Social media hair colour trends for the summer
The summer is here, and our social media feeds are already exploding with BOLD new hair-dos that we can't get enough of!
With creations from the at-home colourists to the creative professionals, we can see that the pastel hues of spring are slowly being left behind for vibrant tones and artistic combos. If you're looking at going beyond just one colour for the summer, then here are 5 of our favourite trends, all from the feed of @directionshair.
Summer hair colour trend #1: Ocean colours
If you're jetting off on holiday or want to feel the trending little mermaid vibes, why not match your hair to the hues of the sea? Creating the perfect cool hair can be done with a blend of at least two colours. We always recommend cooler tones to achieve dreamy lagoon hair.
Liking the sound of this? Get the below look by using Midnight Blue at the roots, blended into Pastel Blue. But don't forget to lighten your hair to the correct level for our pastel shades!
Summer hair colour trend #2: Red hot contents
Warning! This season can be too hot to handle, especially if you're daring enough to put our warmer shades on your head. We've seen many of you already inspired by our red shades, and we hope to see more as the months go on.
Want to get the best hue? Vermillion Red has an orange undertone, so it is a great choice for keeping the heat. Or, try Pillarbox Red – with its pinker undertone, you can easily switch up to another shade once faded.
Summer hair colour trend #3: Fruity combos
To achieve the trending zesty summer look, go for luminous shades that are opposite one another on the colour wheel! The lighter your base, the more vivid the results will be, so don't forget to apply to the right level.
If you want a juicy combination to stand out this season, try this watermelon split using Fluorescent Lime and Flamingo Pink. We're sure this will really get you glowing.
Summer hair colour trend #4: Fairy-tale tones
Whether you're going for unicorn or mermaid, our fave colours to put together for this time of year are those that give us magical results. These shades are typically on the same side of the colour wheel to complement one another and blend. They also tend to be softer and cooler, like the look below!
Feeling inspired? This colour combo consists of Pastel Blue, Lavender, Carnation Pink and Plum mixed with White Toner. We definitely think it passes the vibe check for the season.
Summer hair colour trend #5: Sunrise shades
Mirroring those summer sunrises has to be one of the top styles for the season. We recommend blending at least 3 colours to achieve the best sunrise look, starting from the roots, to the mids, to the tips. If you're new at blending, it may be good to practice on a single hair extension to get some good practice in before your full application.
Cerise, Tangerine and Sunflower can be used to re-create this on-trend mullet. We don't condone, but proceed with your brows with caution!
