The chic blonde pixie sounds stunning, but we recommend you don’t bleach it light blonde, as the hue requires more maintenance in terms of revitalizing the locks and keeping brassy tones away. Better opt for darker blonde highlights, which add depth and dimension to the hair, making the brown shade multidimensional and eye-catching.
