With Memorial Day weekend comes the unofficial start of summer, which means the search for the best summer hair color ideas is on. Though trying a new shade like red or a bright blonde may sound like fun, the hair color trends lately have been skewing toward more low-maintenance colors like light bronde and mocha mousse. Celebs (and royalty!) like Katie Holmes and Kate Middleton are leaning into warmer, sun-kissed looks like dimensional blondes and honey browns with subtle highlights, which have super easy upkeep and can extend the time between salon appointments. Of course, that doesn’t mean you have to shy away from fun experimental colors like cowboy copper, which will continue to be popular in the summer months and beyond.
For the rest of 2025, the best hair colors “will be low-maintenance and natural with a play on variations of ‘color within the color,’” says Diana Mildice, a colorist at Chicago’s Maxine Salon. “This means we will see more dimensional blondes, reds, and brunettes that have unique visual movement created by layering various colors within.”
No matter what your vibe is, we’ve rounded up the coolest summer hair color ideas you have to try, from bold technicolor to low-key natural and everything in between. To ensure you get exactly the shade you’re looking for, make sure to show your colorist a photo of what you’re envisioning.
Whether you’re heading to the hair salon or ready to try coloring your hair at home, we’ve got plenty of hair color ideas for the warmer months to come. Read on for 31 trending summer hair colors to try this season, and get ready to book an appointment.
