The 10 Hair Colour Trends Set To Explode This Summer

This year's summer hair colour trends are teaching us one very important lesson: less is not always more. While clean girl aesthetic, vanilla girls and minimalism all had their moment in the spotlight, 2024 is more about doing the most — and then some.

Don't just be a brunette. Instead, be a mob wife brunette with rich, glossy undertones (a leopard-print Fran Drescher minidress is also encouraged). Copper may be soft and subtle, but spiced rum is its bolder, sassier sister who happens to be a lot more fun at a party. And instead of boring butter blonde, let the gold hues caramelise for a richer, more mature crème brûlée blonde. This summer, choose your colour and then find ways to turn it up to an 11.

To help inspire your most over-the-top summer yet, we asked the pros what colours they expect to see trending and exactly what to ask for to get the look.

But be warned: If you have a light natural hair colour, stopping into the salon for touch-ups every four to six weeks will be nonnegotiable, she says, because your roots will be especially noticeable in contrast to the wickedly dark brunette.

Crème brûlée is last season's butter blonde, but dirtied up a bit for a browned, warm tint. And if you think you're spotting three or four blondes in one, you are. "It's a multi-tonal blonde that uses shades of lemon, gold and bronze undertones painted throughout the hair," says colourist Diana Mildice. "Using multiple colours creates dimension and the illusion of thicker hair."

If highlights are the head cheerleader in high school, then microlights are the charming French exchange student. The effect is subtle and quiet, but totally captivating. "It's just a few soft amber flecks," says Diana Mildice, who thinks these look especially beautiful on wavy or curly hair types.

Think of colour blocking like your sun and moon zodiac signs. Putting every shade of your personality into your hair screams self-assurance. "It can be done with any variety of colours: blondes, reds, brunettes, or creative fashion colours. It's extremely versatile and personal to you," says Joseph.
