How to Pick the Right Blonde Color

• 1). Determine your natural hair color. Your natural hair color serves as a starting place for deciding on the color of your new blonde locks. If your hair is dyed, let the roots grow out so you can see the natural color. If it is still difficult to ascertain, ask your hair stylist to tell you the exact shade.
  
  
• 2). Stay within your natural range. Choose a color within three to four shades of your natural hair shade range, The Hair Styler suggests. If light brown is your natural color, steer clear of platinum. A dark to medium blonde would look better.
  
  
• 3). Determine your skin tone. One of the best ways to ascertain skin tone is to pinch the skin under your forearm, according to iVillage. If the skin appears yellow or golden, you should stick with warm tones like honey, caramel or copper. For pink or rose-colored skin, cool tones such as platinum, sandy or ash-blond are a better match.
