The Summer Hair Color Trends You'll Want to Start Wearing Now

The copper hair trend isn't slowing down for Summer, but it will be getting a seasonal twist. "For light brunettes, you will be seeing a more warm subtle highlight like Beyoncé, Gigi, and Debbie Ryan," said Brown. "This color is beautiful and golden — almost like a sunset, which in my opinion is the best thing about the Summer."

There are two iterations of this sunny hair trend, and it depends solely on your base color and skin tone. "For the lighter blondes, very pale babylights — almost white blond — will be trending, especially around the face and lighter at the ends," she said. "This icy hair color is a bit bolder, but isn't as extreme as platinum. This is great for neutral to cooler skin tones, and looks great against a spray tan."

If you have warmer undertones, Brown says you can still pull off the pale blond look, but you might need to warm up your base color first. "Try a creamier blond color, [like] Dove Cameron or Lili Reinhardt," she said.

"A riskier trend you can anticipate seeing this Summer is bright pink — almost like a watermelon shade," said Brown. "Since the Pantone Color of the Year is 'living coral,' this pink will be a bit brighter than the cooler pastel pinks we've been seeing in Spring and on the slightly warmer side."

"To add some beachiness to medium-to-dark brown hair colors, we'll be seeing a slightly lighter ombré that's a little bolder," said Brown. "This doesn't mean a drastic change where it doesn't look natural, but it will definitely look lighter than what we've been seeing for Winter and Spring." Stick to neutral tones — like mushroom or ash — so the highlights "brighten up around your face without being red or too warm."

"We'll also see darker reds on the more neutral side with flecks of copper weaved in to reflect in the sun," said Brown. "So, in the sunlight the red will be bright and vibrant without being too copper or neon-looking."

Everybody likes seashells in the Summer time (Are we right?) but it also makes for rad hair color inspiration. "Sandy beach colors with a rootier look are on-trend for dark blondes," she said. "Neutral tones like these are great for all skin tones since its neither cool nor warm. I'd suggest a high-up ombré or off the root-type highlight with the brightness around your face."

For natural redheads with a lighter base color, a "soft strawberry blond will be their summer go-to look," said Brown. "It's about adding in golden blond highlights to that strawberry blond color for an 'I spent all day in the sun' look." Sounds dreamy, no?
