Strawberry blonde hair is created by a combination of golden blonde and light red hues, such as copper or auburn.
In essence, strawberry blonde isn't just one specific color, but a blend. The golden blonde provides the overall lightness and warmth, while the red tones introduce a subtle reddish or copper cast. The interplay between these shades determines the specific strawberry blonde variation. Individuals with natural strawberry blonde hair have a specific genetic makeup that results in this unique color.
Here's a breakdown:
- Golden Blonde: Contributes the base blonde color.
- Light Red (Copper/Auburn): Adds the reddish tint, making it "strawberry."
The intensity of each color varies, resulting in different shades of strawberry blonde, from a more golden tone with slight red highlights to a more vibrant reddish-blonde.
