These 5 Chicest Blonde Hair Colours to Know This Summer

When it comes to summer hair trends, nothing excites me more than a fresh new hair colour. In fact, I always try and book an appointment for the end of June so that I can refresh my look ahead of the warmer months.

While there are plenty of different options out there, one look I come back to time and time again is a classic blonde balayage. I love adding some lighter blonde highlights into my brunette ends to give my hair that sun-kissed effect. However, this year I'm a little bored of going for the same thing again and again, and I think I'm ready to go blonde all over.

It's time for a hair transformation, so I've been doing my research into the best summer hair colours for blondes. I reached out to Charley Henery, British colour technician of the year and international artistic director at TONI&GUY, who shared all of her top recommendations with me. From "buttercream blonde" to "iced champagne" and more, keep on scrolling for some of the coolest hair colours of the season...

5 Trending Summer Hair Colours for Blondes, as Recommended by an Expert

1. Buttercream Blonde

First up is "buttercream blonde". As described by Henery, this colour is rich, warm and luxe, and is perfect for those blondes who want a more golden, glossy look this summer.

What I love about this trend is that it looks super natural and chic, and while the warm, golden hue is perfect for summer, it will also work for every single season.

Another slightly more natural and low-maintenance option for the warmer months is this rooted baby blonde look. " ultra-light ends with a softly shadowed root for depth," explains Henery.

No need to worry about going to the salon every few weeks, as this trend allows you to embrace your natural hair colour. Simply ask your hairdresser to blend the blonde highlights naturally into your roots for this shadowed effect.
