Summer 2017 Hair Color Trends

I will list the top eleven hair color trends for summer 2017, according to Cosmopolitan Magazine website, but I will add my own opinion.

Cool-toned hair colors, like cool-toned clothes and makeup colors, tend to look classic, traditional and elegant. Cool-toned hair colors seem to be the latest trend for summer hair because hair colors during previous summers tended to be warm shades to go with golden tans and bronze-colored tans. Therefore, this summer's cool-toned hair colors will likely have a contrast against tanned summer skin.

Platinum blonde hair should be bleached to the roots. I think this blonde hair color is the way to go if you want to bleach your hair blonde. Bleaching your hair to the roots looks clean, professional, and natural.

Blonde hair with a touch of dark roots tends to look tacky. I have always thought that bleached blondes with dark roots looked very cheap, or it may even make the person appear to be confused with deciding which hair color they prefer. But Cosmopolitan called it a "natural blonde" hair color because the dark roots are subtle.

Strawberry blonde hair with added highlights looks like light red hair with blonde highlights. And, with extra highlights, it will tend to look more blonde than red.

I know a Mexican woman who has natural strawberry blonde hair, which is a nice shade on her. But she looks even better when she adds highlights because it makes her green eyes appear greener.

Consider dark brown hair on top of the head gradually fading to a lighter shade down to the blonde tips at the end of the hair. This coloring is similar to a monochromatic brown hair in different shades, which is like the Tiger-Eye brown shades.

Butterscotch blonde looks like a dirty blonde color, but it might have some golden red undertones. I think it looks like a natural dark blonde.

Chestnut brown hair color tends to have a red undertone, like my hair. So, I henna my hair in one of the red or brown shades of henna. Each red shade gives my hair a different shade of auburn, from a bright auburn shade to a dark auburn shade as well as a metallic red shade - which has a coppery red tone. The red henna just brings out my natural red undertones as well as makes my gray hairs look like red highlights. The chestnut brown henna shade just looks like my natural hair color. And, the black henna shade on my hair looks like a richer chestnut brown tone of my natural hair color. I prefer to use the Light Mountain Henna hair product because all their hair colors look very natural on my chestnut brown hair, regardless which red or brown shade I use. When I googled Light Mountain henna, I found out that Walmart carries it, even though I buy mine from Mother’s Market.

Pastel Pink hair color is apparently still popular, whether you prefer a solid pastel pink color or tiger-eye shades of pastel pink. Frankly, I think pink hair is out because I remember that teenagers were into such colors back in 2015.

In this photograph, Brittany is wearing a neon pink wig for her Halloween costume. Actually, I still see some young people with neon-colored hair at the malls, but they are not making a fashion statement. I think it is more of a political statement.

Cool brown hair color doesn’t have any red undertones. It tends to be a dark brown shade, which appears black but it isn’t that dark.
