Blonde Hair Style and Color Ideas To Lighten Your Look This Summer

Are you looking for a blonde hair color or maybe a fresh new hair style idea for the summer?

No matter how dark or light your natural base color or what your skin tone is, there is a blonde shade to suit you. And blonde just happens to be the most popular hair color for the mild weather seasons.

So here are some tips for summery hair color ideas to bring out your inner goddess!

For Brunettes Going Blonde: If you have wavy, shoulder-length hair in a brunette tone, don't go for all-over color. Instead, add texture to your style plus some caramel highlights scattered throughout the crown and part areas. The textured waves combined with the highlights will reflect the sunlight and create a dazzling effect.

Long Hair Color Tip: If you have long hair that's damaged or dull, invest in a good color safe and natural hair conditioner like Revitalizing Conditioner from n-fruizon™ BODY THERAPY before coloring and make it a regular part of your hair regime. After all, your hair has been subjected to years of styling and brushing so the mid lengths and ends are more damaged than the roots.

Consider opting for the soft, wavy hairstyles that are so hot this year matched with a vanilla blonde color. The new S Wave Thermal Set™ is soft and gentle, even on long, colored hair. The S Wave Thermal Set™ waving technique and solution from n-fruizon Body Therapy is a gentle formula designed to create soft, manageable curls and waves for all types of hair.

Find The Right Blonde For You: Before choosing a new hair color, consider your skin tone and eye color. You may find that warmer colors suit you better and lift your overall appearance. For example, if your hair has already been bleached or colored a very light blonde hue and your darker roots are starting to show, change your color to a warmer tone of blonde with deep honey highlights. And forget the bleach... your hair needs time to recuperate. A new hair color can create an extraordinary impact when combined with a fresh new hair style.

Layer Your Colors For an Exciting Look: If you naturally have a light brown base color, try going for highlights with a multi-coloring technique. Applying the highlights in several tones on the part area and keeping the layers underneath darker will give you a striking and unique look. This type of coloring looks especially good on straight, medium-length hair with side bangs.

I hope these blonde hair color ideas have inspired you to do something refreshingly different with your hair this season. It will not only update your appearance but will also help lift your mood and get you into a summery state of mind.
