Brighter Hair Color for a Brighter Summer

by Ali Moss.

Longer days and more sun changes the impact of our hair color. As we transition from Spring to Summer, this is a good time to update your color. Generally you want to add brightness and dimension so that your style keeps its place in the sun!

Brighter doesn't always mean plain old highlights... There are so many ways to spice up your color for the warm weather that are quick and protect the integrity of your hair.

Below are a few tips based on your hair color. Like I said, a lot of times you don't even need an overhaul, just a few key touch-ups. See below for examples!

For brunettes, consider some panels of lighter browns under your part, so you don't notice the grow out. This will keep you from looking washed-out. Notice, too, how it brings the main color alive.

Redheads, you can easily add dimension with a second color that matches the tone of your hair but a few shades lighter. For example, add some hand painted copper pieces on a deep, true red base.

Blondes consider richer colors and a few of them, to give dimensionality to your look. This will keep your hair from looking faded in the sun.

A great service for all haircolors is a semi-permanent gloss of Redken Shades to add shine. A new tone easily enlivens your look!
