Colouring by Numbers for the UK's Blonde Bombshells

Garnier have scoured the UK for the perfect shade of blonde, and have discovered three main tones!

Blonde sales are up by 16% and 5.3 million women now colour their hair blonde. It’s not surprising. Studies have shown you are more likely to feel younger, more positive and carefree with a golden mane. But with many women finding it impossible to find their perfect shade, Garnier’s team of experts raided the UK to discover the most desirable tones. The problem was simple. UK women crave luxurious, luminous shades that also suit their completions. It’s no lie that blonde hair warms up fair skin tones and is excellent for covering up those greys, but British blondes wish for a fabulous three-dimensional colour.

The result, Garnier has introduced a colourant numbering system. It works by having one number to represent the depth or darkness of the colour and a secondary number to represent the ‘reflects’ of the shade, making your shade more than just a flat colour. The depth of the colour ranges from 1-10 (black to blonde) with the reflect range of 1-6 starting at ash/cool blondes to glowing, warm shades.
