Hottest Hair Color Trends for Summer from Nexxus

20090527-sharon-dorram-krause-nexxusSharon Dorram-Krause, Color Director for Nexxus, recently gave me the inside scoop for what is hot in hair color this summer. So what are this summer’s hottest hues for blondes, brunettes and reds?

Summer 2009 is all about low maintenance natural looking hair color. This year’s look focuses less on highlights and more on rich, solid colors that complement your face shape and coloring.

    Blonde: Natural blonde is one of the hottest trends of this summer, golden and butterscotch. You can add rich highlights and lowlights to play with the contrast and shades of color.
    Brunettes: Simple is best this season, natural looking brunettes with subtle highlights for dimensions.
    Redhead: Vibrancy is key; but with warm shades like copper, strawberry, burgundy or auburn.

Nexxus’ new Dualiste product range of new color protection shampoos and conditioners have three distinct formulas created to protect your color AND deliver additional customized benefits such as; Volume, Intense Hydration and Anti-Breakage. Be sure to check it out at www.Nexxus.com

    “Low maintenance” and “natural looking” hair color? Isn’t that an oxymoron? I swear, the more “natural looking” my color, the higher the maintenance (and price!) Oh, well. I must admit, I did go “brighter blonde” this summer — with less low-lights — I really do like it, despite the time and $ to maintain it…(my hair grows so fast, I have to have get a cut every 5 weeks and the roots seriously touched up every 10 weeks — most people can go at least 6 and 12 weeks, respectively).

    i am a brunette but i have never done highlights (poor grad student)- naturally, my hair gets a bit lighter during summer and another way to get homemade highlights, spritz some lemon juice on your hair!

    Anna that’s funny–back when I was in high school that is exactly what I used to do to get highlights!

    Hottest Hair Color trends?
    I can barely afford to snip my split ends!
    I’m working on highlights on my own, all right—
    Brown, touched with silver…in just the right light.

    (Help!)
