How to try the look:
If these stylish celebs have you running for the bleach, follow these tips from celebrity colorist Ryan Pearl of Cutler Soho in New York City first:
- "Help yourself out by adding a root shadow," Pearl said. Keeping even a few centimeters of your natural color at the root can seriously help extend the life of your new look and keep you from running into the salon every few weeks for a touch-up.
- "When using blow dryers and hot tools, use a lower heat setting," he added. This will prevent your hair from getting fried. And make sure to use heat-styling products for extra protection.
- Consult your colorist. Going bleach blond is a big commitment that might take more upkeep and maintenance than you're used to, so make sure it's a good fit with your lifestyle, Pearl suggested.
