No matter what hairstyle or hue you opt for this summer, these summer hair color trends will leave you looking refreshed and sophisticated. Just remember to limit heat styling as much as possible to protect the new hue you are opting for!
This year’s top balayage trend is an updated take on copper that blends warm copper tones with peach tones for an eye-catching, modern style. This technique creates a low contrast transition that looks natural and gradually grows out beautifully over time.
Rose Gold
Rose gold was an enormous trend last year and has only grown more popular this time. This soft pink hue looks absolutely beautiful when worn blown out or curled into curls for a classic top knot look. Additionally, it’s great for brunettes as unlike bright pink shades commonly seen on platinum blondes, this won’t damage their natural hair colour in any way.
If you’re feeling uncertain about going all-out with rose gold hair color, try it in an understated manner with some babylights from stylist Makenna Gunter. Her rosy balayage style can provide just enough rose gold tone without going full out; just remember it may fade slightly with each wash so make sure you use color safe shampoos such as Shea Moisture’s color safe formula for best results.
Platinum Blonde
Reaching platinum blonde requires heavy lifting, so it is wise to entrust this kind of transformation to a professional stylist. According to Kusero, platinum hair is “an ultralight shade with cool undertones that makes a statement.” As this type of coloring may cause damage if done incorrectly, so for maximum safety seek a knowledgeable stylist familiar with this form of transformation.
Wella Professionals offers an assortment of toners designed to personalize the platinum look. When it comes to reaching this state of perfection with minimal effort and damage to strands, Wella’s zero damage, demi-permanent glaze can help bring it all home for you.
Make an appointment with your stylist and have them add platinum highlights using BlondorPlex, a gentler lightener which reduces brassiness during bleaching processes for an elegant, light silver hue that gives dimension and beauty to your locks. Finish it off with Ultimate Smooth Miracle Oil Serum for silky-smooth locks!
Honey Silk Blonde
Honey Silk Blonde, a warm, rich blonde hue with subtle ribbons of warmth reminiscent of sunlight reflecting off its surface, can suit a range of complexions and hair textures. Due to its natural attractiveness, customization options, low maintenance requirements, celebrity influence, and technique innovation – Honey Silk Blonde remains popular as an enduring shade.
Jessie Buckley made waves at the Golden Globes red carpet in 2025 with an updated Grace Kelly-like elegance thanks to her Honey Silk Blonde hair color – an updated take on traditional cashmere tones, which complemented perfectly her fair skin tone and cool eyes.
For an enhanced and multidimensional appearance, ask your stylist about balayage or ombre techniques to add soft yet subtle highlights. By strategically using babylights or highlights strategically applied, babylights can draw attention to certain features on your face such as framing your eyes or accentuating jawlines. When it comes to maintenance use sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners designed specifically for color treated hair – minimising heat styling while protecting it from sun exposure as well as getting regular touch ups in order to prevent color fading!
Ginger Brunette
Ginger brunettes radiate warmth, comfort, and style. As a versatile shade change that can be worn multiple ways without bleaching or going too dark, ginger brunette hair color trends offer clients an easy way to add depth and dimension without bleaching or going too dark. For optimal results, ginger brunette should be refreshed every six to eight weeks for optimal vibrancy – try offering high-performance color treatments like RE/START Pro-Care System Color & Shine Shot or an Overtone Nutri Color Cherry Chestnut refresher product in-salon refreshers (for best results).
Brown hair offers endless styling possibilities, from warm cinnamon and caramel hues to cooler ash and burgundy shades. Add red highlights for an eye-catching style that blends naturally into its surroundings, like those worn by Keke Palmer and Megan Thee Stallion.
