While the age-old question “Do blondes really have more fun?” may never be answered, one thing’s for sure: There are more options for blonde hair colors than ever before.

Classic blonde shades such as platinum and honey have been joined by tons of trending shades like Playboy blonde and champagne blush, giving every skin tone and hair color an opportunity to lighten up.

Nectar Blonde

Nectar blonde is a dreamy, creamy shade that strikes the perfect balance between brightness and believability, which is why it's one of our favorite summer hair colors. It has all the boldness of platinum but is updated with softer, warmer tones, making it way easier to pull off—and maintain. “Nectar blonde looks luxurious, golden and warm,” says celebrity hair colorist Tom Smith. “The key here is to lighten the hair’s base color to a dark golden blonde, adding warm vanilla cream highlights through the layers and to the face frame area.”

Cool Blonde 

This icy shade is just about as close you can get to platinum without going all the way.  Lauren Grummel, a hairstylist in New York City, loves this color for rosier complexions, since the coolness will help balance out any redness. She notes this hue is a little harder to achieve for natural brunettes, since you’ll need to lighten your base before going in with cooler highlights—something to keep in mind.

Undone Blonde

Think of undone blonde as more a mindset than a specific shade. For you it may mean ditching platinum for a more natural honey blonde, trying subtle highlights instead of a full foil, or even going a slightly darker shade of blonde.

Playboy Blonde

“A nod to the ’90s, this bright blonde is achieved with lots of highlights and is left ‘untoned’ to give a slightly raw, bleached look,” says Smith. “Thanks to modern hair care, this color can be achieved while keeping the hair in tip-top condition, which is important to keep this looking like an intentional fashion choice.

Pearl Blonde

“I love this look because it gives a slight tonal shift and iridescence on the platinum-blonde trend,” says celebrity colorist Jeremy Tardo, who recommends this shade for anyone who’s getting bored with true platinum but still loves a superlight shade. Ask your stylist for an extra-light blonde with pale yellow undertones, and make sure to stress you don’t want anything too gray-toned.
