A black and blonde hair color is a combination of both black and blonde hues, usually as highlights on a black base. One word – contrast! A striking contrast is what you’ll own with the clashing brightness of these opposite colors.
If you’re looking to lighten your naturally dark to jet black strands, proper consultation and research are necessary because this can damage your hair. But, it is absolutely possible as long as you take care of those locks rightly!
Upkeep depends on how you want these colors to play. Highlights and ombres promise less maintenance compared to going full-on black and blonde.
Remarkably, this match can easily complement all complexions because you can choose which shade of blonde to pair with your black strands – ash, platinum, golden, honey, and a lot more! Just look at how marvelous supermodels Olivia Munn, Joan Smalls, and Ruby Rose did it!
Get the best of both worlds with this edgy trend! Below are the most popular looks on black and blonde hair!
Half Black, Half Blonde
Q&A with style creator, Jess Louty

How would you describe this look?
Having creative freedom is a must when it comes to achieving a look like this. I love when my clients sit down and say “do something fun”. This Cruella de Vil look is something I’ve been wanting to do for a while now. My favorite thing about this is the versatility it allows you to have. Just styling alone can give you majority blonde or black hair, depending on how you wear it. Not to mention how simple it would be to throw a vivid color over the blonde for a completely different look. Blue, pink, green, you name it.
Any advice for someone considering it?
Consider maintenance. Vivid and fun colors come with upkeep. If you’re someone who only likes to be in the salon every 6 months maybe look at a few different options. A color-safe shampoo and conditioner are key. Pair that with a UV and heat protectant leave-in conditioner and you’re good to go. My personal favorite is is Joico Luster Lock Spray.
Black and Platinum Blonde
Q&A with style creator, Sai Phetkhosa
Master Colorist / Pro Balayage Artist @ Hair by Sai Phetkhosa in Oak Creek, WI
How would you describe this look?
A lot of my clients have dark hair. The problem with traditional balayage technique is you always end up with a brassy transition shade. We achieve this look by utilizing a foilayage technique which create a high contrast dark to light finish with no brassy transition shade. I used GuyTang Mydentity color to schedule the result.
This color reminds me of Storm from X-men, almost like the night storm and lighting. For her cut, she has long layers to create slight movement not taking away from the color, finishing off with loose beach wave for the perfect effortless style.
Any advice for someone considering it?
This look is ideal for pretty much anyone age. My client loves this look because they only have to save me twice a year. Although I recommend that the client come in every 6 weeks to get a toner or gloss to keep their hair color vibrant. This color is ideal for medium to thick hair. A client with thin hair is able to achieve to similar look, but maybe less of contrast.
Thin hair tends to be fragile taking it this light. I always recommend my client using a professional product. I always send my client home with Guy Tang Mydentity Myconfidant securing shampoo and conditioner. For styling, I send them home with Mydentity Myhairlube hair serum to keep their hair lubricated before brushing out or styling, and to finish their styling and hold I recommend Mydentity Mycontrol hairspray.

Short Black and Blonde Hair
Q&A with style creator, Casey Mims
Hair Specialist @ Just B Hair Salon in Duluth, GA
How would you describe this look?
This look is a modern twist to a pixie cut. Keeping more length to the front of the face. Because this cut is undercut to her recession point, we left her natural color exposed. Throughout the top and crown, we chose to go with a heavy foiling pattern to give her maximum blonde, which works great with her skin tone and eye color.
The greatest thing about this cut is its versatility to be able to style in different ways. Anyone who wears short hair can sometimes get bored, whereas this gives you options of either side parting, pompadour type, and even braiding back or to the side.
Any advice for someone considering it?
There are so many options to this cut/color. The greatest thing about this is that it can work with most face shapes and most hair types, including curly (with a few tweaks). It lives in the fun, flirty, but can also work for a conservative look as well. Super easy when it comes to styling, as your blow dry time is maybe 10 minutes with two of my all-time favorite products from Redken, Guts and Rough Paste.
Hot tip – buy a silk pillowcase and you could an extra day wear out of this style as well which is tough for us short hair girls.
