“Get this color by implementing a shorter lightening process and avoiding the cross into platinum blonde territory.”
“It’s subtle, sweet, and perfect for warm weather.”
Copper-Infused Brown
Looking for a way to add a little fire to your brunette?
“Copper browns are refined, but playful.
It’s such a great transition for summer without the damage,” says Stenson.
What’s more, it’s universally flattering.
Warm copper colors will work on fair to deep complexions, and can be maintained at home as well.
To achieve the look, ask your stylist for a medium-light brown shade with a warm golden toffee tone.
“This is a total departure from subtle blends that have been common most recently.
This daring style is super customizable and can even be worn with fantasy colors.
You could even try gray highlights for a smooth transition.
Warm Honey Blonde
Is it even summer without a little honey?
Show your colorist pics of Beyonce and Thalia for reference.
“This is a fresh brown that feels very warm and rich.
It’s the perfect caramel,” says Barrett.
Fantasy Colors
Give the rainbow a run for its money this summer by picking a fantasy hue.
Think lime green, electric blue, bright orange, and teal.
You could also try a sherbet swirl or rainbow strands.
So even as your hair grows out, the contrast looks good.
