone and style? To help answer that question, we’ve compiled a list of 12 different shades of strawberry blonde hair that range from subtle to bold. Below, find all the inspiration you need for your next mane transformation.

1. Classic Strawberry Blonde

If a timeless color is what you’re looking for, you can’t go wrong with classic strawberry blonde hair. It provides the perfect harmony of warm blonde and red with hints of rose. Get the look at home with the L’Oréal Paris Feria Multi-Faceted Shimmering Permanent Hair Color in Strawberry Blonde.

2. Light Strawberry Blonde

This lighter take on strawberry blonde hair can be a gorgeous option for those who prefer a soft, subtle hair color. It’s bright and fun without being overpowering—and you can easily DIY the look with a boxed dye like L’Oréal Paris Superior Preference Fade-Defying Shine Permanent Hair Color in Light Reddish Blonde.

3. Dark Strawberry Blonde

For a hue with lots of warmth and depth, we love dark strawberry blonde hair. Not only does it look gorgeous, but if you have a darker base color, it’s also easier to achieve than a lot of other strawberry shades. You can get away with lightening less of your hair, which is always preferable in order to minimize bleach damage.

4. Golden Strawberry Blonde

While strawberry blonde is pretty much always warm in tone, you can kick the warmth up even further, if you like. This take on the classic color leans more golden and copper in tone, which makes it look ultra luxurious. Because of the golden hue, this strawberry blonde shade looks particularly amazing on those with light and medium warm-toned skin. To try it for yourself, use the L’Oréal Paris Superior Preference Fade-Defying Shine Permanent Hair Color in Light Reddish Blonde.

5. Pastel Strawberry Blonde

Pastel hair is having a moment. If you want to get in on the trend, a pastel strawberry blonde color is a fun way to give it a try. The end result is beautiful and slightly edgy but not too daring. It’s basically a perfect balance! This color also works to instantly brighten up any complexion, thanks to hints of pink and gold throughout.

6. Strawberry Blonde Ombré

If you want your hair to make a statement, try strawberry blonde ombré. Ask your colorist to give you a rich strawberry color at the roots that fades into a golden blonde at the tips to add some sun-kissed radiance to your locks.

7. Rich Strawberry Blonde

A rich strawberry blonde color is perfect for calling attention to your strands. This mixture of blonde, red, and pink hues makes for an intense shade that really pops against any skin tone. See for yourself with the L’Oréal Paris Excellence Créme Permanent Triple Protection Hair Color in Medium Reddish Blonde.

8. Strawberry Blonde With A Platinum Money Piece

Adding a platinum money piece to just about any hair color is a great way to add interest to your look—and strawberry blonde hair is no exception. The bright, icy ribbons will elegantly frame your face and perfectly contrast your base color.

9. Strawberry Blonde Rosé

One of the most beautiful aspects of strawberry blonde hair is the bit of pink that peeks through. You can take this detail to the next level by incorporating metallic rose gold tones instead of plain old pink. If you aren’t totally sold, test drive the look with the L’Oréal Paris Colorista Hair Makeup Temporary 1-Day Hair Color Spray in Rose Gold—it’ll wash right out with your next shampoo.

10. Bronde With Strawberry Highlights

For a hair color with tons of dimension, opt for a bronde base—otherwise known as mixture of blonde and brown shades—and some strawberry blonde highlights. The two colors vary slightly in depth and tone, but they complement each other beautifully when paired together.

11. Strawberry Blonde With Honey Balayage

Effortlessly enhance strawberry blonde hair with honey-colored balayage. The honey hue will complement the reddish tones in your base color, and the balayage technique will ensure the highlights look natural. If you want to do your own balayage, pick up an at-home kit, like the L’Oréal Paris Superior Preference Balayage At-Home Lightening Kit

12. Strawberry Blonde Sombré

Strawberry blonde sombré is our pick if you’re seeking a more muted hair color. It’s a fresh take on the ombré idea we shared earlier, where your root color very subtly blends into a soft strawberry blonde shade. So pretty!
