Rich amber undertones, copper highlights, warm golden hues: If those colors speak to you, strawberry blonde might be your next perfect shade. As a hairstylist who’s worked with diverse hair textures for 12 years, I’ve seen how this unique color can work beautifully on Black women’s hair – from loose curls to protective styles.
