While the warm days of summer lend themselves so well to easygoing hair looks (who wants to turn on a hair dryer when it's scorching hot?), there's still something about the weather that begets a hair color transformation. My theory is that, no matter how old you are, you want to glow up before the dull lull of September.
With that in mind, summer hair colors are always some of the best (and certainly the brightest) of the year. Natural brunettes tend to add a few blonde highlights—this year is all about the soft highlight—and redheads add even more copper tones—hello, cowboy copper—to their hair. And instead of brightening, some are turning to ashier shades that let their texture and gloss do all the talking. Still, there's no wrong way to rock summer hair colors.
