Hairstyle and color trends are forever changing with the seasons, and summer 2024 is no exception. If you want to change up your hair color and stay on trend for this summer, you need to know what styles are popular and what is going to be big. To ensure you get the best results, we recommend consulting with a professional stylist or salon that specializes in the trend you’re interested in. This way, you can get on board with the trend before your stylist refuses to carry this out on any more people!
So, what should you be considering prior to heading to the hairdresser chair for a significant change?
Spiced Rum
Recently seen on celebs such as Zendaya, the spiced rum color trend is more of a warm, coppery tone on brunette hair. It’s a trend that’s not only easily achieved but also maintained, making it a practical choice for those with darker hair colors. While all hair colors can take on a spiced rum trend, those with naturally lighter shades can expect to have more frequent touch-ups. But if you want to give some definition and life to darker hair, then this trend can be perfect for summer.
Luxe Brunette
Celebrities such as Hailey Baldwin and Dakota Johnson have been seen with a more luxurious shade of brunette, otherwise known as mob wife brunette. Essentially, this choice is more of a rich chocolate brown with shine exuding vibrancy and healthy in a more flowing feel than an average brunette. If going lighter isn’t your cup of tea and you want to revive your dark color, then opting for a more silky brown can elevate your locks and give you locks to die for.
Barely There Pastels
Pastels are always a popular color choice over the summer, but for this year, you want to dilute them even more so they give you that barely-there look. The aim of this look is to give a hint of color that isn’t overpowering or even completely over all the length of the hair. Istad is like the hint of color, a hue dusted over hair strands to accentuate the hair, not overpower the head or wash out your complexion. This style is best on naturally light hair as dark colors might need more time to lighten the hair, so it takes and requires considerably more upkeep.
Colour Blocking
Billie Eilish has been seen sporting the color-blocking trend, and this essential is a section of color on top of your natural hair color in any form or pattern but not typically over the whole head. It’s a trend that allows you to add copper to the ends of your brunette hair or a top section of red to blonde hair; check out this post on going from blonde to red hair or even green to black hair in strips around the side of the face. Where you choose to block the color is entirely up to you, but it’s a great way to add character and personality to your hair, empowering you to experiment with your look.
Soft Black
Not all hair stylists are on board with taking clients jet back, but soft black is a popular choice for summer 2024, and people love it. Steer clear of the Wednesday Addams black and think of a more fluid espresso type of black with velvety hues that just misses being the blackest of blacks. Glossy, not matt, shimmery, not void of life id, that aims for the soft black look. By choosing this trend, you’re making a confident and fashion-forward decision.
Sandy Blonde
The woman of the moment, Taylor Swift, rocks the sandy blonde look with ease and elegance, as does Jennifer Lawrence. To achieve this look, you want to mix iced-in highlights with shades of brown to give your hair depth and dimension. While you still maintain your blonde color, you are adding to it to give it a softer feel that is miles away from last year’s buttery blonde trend and infinitely more manageable, too.
Changing your hair color this summer can give you a new lease on life and elevate your style one strand at a time. However, you need to be confident you can upkeep the colors you go for, especially if you add vibrant solid colors such as reds or go from dark to blonde or vice versa. And remember, nothing is permanent. If it doesn’t work, you can grow it and start again. But if you want your hair to be as on-trend as your outfits, these 6 colors should be on your list of choices!
