Dirty blonde hair is just one hue among the extraordinary wealth of blonde hair colors – but one of its most famous and frequent variants. From its lighter sub-shades to the darker ones, there is one special trait that really makes this color uniquely attractive: its wheat tones.

Not convinced yet to become a dirty blonde? Then check out these inspiring dirty blonde looks to brighten your day!

To achieve this coveted women hairstyle look, just ask your hairstylist for dark blonde lowlights and platinum blonde highlights. This skillful blend of dark and light colors will be perfectly enhanced by a perfect balayage.

3. Dark Dirty Blonde

When we say dark, we mean a delicious golden honey shade that keeps and accentuates the dirty blonde wheat undertones. A few highlights here and there will draw more attention to the deep blonde tones of the base.

4. Dirty Blonde Hair Colors – Jennifer Aniston Signature Look

Is there a better way of showcasing the alluring overtones of blonde hair – be it dirty or even icy or bright blonde – than by braiding it? The example above is particularly useful as it shows both a fishtail-style braid and crown-like one.

Because we like this hairstyle so much, here is another lovely instance of braided blonde hair. This time around, it is a lighter dirty blonde shade with rich ash brown undertones. Also, the crown hair braid is completed by a flower crown.

This is a particularly troubling shade as far as hair color categories are concerned. Yet we’re not here to debate the intricacies of labeling a hair color but to admire the richness of these shades of blonde.

8. Dirty Blonde Hair with Highlights

If you don’t have naturally dirty blonde hair, then the easiest way to get it is by adding highlights. The key to getting a natural look is to use shades that are two to three tones lighter than your natural hair color.

The shimmering lights of this look are captivating to look at – especially thanks to the waviness of the hair. The balayage technique is the best way to achieve this look or personalize one in your colors of choice.
