Coloring Your Summer

The weather is warming up, the days are longer, and your calendar is filling up with loads of things to do for the coming months. That must mean it’s time to take your summer style to the next level by amping up your hair color. Whether you’re interested in a complete do-over or just a simple upgrade, here are some color facts to help you make a great choice.

Beginning on the darker end of the spectrum, rich brunette works for just about everyone. There are shades that will not only suit any skin tone but will offer great choices for highlights and lowlights too. If you have a golden or fair complexion, start with the creamier colors. If your skin is olive or red-based, look toward the cooler tones that tend to be deeper in color. Your colorist can work with virtually any shade you choose to make it work best for you. For more movement and texture, try adding some tone-on-tone highlights.

This summer we’ll be seeing a trend toward natural nude tones on the blonde end of the hair color spectrum. It’s an extension of the monochromatic looks we’ve been seeing in makeup this year, and it works very well for anyone who is a natural blonde or who has a neutral or golden tone to their skin. If you have a cool skin tone and you want desperately to be blonde, talk to your colorist about finding a range of colors that will work with your complexion rather than against it, or opt for a light copper tone instead.

And speaking of the red range, there’s something for almost everyone here too. While cool skin tones work best with the coppers, warm skin tones will really come to life with the auburn range. Again, there are virtually limitless combinations to make with undertones and highlights, and your colorist can find a great combination to compliment not only your skin tone but also your cut. Highlights are an excellent way to add depth and movement to any style.
