HAIR CARE Dirty Blonde Hair Color: An Ultimate Guide

< All Posts

When it comes to blonde hair color, shades of platinum and ash frequently top the list. While both are excellent options and Better Natured® celebrates all hues, don’t overlook the equally flattering hair color in the same family, known as dirty blonde. Not only does it need fewer touch-ups or toning treatments to counteract brassiness (though there’s nothing wrong with maintenance), but it’s also the ideal balance between light and dark while being one of the easiest shades to maintain. Intrigued? Of course, you are! Let’s get to it.

What Is Dirty Blonde Hair Color? 

Dirty blonde is a multidimensional color, falling somewhere between medium and dark blonde. It’s coupled with favorable wheaty, brown undertones contributing to its “dirty” appearance. It’s an attractive, low-maintenance hue that typically flatters those with a warm complexion. 

How to Achieve Dirty Blonde Hair Color

While some people are naturally blessed with dirty blonde hair, it’s also one of the most highly requested dark blonde shades — but you don’t need to head to the salon to get it! Whether you want to enrich your existing dirty blonde tresses or take your current hair color up or down one shade, Better Natured®’s at home hair color in 7N Medium Natural Blonde is the ideal shade to help you add vibrant dimension while concealing grays and roots. Our all-in-one hair color kit provides everything you need for salon-quality, professional-level hair color at home, minus the price tag.

Correct Any Unwanted Tones 

For the most part, dirty blonde doesn’t run the same risk of becoming brassy like platinum or ash shades. However, if your color-treated blonde hair is skewing a little too warm, our Purple Color Correcting Cream neutralizes brassy tones and delivers cooler results in just one to three minutes.
