The Anti-Summer Hair Color That's Trending Now
In case the never-ending heat waves haven't been enough indication, summer is in full swing. And whether you usher in every season with a new hair color or you're simply bored of your current look, it's not too late to get out of your early summer hair rut.
While the humidity and days spent out in the sun typically inspire lighter shades, the complete opposite color is trending this summer. So, if you're looking for an option that's bold but doesn't involve bleach, may we suggest "mocha chocolate?"
As seen on Bella Hadid and coined by the model's colorist Jenna Perry, founder of Jenna Perry Hair Studio in NYC, the glossy, cool-toned deep brunette shade is having a moment.
