Brunette. Halfsies. Blonde.

81 days.

11 weeks.

3 sessions.

Today marks 81 days until summer, which means you have 11 weeks to begin your transition to Blonde.

If you're going to do it...do it well. Do your research, start early and be patient.

We recommend expecting at least 3 sessions before your full blonde vision has been achieved.

Here are a few things you should know...

1. Fifty Shades of Blonde

Which shade of blonde best suits you?

Ash, Beige or Baby-Blonde

pale, pink skin tones suit cool, delicate blondes;

Butter, Golden, Caramel Tones

Darker or more yellow / golden-toned skins suit golden or honey hues;

Try these tests out-

"...get two sheets of paper or material with two different tones and put them next to your skin to judge which makes you look fresher, because too much of either can wash you out." -Heart.co.uk

"...look at the veins on your wrist; if they're mostly blue and purple you have a cool undertone, if they are mostly green you have a warm undertone and if they are a mix of both you have a neutral undertone" -Cosmopolitan
