There are plenty of fun ways to change your look for the
summer. While you can make simple changes like upgrading your wardrobe or
adding hair extensions, there are also more significant transformations to
consider, like a dramatic haircut or new color.
Most people don’t change their hair-color too
dramatically in a short period of time. Of course, it’s all a matter of
personal preference — while some individuals jump from blonde to blue to red
over a series of weeks (and they are slaying the look!), others go for more
subtle shifts, like lighter shades for warmer weather.
If you want to switch things around a bit to change your
look, here are five hair-color trends you might want to try this summer.
Bold
Roots
One of the top trends for 2020 is an easy one. If you’ve
dyed your hair before, all you have to do is let your roots grow for a bold,
low-maintenance look. Not only can you skip trips to the salon in the future,
but you also don’t really have to do anything to get the look in the first
place - just sit back and let your hair grow. The best part is this style works
with every color! If you don’t already have dyed hair, you can easily create
the look yourself. Just lighten some length of your hair, or if you’re a
natural blonde, darken your roots, and voila!
Wheat
Blonde
Summertime is all about warm hues, and the wheat blonde
channels the glowy vibe perfectly. This hair-color takes your regular blonde
hair and gives it more depth and dimension by adding streaks of brown and
darker blonde, making the shade appear warmer.
If you’re a dark blonde or brunette, you can take the
style in reverse and add highlights to darker hair to get the same look. You
can even put a unique twist on it by making some of the highlights bolder than
others. The warm brown-blonde hues trend is suitable for people of all hair and
skin types. You can definitely expect to see it around this summer and beyond.
Blacks
& Almost-Blacks
Who doesn’t look good in black? No matter what type of
undertones suit you best, black is free from all those constraints. Blacks and
dark browns are such classic, captivating shades that they look just as amazing
all year round. While light colors may not be everyone’s favorite, darker
shades suit most people. They make your hair look fuller and shinier,
especially in the summer months!
You can pull off almost every hairstyle in blacks and
browns. So, if you’re looking for a darker look this summer, this trend has got
you covered. You can even add a brown touch between the black shade to give
your hair a softer look, or go for pure jet black for a little attitude.
Red
Velvet
Are you getting tired of all the natural colors? Natural
may not necessarily mean boring, but sometimes you just want to do something
otherworldly, and that’s where the red velvet hair-color trend comes in. This
vivid red is bolder and brighter than natural reds and strawberry blondes!
Under the summer sun, the fun, eye-catching shade makes even more of a
statement.
Since the darker and brighter shades of red have neutral
undertones, they’re suited to all complexions and make for an excellent option
for your brand new summer look. You can also add a touch of brown for a more
natural shade of red to tone down the vibrance. Or, make an even more dramatic
statement when you pair the hair-color with hair extensions.
Icy
Silver
Silver as a hair-color is typically associated with
winters and colder weather, but the rules about in-season shades have long been
abandoned. Icy silver and ashy hair were a big trend last summer and continue
to be popular in 2020. The color works for everyone and is a flattering look
for all complexions. It adds shine to your hair and will turn heads during all
of your favorite summertime activities.
There’s no harm in experimenting with the silver
hair-color trend. Imagine a darker variation with your natural roots moving
towards silver in a soft gradient to keep the look low-maintenance. Or pick
colors with warmer or cooler undertones based on your skin color. Whether you
want to add just a touch of it or go all out, silver is one of the best options
to consider this summer.
