Summer hair colors can be summed up in one word: fun. From the usual suspects, such as sandy blondes and golden hues, to loud color statements with neon and pastels, there’s just something about the warmer months that brings energy to our hair choices.
But if bold shades aren’t your thing, not to worry. This summer, celebrity colorist and Redken ambassador Laurie Heaps says you’ll also want to consider embracing your softer side. “We’re leaning into tones that feel warm, natural, and sun-kissed,” Heaps says. “Nothing too extreme, just soft [and] believable color that enhances your natural vibe.”
