Rockin’ Summer Look: Bleach Blonde Hair

There is something about summer that brings out the bleach blonde beach goddess in a woman. We want to bleach hair blonde and show it off with the latest, hot hairstyles. There are plenty of over-the-counter blonde hair dyes to help us achieve this vivacious summer look.

Bleach Blonde Hair Tips: The Color
There are numerous products on the market to help bleach hair blonde, without paying high salon prices. One gel blonde hair dye that provides amazing results is L’Oreal Feria Extra Bleach Blonde 205 ($9.99, www.drugstore.com). Feria Extra Bleach Blonde is best for all skin tones and hair types. You will get the desired bleach blonde hair if your natural hair color is blonde to medium brown. I find gel blonde hair dye is a little less messy and easier to wash out.

If you prefer a creme blonde hair dye, L’Oreal Super Blonde Creme Lightening Kit, in Super Bleach Blonde 205 ($9.99, www.drugstore.com), is my top pick. This blonde hair dye gives beautiful, even bleach blonde results on light to light brown hair. I really like the conditioner in this blonde hair dye. It leaves your new bleach blonde hair soft and shiny, instead of over-processed looking. Another creme blonde hair dye, that will have you beach-ready, is Herbal Essences’ Blonded By The Light Creme Lightening Kit, in Bleach Blonde (www.clairol.com).

Manic Panic Flash Lightening bleach kit (www.folica.com), is another easy product to use to achieve rockin” bleach blonde hair. It is not really a a blonde hair dye, but a hair pre-lightener. If you have long hair or dark hair, buy two kits for all over coverage. Another good bleach lightening kit to use, is Beyond the Zone On/Off Scalp Radical Bleach Kit ($8.99, www.sallybeauty.com). This kit will bleach hair blonde in any effect that you could want, from entire hair to bleach blonde highlights.

You can always try the old-fashioned at home ways to bleach hair blonde, such as peroxide and box bleach, at your own risk. However, with so many inexpensive and effective blonde hair dyes on the market, I don’t think it’s worth the chance of damaging your hair. Remember to follow all blonde hair dye box directions and you may want to get advice from a professional colorist. Brittle, over-processed, blonde hair is not hot.

Bleach Blonde Hair Tips: Short Hair
Bold, fashion-forward bleach blondes with short hair will be sporting the pixie crop, this summer. The pixie crop is all about the styling. Spike bleach blonde hair with gel for a young and funky look or slick it back for a hot, modern-sophisticate look. Whatever you do with this daring hair cut, do something. Left unstyled, the pixie crop can throw a fresh young hipster’s look right into middle-aged boring.

Bleach Blonde Hair Tips: Medium Hair
Straight and sleek is still an on-going trend for medium length, bleach blonde hair. Keep the style current by keeping a little movement in your locks and staying away from the stick-straight look. If you want a more stylized look, try mermaid waves, with a side part. As with the other styles, keep hair slightly tousled and less “done”, to achieve a hot, modern look.

Bleach Blonde Hair Tips: Long Hair
This summer’s hair styles are full of sexy looks for bleach blonde hair vixen. For the easiest hot bleach blonde hair, just leave hair long and loose, and add some heavy volume. Think manicured-tousled, not 80’s super pouf. A great way for long-haired bleach blondes to pull their hair back, is milkmaid braids. To get this look, braid a section of hair from the base of your neck. Loop the braid over the top of your head and fasten. It should look like a braided headband. Milkmaid braids can be worn casually, with soft bangs and a low ponytail. For a more formal version, pull remaining hair up in a loose bun.

If you are looking to release your inner beach beauty queen, this summer, bleach hair blonde. There are plenty of inexpensive, quality blonde hair dyes on the market to help you achieve this bombshell look. No matter what the length of your fabulous bleach blonde hair, this summer has a style to help you rock it to it’s full potential.
