From Pastels to Neons: Exploring the Hottest Semi-Permanent Hair Color Trends of the Season

Summer beauty is all about the carefree, less-is-more and low-maintenance look.

Nothing is ever truly out when it comes to hairdo trends, as being said, certain looks naturally come and go, particularly when it comes to hair color. A new season ushers in new trends and techniques for coloring and highlighting hair. When you are ready to make a hair color change, check out these expert-approved trends for better ideas.

Buttercream blonde

You might have noticed a huge transition from platinum and icy tones to more buttery, warm colors with blondes this spring. It has a very natural warm tone to it, but it is still bright enough for spring.

Honey blonde

A light honey blonde will be one of the most popular summer color requests in 2023. For a dimensional, beachy effect, ask your stylist to mix up various warm-blonde highlights and lowlights throughout your hair and also feel free to match it with some beachy waves.

Caramel-drizzle hair color

One of the hottest looks for spring 2023 is a caramel tint weaved into a deep-brown background. When you are through arranging your hair, sprinkle it with a shine spray to keep it super-shiny like hers.

Shadow root for this summer

The summer shadow-root trend is very simple to grow out and unlike all-over blonde highlights, which leave a sharp line at your roots, it blends in rather easily and "subtly lightens and brightens your look". The result? As your hair grows, you will spend less time in the salon and have more freedom.

Brown balayage

Regardless of trends, balayage in a lighter brown tone is a great way to add some brightness to your ends if you already have dark hair. It’s modest, but it gives your hair a sunny transition before summer.

Cherry-cola summer hair color

The color is “extremely popular right now”, and if you want to try a warmer tint on your brunette hair but don’t want to go lighter, try incorporating some red tones throughout.

Hidden or peekaboo highlights

Peekaboo highlights in bright colors will be the most popular Y2K style in spring 2023. It is similar to all of the underlayer colors and with a 2023 twist: rainbow and pastel colors just keep in mind that you will have to bleach your hair to obtain highlights this brilliant, which can cause damage, so better use a protein treatment once a month to strengthen brittle strands.

New season, new you, right? Pick up your favorite shade of color to make your summer bolder, with bright hues and warmth.
