As seen on Instagram, dirty blonde hair becomes one of the hottest styles that girls ask colorists for this year. It’s versatile and looks good on pretty much anyone. Besides, if you’re a brunette on a color-changing journey, this shade is perfect to help you go lighter without causing any damage. In case you’re looking for new hair color ideas to maintain your gorgeous locks or search a quick makeover, we’ve got you covered too.

Start your transformation with one of the awesome ideas we put together in this crafty list of hairstyles!

1. Dishwater Shade. Enjoy the volume and depth without compromising the lightness of your locks, all thanks to the platinum highlights. Don’t forget to use a purple shampoo for your dyed hair to keep brass away!

2. Highlighted Brown. Fool everyone into believing you’ve spent all your summer glazing under the sun with this beach-worthy hairstyle. It’s pretty adjustable, as you decide for yourself how much of your hair you want to be highlighted.

3. High-Contrast Streaks. For a sophisticated long hairstyle, get a sun-kissed look that brings together a dark dishwater tone and lighter highlights.

4. Money Pieces. With just a touch of brightness around the face, this extremely delicate color scheme gradually replaces the medium brown base with cool yet not ashy light hues.

5. Face-Framing Highlights. If you are not much interested in mimicking natural blondes, you should get a good look at this brighter version of balayage which involves more beige hues and creates a higher contrast with splashes of white.

6. Streaks of Sandy Blonde. The darker blonde effect can be achieved not only with balayage free-hand painting but also with the old good foil technique. Ask your hair colorist what is more flattering for your type of hair and base hair color.

7. Highlights and Lowlights. Mixing warm and cool shades is a terrific idea that will make you love your reflection in the mirror even more. This combo creates a stunning caramel blend you won’t get bored with.

8. Lob with Hair Contouring. You can arrive at this trendy hair color in various ways and tailor the pattern to both your skin tone and hair texture, for example, by adding dimension and movement through hair contouring.

9. Walnut Shade. This version of dishwasher shade seamlessly blends teasy lights and lowlights to produce a dimensional not-dark-enough-to-be-brunette color full of earthy tones and strategically illuminated with some icy tone.

10. Frosted Hair. This well-blended combo of blonde and brown shifts the whole look to the lighter and cooler end of the spectrum, creating a stunning contrast for the medium skin tone to pop.

11. Beige Balayage. This balayage sticks to neutral bronde shades to complement the girl’s complexion but adds a bit of drama to the look through the darker and deeper root melt.

12. Balayaged Lob Bob. You don’t have to commit to one darker shade of blonde. The options are endless. Show off your long hair in platinum and leave just the roots darker. In a while you can also present a chop with lowlights. Get a warmer sandy color for a new season.

13. Shiny Balayage. Natural dark blonde hair is exceptionally beautiful, but why not amplify it? Add some platinum or champagne highlights, and don’t forget to use a toning shampoo to bring a cool gloss to your hair.

14. Dishwater Face Framing. While this dimensional mix of colors is anything but warm, some peachy tones incorporated into the face-framing layers make the style a perfect fit for the yellowish skin undertone.

15. Stripy Highlights. What a lovely contrast is created here by placing quite frequent ribbons of bright blonde against a fairly dark brown base!

16. Front Highlights. Apart from warming up the lob with some sunny hues, this color combination creates depth at the roots and highlights the face with a couple of light streaks.

17. Toned Down Balayage. That’s a nice example of a contrasting color scheme much softened and cooled down with the help of a gray-tinted glossing toner.

18. Bronde Dye Job. While nobody actually knows where the bronde ends and the dishwasher shade starts, this rich-in-contrast hairstyle set aglow with pale golden hues offers the best of two worlds.

19. Accented Dark Blonde. Here is a perfect in-between color that is neither too bright nor too dark, not to mention its neutral tone with no excess warmth and just a hint of platinum to add interest to the front.

20. Mid-Length Hairstyle. An amazing subtle yet eye-catching hairstyle for curly hair. Pushing your hair back and teasing the crown gives you a sleek, pronounced style. This fun and gorgeous hairdo is easy to maintain and style.

21. Vanilla Highlights. There’s no color that works better for creating a delicate hairdo than vanilla shade. If you are into experiments, try mixing warm and cool shades for a complex balayage coloring.

22. Rooty Bronzed Locks. This coloring couples the dark blonde with depth-boosting root shadowing, adds highlights intensified towards the ends, and polishes the look with an illuminating metallic shade.

23. Bronde with Highlights. As is expected from a good bronde, this style receives the best of both worlds to create a dramatic and dimensional look.

24. Bronzed Long Hair. That’s the color palette for girls with warmer skin undertones, as it has the right hues to avoid an ashy feel and keeps the brightness under control.

25. Dark Hair with Highlights. This hairstyle is a classic that seems to never go out of fashion. If your natural hair color is dark, you can still achieve a lighter look by generously adding beige highlights to it.

26. Midi Bronde Hair with Highlights. Have you ever had any doubt that masterfully placed highlights can make your locks shine? Here you are! This coloring is full of sheen.

27. Icy Coloring. Although such hairstyles often stick to soft color blends, nothing can prevent you from spicing up your hair with a few splashes of bright white.

28. Streaky Brown Bob. Whether you want to complement your cool complexion or tone down your yellow undertones for the skin to feel creamier, this cool-toned bob with tons of movement and dimension will do the job.

29. Mid-Back Locks. If you want to try a more natural, softer look, you can opt for this less pronounced shade. Get a smooth, elegant hair appeal with gentle curls that bring your hair ends together.

30. Strawberry Highlights. Gold and platinum are not the only shades you can incorporate into your darker locks, and this version comes with a blush worth stealing.

31. High-Contrast Front. This high-contrast style promises to grow out nicely since the highlights are pushed away from the roots, which makes them no less spectacular thanks to the super light shade.

32. Champagne and Vanilla Shades. Mixing several light shades creates impressive results. For example, champagne and vanilla work together perfectly, merging into a light dishwater hair color. Consider a layered haircut for additional texture and glow.

33. Pearly Money Pieces. Here is a great way to insert a trendy money piece into this color palette — it has a much softer feel due to a lighter base and more delicately colored highlights.

34. Creamy Dishwater Shade. This neutral brown base is slightly cooled down with a soft champagne shade to deliver a lived-in look and play well with the pink in the girl’s skin.

35. Wavy Bronde Locks. If you are rocking such a gorgeous hair color as this one, no wonder you would want to show it off in longer hairstyles. If you are lucky to have wavy locks, your hairdo is guaranteed to look textured and voluminous at all times!

36. Different-Sized Highlights. Isn’t it the yummy color of your morning latte? It mixes babylights throughout the style with wide ribbons of platinum near the face to happily avoid excessive ashiness.

37. Long Rooted Locks. If you need a change from warm hues, trying this creamy ash blend is an exciting experiment. Besides, shadow roots can prevent your worries about regular visits to a beauty salon.

38. Ribbon Highlights. Apart from the beach waves we totally adore, this style has those naturally sun-kissed streaks that can turn you into a Cali girl as one-two-three.

39. Dishwater Curls. An artistic blend of highlights interwoven with a brown and sandy base creates an alluring balayage hair. Revitalize your hair ends with a choppy finish. See how the hair flows freely and effortlessly.

40. Beige-Tinted Color. Verging on light brown at the roots, this hair seamlessly transitions to a radiant light shade around the face and towards the ends, beautifully emphasizing the layered waves.

Who would say that this hair shade isn’t flawless after seeing how absolutely customizable, chameleon-like it is! We love it for its universal nature and the way it suits just about any skin tone and hair texture. You can easily bring more dimension and depth to your hair with highlights and lowlights, or soften very dark hair with ashy light brown highlights. The point is, there’s so much room to experiment with this shade and no matter whether you’ve got long or short, curly or straight hair, there’s totally a style for you.
