With summer on our doorstep and the holidays in sight, it’s always a good idea to shake things up a little. If you’ve been looking for a change and maybe a new look then you’re at the right place. Now is a really great time to do something different especially because of all the Christmas events you’ll be attending. You can definitely make sure to turn a few heads when you strut in sporting some holiday cheer and brand new confidence.

Here are a few hair colour trends to try as summer kicks into high gear:

1. Dipped Caramel

A great way for brunettes to have a little fun with a lighter shade is having their tips lightened so it looks like their hair has been dipped in a rich caramel color. The change isn’t too drastic and you’ll still feel and look like you just with a slight twist.

2. Peaches & Cream

For the blondes out there who want to step out of their comfort zone a little bit. You can easily try it out with a washout dye before going the whole nine yards to see if you like it. It’s a playful colour that isn’t in your face but just subtle enough to attract the attention of people you will be walking by.

3. Highlights

Not in the conventional sense but keeping the bottom hair dark and lightening the top with some gorgeous sunny highlights, will give you that summer sun-kissed look. If you have hair on the lighter side you can always ask your stylist to add some darker highlights underneath the top layer of hair.

4. Galaxies

Bright and contrasting colours are in and if you really want a change then this is the option for you. Think bright blues, purples, pinks and greens. The only limit is your imagination, mix them up or go for just one.

5. Blondes

Gone are the days where blondes were just..blonde. You can now opt to have different shades of blonde highlights. With all the different options available you can shake up your look whenever you feel the need to.

6. Carnival Candy Floss

If you’re tired or just getting blonde highlights then perhaps this one is for you. Have your stylist mix in some pink candy floss colour and enjoy an ombre look or even have your entire head coloured like this. It’s fun and cute and completely different.

7. The Blonde Bayalage

Don’t let the name fool you though. This style is one where your dark roots steal the show and the blonde that’s been growing out only highlights it. It’s a great colour option if you don’t always have the time to get back to the salon. It will look great long after you’ve had it done. The balayage something you can do to fast forward the look.

8. Silver Fox

Yes, silver-grey hair is still here, and it’s here to stay. Ask your stylist what shade of grey would suit you the best. There are gorgeous options available you just need to find the best one for you.

With these 8 great ideas to choose from you just can’t go wrong. Remember to speak to your stylist when wanting to make a dramatic change. Sometimes the upkeep alone just isn’t worth it.

Happy holidays!
