We all know that everyone likes to have their luscious locks a little lighter for the summer. However, the current trend is actually “Bronde.” What is Bronde, you ask? It’s the amazing middle ground in between blonde and brown. Why not try a subtle combo like Bronde to enhance your natural beauty?

Summer should be Care Free and when it comes to the hair world, there is a perfect solution for the Ultimate Traveler. Meet the Ombre’! From subtle to drastic, this versatile look allows you to have less maintenance this season. The best part about it is that it looks great on long or short hair and in every hue.

Feeling on fire this season? Why not join the copper red family? Bust out those summer shades – orange hues are definitely here to stay. The perfect combination of reds and copper tones will brighten your look all around.

Summer dresses and bright colors are great… but why not add pastels to your look too? A simple hairstyle can be switched instantly with some temporary changes. Have your Stylist strategically bayalyage your favorite hue! From rose gold to strawberry, this range of color is in high demand this season. They allow you to tap into warm tones without the crazy fade of red. This is definitely my personal favorite for the season.

Time to go behind the scenes at the Kim Vo Salon in Beverly Hills

Summer hairstyles should be a direct reflection of the laidback vibe that summer gives us all. With the right cut, a tousled look will have you at ease from day well into the evening. If your hair has a natural wave, luck is on your side. Spray in some sea salt spray or curling cream and let your hair air-dry. At night, for a more drastic look, simply wrap your beachy waves around a curling iron, taking one-inch sections at a time. Don’t forget to use your favorite hair spray and brush out your curls slightly after your hair has cooled down.

Advice from Beverly Hills Stylist Ramsay Mclean

“The current trend this summer is effortless. Keeping the hair above the shoulders with long layers and always having some texture or bounce to the hair. A messy fishtail braid is an easy way to keep your look on trend and also keeping it off the face. I typically choose a side to angel it. I also create many up do styles by making looser areas and wrapping it up in a bun.”

The look created for me that is pictured below, was collaborated by Celebrity stylist Kim Vo, Stylist Ramsay Mclean, and Makeup Artist Mara Rouse. Photos were taken by Cory Graves. The look given to me is very versatile and can look great smooth and straight or with curls and a beachy texture. It’s lightweight for summer with long layers and facial framing to accent the color.
