We’ve told you all about the trendy hairstyles and haircuts for the new year, but sometimes a new do won’t be enough to give your look a fresh new spin. Looking for something a little edgier? Here are the hair color trends for Spring/Summer 2014 which will give you a whole new look!
Hair color trend for Spring/Summer 2014 #5: Sombré
The ombré technique was immensely popular last year, giving your hair a nice layered look with two strikingly different colors. However, this year the overall theme is: “look natural”, which is why if you’re looking for a new way of layering your hair by coloring it, you should definitely check out the sombré technique. This new trend makes your hair gradate from a darker shade to lighter hues in a very organic manner, giving it a natural look that you’ll love.
If you still prefer the bold and eye-catching ombré technique, then you can try new highlighting shades in contrasting and bright colors: combinations of brown and red, or golden are black are incredibly popular for this season.
Hair color trend for Spring/Summer 2014 #4: Pastels
Pastels are the main shades for clothes and accessories this Spring/Summer season, and they’ve been quite popular for bold hair colors during the latest years. The trend continued at the runways, with brighter shades and unusual combinations: pink, radiant orchid, blue and rainbow combinations are amongst the most popular shades, giving your hair a futuristic and unique look.
Pastel shades need high maintenance, which can make them difficult to wear. For an alternative, use them to highlight parts of your hair instead of all of it.
Hair color trend for Spring/Summer 2014 #3: Mid-browns
Brunettes are enjoying a particularly popular season, with chocolate, mahogany and caramel as some of the favorite hues for Spring/Summer 2014. The trend for brown hair favors natural-looking shades in mid-tones. Forget about too dark or too light hues! It’s all about the medium browns and just a touch of brighter undertones.
If you want something a little more eye-catching, another popular trends for brunettes are iced browns with a few light highlights.

Ready to try something more unique? Then take a look at the rose-gold trend. This shade has made a big comeback in the fashion world, but now it’s a valid hair color to try on its own: combine red and gold and see it shine!
Hair color trend for Spring/Summer 2014 #1: Platinum
