Blonde hair shades: honey, ash and platinum, tried on your photo
Blonde covers a wide range, from deep golden to nearly white. Colourists often group shades by warmth: warm or golden blondes, cooler ash blondes, and very pale platinum. Names vary from salon to salon, so the same word can mean slightly different colours.
FitMyFace is not a shade chart. Its colour picker has three blondes, and it shows them on your photo so you can see how pale or warm a direction looks with your own face, before you spend time and money on a salon visit.

The blondes in the picker
- Honey: a warm golden blonde. It is one of the six everyday colours shown first.
- Ash blonde: a cooler, greyer blonde. It is behind the "More" button.
- Platinum: a very pale blonde. It is behind the "More" button.
Caramel, a light golden brown, sits just below honey if you want something between brown and blonde, and Silver is a grey rather than a blonde.
What the preview does and does not show
- It recolours the hair in the picture. Your face is left as it is; the app does not measure your skin tone or tell you which shade is right for you.
- Stylists often consider skin undertone and eye colour when choosing a blonde, and warm or cool is a convention, not a rule. Try more than one on your photo and decide for yourself.
- Going from dark hair to a pale blonde commonly takes lightener and sometimes more than one visit. Ask a colourist what your hair would need; the picture cannot tell.
- Colour techniques such as highlights or balayage are not drawn on hair that is already very light, because a lighter shade would barely show.
What to ask a colourist
- Name the shade and warmth: bring the app picture and a photo of the colour on real hair, since names differ between salons.
- Ask how many visits: and how much it costs, if that matters to you.
- Ask about toning and upkeep: pale shades often need regular toning, and your colourist can say how often.
How to try them
Open the hair tool, pick a cut, then open "Customize: color, technique, size". Colours are in the colour row ("More" shows the full set); colour techniques are the row below it. Tap Honey, then More for Ash blonde and Platinum, and flip between them on the same photo. Use a clear front-facing photo in even light, with your hair visible. If you want to see it with a lighter streak instead, see brown hair with highlights.
FitMyFace hair previews are approximations, not predictions of how your hair will fall, curl or grow. Ordinary hairstyle try-ons perform face analysis on-device. The optional AI previews (hair and glasses) send a photo to Cloudflare; your consent is the one "I agree" on the scan screen, and a switch on the results turns them off. FitMyFace is for adults 18 and over and is not available in Illinois.
Questions
Which blonde is best for me?
The app does not choose for you. Try the three on your photo and ask a colourist, who can see your hair and skin in person.
Can I preview blonde on a haircut?
Yes. The colour applies to whichever cut is on screen, so you can compare a blonde bob and a blonde pixie on the same photo.
Does it work for men?
Yes. The colours and techniques are the same for men's and women's cuts.
