With every new season comes a new opportunity to change up your look, especially your hair. As temperatures keep rising, playing around with your hair color is the perfect way to keep you looking cool this summer. The beauty in coloring your locks lies in the ability to adapt every color to your individual hair, making each look unique to you! And, who wouldn’t want to spend time in a cool, relaxing salon getting pampered every six weeks? Here are six hair colors worth trying this summer:
Bayalage
French for “sweep” or “paint,” bayalage is the result of hair coloration with soft lines that create a natural, sun-kissed look. Rather than splurging on harsh highlights, getting a bayalage coloring will give your hair a soft, effortless glow that’s perfect under the summer sun.
Bright Auburn
Spice up your red hair by taking it a few shades lighter. Not only will it glisten during the day, but your hair will look like a gorgeous sunset IRL. Who wouldn’t want their hair to mimic the perfect dusk colors 24/7?
Glossy Chocolate
For brunettes who want to add some excitement to their tresses, look no further than Kate Middleton for all of your #HairInspo. Her rich, glossy locks are perfect for summer and easy to mimic yourself. Deepening the russet color and getting some extra shine in your hair will catch the light everywhere you go, resulting in a glow that surrounds your face.
Creamy Blonde
Bright, blonde hair is one of the most classic summer hair colors. Give it a modern twist by trading the typical glossy sheen for a creamy matte blonde instead. To achieve the look, make sure all coloration and highlights are smoothly blended from the roots, as seen on Jennifer Lawrence, to create the soft yet striking pigmented color.
Light Black
Black doesn’t have to be seen as a hue just for fall or winter. Choosing the lightest shade of black with hints of light brown or red highlights will draw attention to your hair. As the perfect color in between deep brunette and jet black, your hair will stand out in this unique shade.
Pastel
Nothing screams summer like pastel! For the collegiette daring enough to dye her entire head a new color, shades of pastel pink, green, purple and blue will show off your fun sense of style. Not only will you stand out in a crowd, but people will be in awe of your ability to pull off an unlikely hue in your hair.
