Color Me! How to Get Kate Hudson's California Beach Blond

We all can't hire celebrity hairstylists for house calls, so Color Me! is a new column that delivers everything you want to know about your favorite stars' hair hue from the people who created the look - their colorists. Each column dissects what it takes to achieve the perfect shade, if you're a good candidate for the color, plus what to tell your own colorist to get a similar look.

If you recall, Kate Hudson wasn't always a blonde. But when your mother's named Goldie, it seems like a fairly obvious transition. Kate is the quintessential California girl, with soft highlights to match - as if the sun squeezed every last bit of color out of her hair. Seeing as Kate is my number one beauty inspiration, I was eager to get in touch with her colorist, Cassondra Kaeding of Sally Hershberger Salon in Los Angeles. If you, too, want dreamy blond hair like Kate's, keep reading for Kaeding's breakdown on how to achieve her look.
