Youre going to want a salon appointment ASAP.
Will it be a toasty brunette?
A rose petal pink?
Or a mushroom brown?
(The last one looks way better than it sounds, I promise.)
Summer is, after all, a time when it feels extra exciting to be spontaneous with yourhair color.
For inspo on summer 2023s hottest hair color trends, look no further than celebs like Hailey Bieber.
Also expected to be big?
Variations on red (of course), warm browns, and multidimensional balayage.
1Mushroom Tones
If you have lighter hair, its all about going darker this summer.
This summer, we will see rich tones, even if theyre blonde.
One way to add richness?
[These] variations of slightlydarker blondes and lighter brownscan work for anyone, he says.
Ask for mushroom or golden tones as opposed to platinum or ash blonde.
2Toasted Brunette
Expect to see a lot of toasted brunette tones, too.
This is a mix of warm coppers and a medium roast coffee, Richards tells Bustle.
It can be achieved by blending the two colors for a single process or doing the blending with highlights.
Once these two colors mix together, it creates a warm brown.
It looks amazing on just about any skin tone.
3Cherry Coke
Cherry coke hairis having a moment, and thatll continue into summer.
When you go to the salon, ask for dimensional color or full highlights with gloss, she says.
The gloss will add more depth and shine.
5Fire Red
For something that pops even more than pink, consider going for all-over red.
6Lived-In Blonde
A lived-in, grown-out blonde always feels right for summer.
To get it, ask for a base break or a quick lift, says Richards.
It takes away the natural ash of your color and gives it a little summery punch.
Whichever variation you go with, its meant to be shiny and will look so good in vacation pics.
Coppers work on a variety of skin tones, he tells Bustle.
Ask your stylist to place swatches by your face to help determine the tone that is best for you.
8Honey Blonde
Godard is also seeing blondes ditching purple shampoo and embracing natural golden-toned beach blondes.
This is usually the most flattering blonde on a lot of people, he says.
If you currently have ashy blond hair, ask your stylist for a gloss service.
They can add the missing warmth back in, he explains.
9Warm Chocolate Brunette
When in doubt, remember that warmth is back, Godard says.
Itll shine through all your poolside hangs.
Its more natural for brunettes who want dimension without going too light, Valdes says.
It also allows for lower maintenance.
At the salon, ask for balayage and a gloss.
But if your hair is all-over color, then I would go into a salon.
Think lime green or sunset red.
The look is low-maintenance and grow-in friendly two perks that are ideal for summer.
12Gray Blending
Another big trend for summer?
Embracing grays, Perkins says.
The idea is to let your natural grays pop through your base color.
The silver strands can look like baby highlights, says Perkins, that you didnt have to pay for.
Letting go of your strict coloring routine will also be a relief.
The shiny reflection will looksopretty in the sun.
14Color Blocking
Warning: Color blocking is not for the faint of heart.
Either way, the look fits right in with the 90s and early 2000s aestheticthats still making the rounds.
As Perskins says, Its a great trend to grab on to.
