Light ash blonde hair is a brighter shade of blonde locks with cool, grey-ish undertones. An ashy blonde hue is trendy, customizable, and gorgeous in almost all natural shades!

Going from dark ash blonde to this brighter, cooler hue is an investment. Canada-based hairstylist Pamela Adam’s ultimate tip is to “enjoy the journey.” Everyone has an underlying warm pigment, and it takes a few sessions to achieve how light you want it to be.

Proper upkeep is also essential, says Adam. Adam advises going through a toning session every 3-4 weeks. This must keep your hair’s integrity to prevent the blonde color from being brassy.

Purple shampoo is best for color-treated tresses, and it’s best to use once a week. Adam warns about a few ladies who are overdoing it. When this happens, it’s more difficult for the stylist to lift or lighten the strands.

I’ve got you covered, from the neat platinum colors to the dirty light ones. Choose a more radiant look, and dye your locks now! One of these images of the most popular light ash blonde hair shades will suit you best.
