Double process blending is the best way to achieve pale blonde results because it involves lightening the hair with bleach or high-lift tint first, followed by application of a toner or cool blonde dye to achieve the desired result. Using a single application of high-lift tint may not provide enough lift for pale blonde results, while using a semi-permanent color will not lighten the hair enough. Applying a natural base color may only result in a slightly lighter shade and may not provide the desired result of pale blonde. Therefore, double process blending is the most effective and efficient method for achieving pale blonde results.
