Dollhead – 5/5 stars - Golden Blonde - Beautiful colour and conditioning
“I have just used the golden blonde henna and it is a lovely colour, has left my hair softer and has covered the grey hair. My hair was a strawberry blonde colour until a few years ago when it started to turn grey. The henna has given my hair a slightly lighter version of that. Very pleased. It is important to follow the instructions and mix it thoroughly with the correct amount of water. I left it on for 1 hour and that was fine.”
To round the list off, we have the Reflex Henna Cream from Naturtint in Hazelnut Blonde. Offering the same ashy dark blonde tones as the first dye in our list, but in a semi-permanent format. Ideal if you’d rather trial the hair colour first before committing to it long term.

jo mower – 5/5 stars – Looks natural
“I have only used this colour once and I am very impressed. I am going to continue using it. My hair feels so soft. I have washed my hair 3 times since puting the colour on my hair and now my grey hairs look like I have blonde highlights. It is a lovely natural colour.”
Gallia – 5/5 stars – Very natural
“Covered grey much better than I expected and looked completely natural. Continues to look natural as the colour washes out, very pleased.”
Dyeing your hair is only the first step, so if you want to keep your blonde hair looking its best, you’ll have to use extra products like silver shampoo. This one by Naturtint offers a natural alternative to toning shampoos, banishing brassiness and nourishing your locks.

Voiceofacustomer – 5/5 stars – Naturtint silver shampoo
“I have developed an allergy to purple hair products for blonde and grey hair. So I braved it with this shampoo. I can confirm that I’ve had no allergic reaction to it. It definitely does the job. It removed brassiness from my highlighted hair and added shine. Using gloves is a bit of a fuff but I can deal with that. I will repurchase.”
As we mentioned earlier, keeping your hair hydrated is a must if you have dyed blonde hair. One of the best conditioners you can use is the Moroccan Argan Oil Restorative Conditioner from Dr Organic. Rich in vitamin E and essential fatty acids, this product helps to keep frizz at bay and strengthen your hair.

Dee44 – 5/5 stars – Soft & silky hair
“My hair is highlighted and this helps to keep my prone-to-dry ends soft and silky, using once a fortnight (I use other conditioner in between)I'd say it was suitable for coloured and dry hair, so much better than most of the pots of hair masks out there. The only downside is the tube size as could do with a bigger tube. Also smells divine.”
Julia23 – 5/5 stars – Smells amazing
“Smells very nice, and makes my hair incredibly soft. Very good hair mask.”
There’s a reason blonde hair is so popular, who doesn’t love luscious golden locks? That being said, a lot of work needs to be put in to keep it looking its best.
