I can use Redken’s Blonde Glam Collection on a dark brunette like Jennifer Lopez to add rich, luminous tones or on a naturally light-haired client like Cameron Diaz to create that pefect cool neutral blonde. Bright, light shades are the must have haircolor this summer,” Cunningham said.

For ultra-light, ultra conditioned locks try Blonde Glam Pure Lightening Cream.

“Think Cameron Diaz.” Cunningham said. ”I add highlights for dimension and a beachy, lived-in, radiant summer look!  For styling blondes with short cuts, I love water wax 03  shine defining pomade. It gives you a separated, glossy finish that  really brings out platinum tones.” 

For a cooler, shimmering blonde the Blonde Glam Haircolor collection is your ticket to a Molly Sims inspired color.
