#11: Cool Ash Blonde
Light balance of caramel and blonde shades creates a cool ash blonde with the technique of balayage. The lob is stunning and is able to keep a variety with blonde and brunette shades on the display.
#12: Black and Ash Blonde
For a stunning melted effect, blend black and blonde tones. Beach waves add volume and body, while a loose braid can enhance the look. Opt for natural blonde tones (not too ashy or warm) for a low-maintenance balayage. After balayage, use sulfate, paraben, and silicone-free shampoo to keep hair healthy and prevent dryness. Avoid bleaching very curly hair, as it can become extremely dry.
#13: Brown to Ash Blonde Ombre
This balayage-inspired brown-ash blonde ombre is perfect for your next salon visit. The smooth color melt looks great with delicate waves, and the mid-length cut keeps thick hair full while reducing weight. This ash-neutral color is low-maintenance, with a soft boundary as it grows out. Keep in mind, ash tones require more maintenance than neutral or warm colors. Use toning or color-depositing shampoo to prevent warmth between salon visits.
#14: Ash Blonde On Dark Brown Hair
What do you think of the look? This style is a lived-in beach blonde. I like how it looks with the blonde-ash balayage. It looks effortless and natural. Do you have any advice for anyone who is considering this color? This color is the perfect color that is low maintenance. A person who visits the salon a couple of times per year is an ideal candidate. This is also applicable to any hair type.
#15: Ash Blonde to Light Blonde
What do you think of this look? The balayage features a rich ash shade with warm and natural tones. My client wanted something less uniform and more natural than traditional foil highlights, so we opted for a live-in style—a long bob with loose beach waves. This cut is low-maintenance, as the shadow roots blend seamlessly with the hair as it grows out. For those considering this style, research your natural hair color and understand what to expect after the first appointment. Achieving this look may take time and the right at-home hair care products to maintain the color and keep your hair healthy.
#16: Ash Brown and Blonde
What do you think of this style? I used a teasy light technique with Redken colors: 3nb at the roots, 6na and 7v in the middle, and 9t/9v/9gi on the ends for a natural beige blonde. It’s a great blend that adds dimension without being overly gray. Layering was key for her thick hair to avoid a flat look, especially when tied up. Beige blonde suits both pale and dark skin tones and works well with any makeup style due to its subtle nature. Avoid excessive layering for curly or thin hair to maintain volume.
#17: Smokey Silver Ash Blonde Ice
What do you think of this style? I love the contrast in this ash blonde balayage, with darker roots and lighter ends enhancing texture and depth. Styling with loose curls highlights its sharp cut. Maintaining this smokey ice hue requires regular toning and using blue cool tone products. For those considering it, be prepared for its semi-permanent nature and regular toning upkeep every 3-4 weeks. Protect against heat damage and ensure hair stays moisturized, especially as lighter shades can dry out more easily.
#18: Chic Ash Blonde Balayage
Chic ash blonde balayage is a sophisticated hair color choice that blends seamlessly from darker roots to lighter, cooler tones towards the ends. This technique creates a natural, sun-kissed effect with its hand-painted highlights, adding depth and dimension to your hair. Ideal for various skin tones, ash blonde balayage offers versatility and a contemporary edge, making it a popular choice for those looking to enhance their hairstyle with a touch of elegance and style.
