As seasons change, so too do our beauty routines – whether that means updating our wardrobe or trying a different hair color. This year we’re seeing some bold hair color trends! From vivid hues around the parting to rainbow ombre styles – here are some stylish ideas you should try this summer.
Warm Blonde
Buttery blonde shades like this one are perfect for girls who desire a sun-kissed look. This warm hair color works beautifully on light to medium complexions and pairs beautifully with brown eyes. Contrast may look better, but blends of colors often look more natural. This gorgeous balayage features faded dirty blonde and soft creamy shades combined into one luxurious hue for maximum impact. Contrasting with ombre and dip-dye styles, this gradient doesn’t follow an exacting plank gradient; your stylist hand-painted each blonde shade onto your locks, creating a gorgeous mix of tones. You may ask your stylist to add caramel highlights for an extra shine boost. While this shade works beautifully on fair complexions, lighter blonde tones tend to fade faster than their darker counterparts and, therefore, may need periodic touch-ups to maintain the brightness of strands.
Ginger Spice
Warmest among ginger hair colors, this toasty hue stands out against warmer skin tones. It is an excellent way to give blonde strands a refreshing new look without risking brassy results; perfect if you want to avoid a drastic color change that requires constant upkeep! If you love the idea of red hair but are still deciding whether to commit to an intense burgundy or maroon hue, try this deep cinnamon hue that offers the best of both worlds. Priyanka Chopra rocked this trendy hue with caramel and brown balayage highlights for a luxuriously vibrant glow-up effect. If low maintenance is what you seek, ask your stylist to add some baby lights around your face and shoulders for this new trend that gives brunettes lightening effects with minimal effort. This sandstone shade has subtle undertones of cool-toned ash to keep it from looking too stark.
Chestnut Brown
Chestnut brown is an eye-catching shade that complements light and dark complexions equally well. It makes an excellent option for brunettes experimenting with the ombre hair trend without going overboard with their look. Chestnut brown is an irresistibly versatile hue, boasting reddish and natural brown tones for a bold yet visually-pleasing appearance. Celebrities such as Serena Williams, Penelope Cruz, and Zendaya have been seen sporting its rich combination of colors in multiple ways. Ask your stylist for a chestnut balayage highlight if you want a subtle way to wear this hue. This technique involves blending lighter shades into dark brown hair base color for added dimension and beauty in any hairstyle – an effective way to spice up bob or lob cuts! For something bolder, ask them to add chestnut highlights in an ombre style; adding reddish tones into brown locks can instantly brighten up the complexion and bring more focus toward eyes and facial features.
Mushroom Brown
Mushroom brown is an on-trend hair color trend inspired by portobello mushrooms’ earthy tones. Your stylist can create this look by applying subtle mushroom brown balayage techniques on both roots and ends for optimal results. This balayage technique is ideal for brunettes who wish to add dimension and depth without going too light. However, it must be remembered that bleach may be needed to lighten and combat brassiness, which may be harmful if overdone. If you want to minimize damage when bleaching, it’s wise to limit your sessions. To help ensure optimal results and ensure they fit with your hair type, enlist a stylist’s assistance for advice on the appropriate bleaching process and products based on consultation, as well as tips for maintaining new color – such as using sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner as well as applying toner or gloss every few weeks.
