24 Stylish Summer Hair Color Ideas to Copy ASAP

Bright sun showering all its rays on me while I am lying on the sands of the beach and sipping coconut water. This wish comes to my mind first as summer approaches. At that time, instead of covering my hair with a hat, I would love to let them shine more under the sun. And, to see more envious eyes, I couldn’t go wrong with my hair color. For inspo, I started looking for summer hair color ideas. Summer hair colors are different from winter hues. My in-depth research on this topic has made me pick several colors, which I would love to share with you.

Goth hairstyles reflect a mysterious and dark vibe. By forgoing the part of an undone style, commit to the goth style and add a smoky cat-eye to finish the dramatic look.

As George Papanikolas, the celebrity hairstylist of Matrix StyleLink told Good Housekeeping, “Ronze is a mixture of bronze brown and copper-red.” The shimmery effect of this new summer hair color trend will keep you inspired all year long.

Ultra-rich and a mix of black and brown, this is one of the hair colors that require low maintenance. The best way to get this color is by using a semi-permanent hair dye.

15. Warm Chocolate Tones

With a deep brown undertone, get a clear shine glaze or lowlights. Try a “gloss” treatment at home and add depth by painting on thin lowlights a shade darker than your base or look for a color like “chestnut” or “caramel “.

16. Baby Blonde

Try baby blonde if you want to go light without verging into the full-on platinum territory. This shade is extremely light and makes you resemble a blonde girl.

17. Warm Dimension

On the roots and ends of your hair, add varieties of warm shades. This looks superb and pretty as both colors are on the warm sides. Here’s ash blonde hair with platinum lowlights.

18. Quarantint

It is fun to play with color during the lockdown period which is known as quarantint. Play with bold shades, those who are still working from home. The easiest one to DIY is Pink, but for summer purple or blue looks the best.

19. Glowy Apricot

Want to refresh your red color after quarantine? To get a breath of new life in your faded red hair, go for a bright, sunny shade this summer as this color works great on red. Ask your stylist for a light auburn hue with peachy tones for this similar shade.

20. Sandalwood Strips

Without an extreme change, if you want to add dimensions to your curls, this color works great for those having thicker dark hair. These sandalwood strips give separation to highlights creating beautiful and natural textures. 

21. Lots of Color for Summer

Get a bigger change in your hair color by applying two to three bright colors. Being at home is safe for playing with different colors such as purple, pink, and even green which you never have thought before.

To give your hair dimension, we normally prefer highlights and lowlights. But people who can do colors themselves at home, mostly select a one-dimension color.

24. Caramel Highlights

In summer, when we’re under the sun, our hair naturally gets a bit warmer. But most often being at home you can highlight your hair. If salons are open in your area, then try for caramel brown so that it can make your hair color look luxe but still natural.
