Hair Color Hairstyles For the Summer

Altering your hair color can be exciting to add interest and stand out. Opting for bold hues will help set yourself apart.

Blonde

Marilyn Monroe made blonde the color it is for a reason – its beauty perfectly enhanced her complexion. From light like Gwen Stefani to dark like Michelle Williams, a lived-in blonde shade can add the perfect finishing touch for summer looks and can easily be maintained through regular touch-ups. Reese Witherspoon’s buttery blonde color looks lovely on anyone with light eyes, while her pinkish tones work beautifully for women with blue or hazel eyes. If you want to brighten brown locks without bleaching them, ask your stylist to create a balayage effect with honey highlights. Naked blonde, a natural hue created by blending various shades in an easy balayage technique, provides an effortless look.

Black

Black hair is seductive and sophisticated, looking beautiful no matter the length. To add an extra vibrant pop of color, ask your stylist about adding balayage caramel highlights for even greater depth. Adding blue shades to your black hair color can create an eye-catching effect without being too overwhelming. Consider styling with cornrows and braids for a protective yet stylish look for natural curly locks that need volume and definition.

Red

Fire engine red is an eye-catching hue that grabs attention. It looks especially striking against long and wavy locks and pairs well with warm skin tones and dark eyes. Adding golden blonde highlights can create a soft yet muted effect if you want to experiment with red without going completely bold. Like rich maroon tones, dark red hues can work well on most complexions. Consider trying out those shades in your next lipstick purchase.

Blue

Blue hair colors make a statement and quickly get noticed. They look great with any haircut, with longer locks being gorgeous in pastel tones and shorter styles benefiting from bold hues like teal or cobalt blue. Various shades of blue, ranging from navy and denim to sky or denim options, are suitable for every skin tone and personality. If you need more time to decide whether to commit to full blue dye, why not opt for a two-toned hue that blends purple and blue? This beautiful balayage adds depth and fades over time.

Purple

Purple is an eye-catching hair color that offers endless possibilities. Adding violet highlights to wavy medium-length locks creates an eye-catching look that flatters most skin tones. For a bolder option, dyeing your hair a vibrant violet shade will draw attention. Just use high-quality sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner to help avoid color fade. Try the trendy purple balayage with purple highlights for snow blond hair, creating a lively style perfect for special events or formal gatherings.
