Style High Club

I’m a natural blonde although I fully admit I’ve been dying my rather mousey natural tone in a variety of blonde shades over the years. To decide which shade to go for  – at the moment a darker blonde – I usually take inspiration from my favourite blondes.

There really have mainly been three women whose blonde tresses have been a continuous inspiration for me. The first one – muse behind my current, fairly dark honey blonde shade – is Sixties model Pattie Boyd (pictured above). We have similar colouring and her honey tones suite me, plus the darker, less brassy shade goes perfectly with my Sixties-inspired style.

Moving on to number two – Brigitte Bardot. I know, a total blonde hair cliché but when it comes to a lighter, sun-kissed colour, no one did it better than her! I used to dye my hair her colour and am still thinking about going back, it looks great when wearing black, which I do a lot.

My last favourite and the inspiration behind going redish-blonde last year is natural ginger blonde Jane Asher. Although I don’t think I’ll ever go proper red again (too much upkeep) I would love to add some reddish tones to my current shade.
