Thinking about taking the leap into icy blonde strands for the winter? Keep reading to get inspired by 10 ways to style your fresh steel blonde hair color.
1. Blown-Out
Nothing showcases fresh color quite like an expert blowout. Thanks to being stuck at home for most of 2020 and beyond, most of us have mastered the DIY blowout once and for all. Follow our DIY blowout tutorial if you’re still hoping to hack it!
2. Air-Dried
When your hair color is making this big of a statement, the styling almost takes a backseat. Ask your stylist to incorporate these choppy bangs into your fresh cut so you can get by letting your hair air dry while the bangs and color make the statement.
3. Half-Up
This classic style is a favorite for a reason. It’s easy to create, looks polished, and keeps your hair out of your face without forcing you to wear it all up.
4. Low Bun
It doesn’t get any sleeker than a low bun like this one. Part your hair down the middle and gather your hair back into a low bun. Secure the look with a hair tie and pull a few strands out around your face. Your fresh hair color will ensure that this look pops no matter what.

5. Beach Waves
Pair your new steel blond strands with a choppy lob haircut and use a curling iron to create these easy beach waves. Shorter strands are a breeze to style! Use a 1 1/2 inch curling to create loose curls. Make sure to hold the barrel vertically to ensure a beach-like finish.
6. Natural
Wear your natural curls and really highlight your unique curl pattern with this icy blonde shade. We love the way these curls pop!
7. Messy
This messy look is as edgy as they come, especially when paired with this steel blonde hue. Leave the styling to the pros and wear this look messy and easy!
8. The Shag
Run a straightener through your layers to achieve this more polished shag style. These choppy layers are a great nod to the 70s and this particular shade of icy blonde hair keeps the style modern.
9. Voluminous Waves
Add some instant volume to your strands by washing and conditioning your hair with Suave Up The Volume Shampoo and Conditioner. This duo will infuse your strands with loads of volume and help you show off your style.
