This summer, it is all about exploration and experimentation when hair color is concerned. Whether you want to dip your toes in and test with a few highlights here and there or you want to wild out with Starburst-inspired colors, here is a round-up of our top five hair colors you must try.

<strong>Perfectly Platinum</strong>

Platinum isn‘t just for hip hop royalty anymore. While stars like Eve, Mary J. Blige, and Lil’Kim flaunted their blonder-than-blonde hairdos, it is now the go-to color for those who aren’t the least bit bashful. Be cautious if you decide to go this route and bleach her hair. Trust us; you’ll want to leave it to the professionals, use a quality leave-in conditioner, and reduce the use of heating tools to minimize damage.

<strong>Moody Blues</strong>

Once upon a time, shades of purple and blue were banished until Halloween when people dressed like mythical creatures, mermaids, and witches. That is no longer the case. Case in point: if Demi, Nicki, and Katy can rock it, so can we. Whether you opt for vibrant or muted hues, warm or cool tones, and dark to light fade or vice versa effect, there are endless options when it comes to styling blue hair. Remember, summer is the perfect time to have fun. What better way to show this that with a seriously cool blue shade?

<strong>50 Shades of Gray</strong>

When it comes to lighter hues, blondes aren’t the only ones having fun. Call them risk takers, but we couldn’t agree more: gray has never looked sexier, especially due to the various techniques that provide that extra oomph! Bygone are the days where the first hint of gray causes a mad sprint to your stylist. Gray is glamorous and versatile, blending easily with other shades. If you are not fully committed to having your hair dyed, consider using a temporary hair color spray.

</strong>

Red is having one hell of a year. With passion red dominating the spring/summer 2017 runway shows, shades of red is also being highly requested in salons across America. We call it the Janet Jackson-Rihanna-Tyra effect. No matter the color— ginger, auburn, ruby or garnet, the color beautifully radiates in sunlight. For a more subtle, but still gorgeous effect, lighten up darker shades of brown and blacks by highlighting with chestnut tones.

</strong>

Making an initial splash in 2015 as a cool-girl trend, purple made a triumphant return this summer. While the delicate hues of pastel lilac have made its way onto the scene, many have surpassed the pretty and pale color for dramatic hair in shades that range from bright and bold plum to rich eggplant. Popular styles include dip-dye gradient ombre and two-tone blends. No matter how you decide to rock it, purple is definitely a color that shows your propensity for bold and dramatic.
