13 best bleach blonde band boys definitively ranked
When Ali and I became friends, we realized we both had the same type in men: bleach blonde band boys. We have now given our official ranking and list of favorites because if you write it down it becomes science. To further our study, we also included photos of these boys so you can compare for yourself. Some of these photos are of us with the band members and those might just be some of our favorites.
Before we begin, here is our list of honorable mentions:
Michael Clifford (5 Seconds of Summer), Jedd Webster (New City), Justin Timberlake (*NSYNC), Austin Porter (PRETTYMUCH), Pat Kiloran (MILKK), Sergio Calderon Jr. (In Real Life)
13. Tyler Szalkowski (State Champs)
via Nikolai Hasenhutl, @noisy.pictures We would first like to mention that something about pop punk boys makes them superior. We don't make the rules, we just enforce them. Tyler, in particular, is such a sweetheart and rocks the bleach blonde so well. During a State Champs set, it looks super cool, too, because of the colorful lights. Good lighting, good music, great hair.
12. Ross Lynch (R5)
via Getty Images Okay, we had forgotten about him until he became Twitter's white boy of the month awhile ago. He's been letting the blonde fade away lately, but we will never forget how good his messy-haired blonde selfies were. Also, highkey love that he's a bit of a throwback to Austin & Aly.
11. Paul Jason Klein (Lany)

So, he cut all the blonde off and we're a little... bitter about it. Therefore, we couldn't give him entry into the Top 10 (a sacred spot). However, we need to talk about how good the medium-long hair looked pulled back in a bandana. Also, when the roots were showing a bit? Amazing content.
10. Alex Gaskarth (All Time Low)
[gallery type="rectangular" size="medium" ids="39348,39349,39351"] Wow, time for the Top 10 and it starts with a band that helped guide Ali and I both into the pop punk light. But, we get it. Technically, his hair is green now. However, there was awhile when it was doing that super pretty silver-y thing that happens sometimes with bleach. And also we're kind of in love with the contrast between his mega dark eyebrows and bleached hair. Wow.
9. Sam Bowden (Neck Deep)
via @chrisblockd We just really love Neck Deep, okay? Plus, Sam has mastered the perfect length for the bleach blonde look. He touches up his roots relatively well and has the right complexion for the style. It's beautiful! No one else I'd want to see when I'm crowding surfing and tumble over the barricade.
8. Jack Johnson (Jack & Jack)

Wasn't expecting him to pull it off, but he just... does. He has that scruffy beard and such that truly gives an even better overall look since it, like, frames his face. Also, Johnson wears those circle glasses, making the bleach blonde look mature in some way. Such confidence, inspirational.
7. Min Yoongi (BTS)
via @BTS_IS_BACK7 on Twitter So, all of the BTS boys nonstop change their hair color and there is no possible way any sane person could keep up. However, Yoongi is blonde a lot and in our humble (mostly-non-BTS-stan) opinion, we think he just looks so soft and cute as a blonde that we had to include him.
6. EBEN
[gallery type="columns" size="medium" ids="39327,39333" orderby="rand"] Look, we wanted to include EBEN in our Top 5 so, so, badly. Ali and I are both EBEN girls and extremely passionate about EBEN and will talk to you about him for 27 consecutive hours without shutting up. However, this is a very serious list and we had to be critical. The issue is that he's not technically a band boy. He's a great and talented solo artist who we love dearly. So, we found a loophole: E was formerly in a boy band called Far Young. Thank God because not including him would be a crime against fake blondes. His hair is so shiny and glossy. He radiates a sunshine vibe and that's all that matters.
5. Corbyn Besson (Why Don't We)
[gallery type="rectangular" size="medium" ids="39344,39329,39345"] We decided that Corbyn would be higher on the list, but we're just so used to seeing him with blonde hair that it almost seems... natural? (It's not, though. He is definitely a fake blonde. So, much so that we told him about this list and he kind of geeked over the idea.) He pulls it off so well and also is an expert in fake blonde hair. He's such an expert that he's actually perfect at its maintenance. Actually, Corbyn is perfect in general. So, while his hair is probably superior... we had to rank him number 5. Part of the appeal of bleach blonde boys for us is that it takes a little risk and sometimes the cute boys don't know how it works so they end up with variations of hair color and quality. Something about the shock factor and the kinda messiness of it all gives us major heart eyes. In conclusion, Corbyn is too perfect for his own good.
4. Tristan Evans (The Vamps)
via Getty Images Looking at any picture of Tristan is just a lot for us to process. He makes the blonde both hot and adorable. That should be illegal, but its not so we have to just suffer and figure out how to cope with this sort of content. Also, the British accent may have influenced our decision just a little bit... because wow!
3. Eric Haines (Real Friends)
via Ali Fitzgerald, @alfitzpics This boy literally made Ali and I jittery and speechless. Only a few days before we covered the show, he decided to go blonde. We could almost smell the fresh bleach (not really). So, after the show we tried to be professional (as we are) and talk music business, but I just word vomitted and Ali nervously twitched. So, we had to rank him pretty high since he left us that stunned.
2. Daniel Seavey (Why Don't We)

Shaking while writing this because I am so head-over-heels for Daniel and while Ali claims Corbyn is her favorite Why Don't We member, Daniel was her original fave. So, that makes us both extremely soft for Mr. Seavey, who recently surprised fans by bleaching his entire head. It looked so freaking good. It still amazes us every time we see it. The best part is that it faded to that pretty bleached silver. Everything about it screams cute e-boy. He made the second place spot on the list for being so bold and also for the way it compliments his blue eyes. However, Daniel keeps covering up his hair with a beanie, even when performing outside in the sun when we all know it would shimmer and make us soft. For the sake of fan girls every where, we would like to implore him to do better and take the beanie off, please.
1. Niall Horan (One Direction)
Ali with blonde Niall? Content that we deserve. Our number one spot had to go to the man who started it all for both of us. In fact, I knew I could trust Ali when she slid into my Twitter DMs and I saw Niall followed her. Niall girls stick together. We later realized that our obsessions with fake blondes definitely began when we were One Direction stans. Even though the blonde in his hair may have faded, those memories never can.
Unrankable (Bet you thought we were done, huh?)
So... we would be amiss if we didn't mention the king of hair... Awsten Knight (Waterparks).
via Tenor While this absolute legend changes his hair color all of the time, we need to respect how often it actually is bleach blonde. We couldn't rank him. That would be unfair to all of the other bleach blonde band boys who are trying their best. So, instead we gave him this category all on his own, especially since he even has his own line of hair dye. We stan this energetic, bleach blonde band boy so much. Think we missed a band boy? Let us know! (We're always looking for new bleach blondes to ruin our lives.) Tweet @aliandalexblogs or DM us on Instagram.
