Blonde Hair Try On
Upload a selfie and see yourself as a dark blonde, golden blonde, platinum or strawberry blonde before you commit to bleach. Going blonde is a big change and hard to undo, so it is worth seeing first.
Try Blonde Hair on Your PhotoWhat Makes Hair Blonde?
Blonde hair has less of the dark pigment eumelanin, which gives it a light, bright look that ranges from deep honey to near-white platinum. Unless you are naturally blonde, getting there usually means lightening your hair first, and the darker your starting point, the more lightening it takes.
That is why choosing the shade matters: a golden blonde and an icy platinum need different amounts of lightening and different upkeep, and they suit different skin tones. A preview on your own photo lets you compare them side by side before you book.
The 4 Blonde Shades You Can Try
Dark Blonde
A deep honey blonde with golden tones. The smallest step up from light brown.

Try PlatinumStrawberry Blonde
A warm rose-gold blonde with soft red tones, between blonde and copper.
Try Strawberry BlondeWant ash, champagne or another blonde? Those are not presets. You can try the custom color picker, but see the FAQ below for why subtle shades may not come out exactly.
Choosing a Blonde for Your Skin Tone
Warm skin tones
Yellow, golden or peachy undertones; you tan easily.
- Golden Blonde: echoes the warmth in your skin
- Dark Blonde: a softer honey version if you want to stay closer to your natural shade
- Strawberry Blonde: adds a rosy warmth
Cool skin tones
Pink, red or bluish undertones; you burn easily.
- Platinum: its cool, icy tone sits well against pink undertones
Neutral skin tones
A mix of warm and cool undertones.
- Golden Blonde: usually a safe first try
- Platinum: if you want a bolder, cooler look
These are general guidelines, not rules. The point of a preview is to check how a shade looks on you rather than relying on a chart.
What Going Blonde Involves
Unless your hair is already light, going blonde is usually done in two parts: a lightener (bleach) removes some of the natural pigment, and a toner then sets the final shade.
- Consultation: a colorist will usually ask about your hair's history and check its condition first, and many salons do a strand test or a skin test before using some products.
- Your starting point: dark or previously dyed hair often needs more than one lightening session, spaced apart, to reach a pale shade such as platinum.
- Condition: lightening weakens hair, so if yours is already dry or damaged, your colorist may suggest stopping at a deeper blonde first.
- Toner: part of the shade you leave the salon with comes from toner, which fades with washing and is usually refreshed at later appointments.
This is general information, not a substitute for a colorist looking at your hair.
Living With Blonde Hair
- Roots: regrowth shows quickly against blonde, so plan for regular root touch-ups.
- Fading: lighter shades and toner fade with washing; a gentle, color-safe shampoo and cooler water can help the tone last longer.
- Brassiness: cooler blondes such as platinum can turn yellow over time; a purple shampoo helps counter it.
- Condition: lightening dries hair out, so conditioning treatments become part of the routine.
- Heat and sun: heat protectant and some UV protection help the color last.
Ask your colorist how often your shade will need maintenance. It depends on how fast your hair grows and how far the shade is from your natural color.
Blonde Hair Try On FAQs
Which blonde shades can I preview?
There are 4 blonde presets: Dark Blonde, Golden Blonde, Platinum, Strawberry Blonde. Each generation pairs the shade with a hairstyle and gives you 2 variations to compare.
Can I try ash, honey or champagne blonde?
The Dark Blonde preset is a deep honey blonde, so it is the closest to honey. Ash and champagne blonde are not presets. The custom color picker gives the AI the nearest of about ten color names, so pale beige and ash shades usually come out as golden blonde or platinum rather than a true ash.
Will the preview show how my hair looks after bleaching?
Only roughly. The real result depends on how dark your hair is now, any color already in it and how many lightening sessions it needs. Use the preview to pick a shade, then ask a colorist what it will take to get there.
