Looking for a new shade for your blonde hair this year? Try Blorange! Sounds cool, no? The fashion industry is always brimming with new ideas. Hailing back to 2017, this pretty color quickly became a trend and it has stuck around for the long-haul.
Rainbow hair has made way for blorange which many are saying is the new black! While it’s not quite so new anymore, a lot of us are still wondering how best to style it. Well, no worries, this is exactly what this article is about. Here you’ll be introduced to all you need to know about this not-so-new hue.
How to Style Blorange Hair Color
Before you get your hair colored blorange, note down these really important points:
- Before coloring your hair, ask your hair colorist their thoughts on the blorange color for you and your complexion. While this is a very versatile shade, there are some exceptions and it might be one of those colors that washes you out. A good hair colorist will be able to gauge that for you.
- Bring in a picture to your hair stylist so he/she can see the exact shade of blorange you want. Sometimes blorange can mean peachy highlights over gold or blonde hair… other times it means a blend of various hues of orange, red, peach, rose, and yellow over your natural brown hair. Make sure you communicate exactly what you want so you get the right color!
- To make your hair color last a good while, wash your hair with only cold water. Warm water isn’t good for hair, especially dyed hair.
- Invest in hair care products for dyed hair.
- Results vary depending on how much color you apply. Apply the amount that you need to reach the tone that would suit you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are a few frequently asked questions about blorange hair, what it is, and how to style it. Check them out.
Q. What is Blorange hair?
A. Blorange hair really hit the scene in 2017 and it was first a result of pink dye fading from blonde hair. (It was basically an accident. But so were many inventions!) This became quite a trend and eventually evolved into highlighting golden hair with peach tones… and then got even bolder and became a literal blood-orange color. (This is why it’s super important to make sure you bring a picture into your hair colorist to get the right color!) As you can see from our curated pictures in this article, blorange hair can really vary.
Q. How can I get Blorange hair at home?
A. While we highly recommend going to a professional hair salon to get your hair dyed any color, much less a tricky one like blorange, there are ways to experiment at home with limited risk. If your hair has recently been bleached, you can try toning your hair to get a pretty blorange look… which will eventually fade, especially if you follow the steps in this tutorial here, but it’s a good way to see if blorange is the color for you.
