12 Pretty Strawberry Blonde Hair Looks
1. Strawberry Blonde Ombre
Blonde hues from pale to ash to dirty blonde can get a boost of color with understated strawberry blonde ombre. Since ombre normally starts mid-shaft, the result looks natural.
2. Strawberry Blonde Highlights
Strawberry blonde highlights applied via foil shows that brunettes can easily go blonde(ish). You might find that when you color or highlight your hair, it becomes drier. Go for a shampoo and conditioner that moisturizes hair while keeping color vibrant, like Love Beauty and Planet Blooming Color Murumuru Butter & Rose Shampoo and Conditioner. Made with Amazonian Murumuru butter and Bulgarian rose petals, these hair care products smell amaze and leave your color glossy and shiny.

4. Coppery Strawberry Blonde
Pale strawberry blonde gets a dose of bright copper in this loud and proud dyed afro. Since curly hair can get extra knotty when wet, a leave-in post-shower is always a good idea.

5. Strawberry Blonde Balayage
A steady hand paints strawberry blond streaks on your hair. The color looks amaze on a wavy lob. Use our flat iron tutorial so you can learn how to curl your hair when you have zero time.
5. Apricot Strawberry Blonde Bob
A below-the-chin bob gets the movie star treatment when it’s slicked back. Going for that style? TRESemmé TRES Two Extra Firm Control Gel ensures that every strand stays in place until you tired of the look.
6. Warm Strawberry Blonde Mini Bun
Whether you’ve got a bob, lob, shag or long hair, you can wear it in a ballerina bun. If you have a lob or bob, you’ll end up with a stylish mini bun. If your hair is longer, your bun will be stylish too! Finish off the look with a spray (or three) of TRESemmé TRES Two Ultra Fine Mist Hairspray. Hair won’t feel sticky or stiff, and hair will stay in place for hours.
7. Strawberry and Dark Blonde Halo Braid
Cool color combo and cool hairstyle too! Lowlights are added to strawberry blonde hair so that the dirty blonde tresses add depth of color. Halo braids are perfect way to play with long hair. We’ve got a tutorial for every type of braider—from beginner to expert.
8. Deep Strawberry Blonde Curly Bob
When curls are cut shorter, then tend to be bouncier and yes, curlier. A curly bob is a perfect way to show those curls. If your hair is straight, you can style your hair into a curly bob. Follow our tutorial on how to use pin curls to add wave, volume and yup, pretty ringlets in your hair. The trick is that the tinier you make the pin curl, the curlier your hair will be. Before styling, work some Suave Professionals Natural Volume Mousse through your tresses—from roots to tips. Made with olive oil, this lightweight mousse imparts volume, making hair shinier and fuller in appearance.
9. Strawberry Blonde Shag
The layered shag can be adapted to any hair type: straight, curly, and wavy. To make the ends flippy, use a flat iron. Before you do, spray on Dove Style+Care Smooth and Shine Heat Protection Spray on hair and let dry. This styling mist adds shine as it conditions hair. It also acts as a shield against damage from styling tools.
10. Strawberry Blonde Fishtail
Wear a side fishtail braid to show off (a) mad braiding skills and (b) glorious hair color. When creating braids, a cool trick to prevent “hair slippage” is to remove any excess oils with dry shampoo. Love Beauty and Planet Coconut Water & Mimosa Flower Dry Shampoo has an invigorating scent, and helps makes hair look lush and rejuvenated.
