9 Trendy Summer Hair Colors That’ll Have You Calling Your Colorist

Copper is such a gorgeous shade to wear in the summer — just ask Sophie Turner and SZA. Its hints of goldish red and brown shine in the sun, emphasizing your glow. Take the plunge and dye all of your hair or integrate it into your current color with highlights or lowlights.

The “money piece” trend may have been named for its time-saving and cost-effective coloring process, but it’ll make you look like a million bucks. Chose any shade you like (though this summer, you’ll mostly see streaks of blonde or playful colors like pink or red) and go to town on the face-framing sections.

Pastel hues are summer classics, but this year, expect to see some unexpected shades. Rosé-inspired hues like Chrissy Teigen’s will always be a summer favorite, but other playful pastels are the ones to watch. Like Keke Palmer’s soft peach tones. “A lot of my clients are asking for other playful colors like mint green and icy blue to try something fresh for summer,” says Mesquit.

Billie Eilish broke the internet when she traded her infamous black and green hair for this beautiful blonde. It gives you the best of both worlds: a cool-toned blonde with the warmth and creaminess of a honey blonde shade.

One thing to note: Knight says to make sure you’re armed with the right products to keep it looking fresh and free of brassy tones. A product like Wella’s Blonde Recharge Shampoo “incorporates violet into a nourishing wash to eliminate any yellows or brass tones from your tresses.”

This sweet shade of brown looks amazing on all hair types. Caramel is a great color choice to add warmth to your strands, and it’s a perfect one to mix with others.

Stars like Kelly Clarkson, Christina Aguilera, and Britney Spears popularized chunky highlights in the early 2000s, and the look has been making a major comeback lately. This summer, you’ll see the style incorporate lighter, brighter, and warmer shades to create a fun and dynamic look.

This ultra-cool take on a summery blonde will be all of your timeline in no time. The style blends different shades of blonde, ultimately creating a beautiful blend that looks like its own unique color. Kylie Jenner rocked the style a few months back and it’s major inspo for the new season.

“With places to be and people to see, everyone is wanting an extra sparkle,” says Hillier. “Shimmering gold tones are all the rage, since they reflect the most light and give the appearance of ultra shine.” To get that summer shine, this grainy golden shade of blonde is the way to go.

This hair color will have you looking like a snack — pun very much intended. The gorgeous shade of brown will add warmth and depth to your hair. Like caramel, it also plays well with other hues.
