**Summer Hair Colour Trends 2025**
1. **Honey Blonde**

When I spotted Bella Hadid sporting honey blonde at the Cannes Film Festival, I instantly knew it would become a standout hair trend for summer 2025. If Bella is swapping her signature brunette for this shade, there's a notable shift unfolding this season, inspiring even me, a fellow brunette, to contemplate a change. This color features rich, warm blonde tones with glossy honey highlights. It’s a perfect choice for those wanting to explore blonde without going too bright. Existing blondes can try honey-toned lowlights or balayage to introduce darker blonde tones, while lighter brunettes may opt for golden hair glosses to infuse a hint of gold into their lengths.

2. **Limoncello Blonde**
Platinum blonde is getting a summer 2025 refresh with lemony platinum tones, says Tom Smith, hairstylist at Billi Currie and hair trend forecaster. Although platinum blonde might seem "outdated," the addition of limoncello gives it a fresh twist for 2025. "Radiant and gleaming with a sorbet-like lemon tone, this color is ideal for summer and perfect for those who can never be too blonde," Smith explains. "It's most suitable for those with naturally lighter hair unless a bolder look is desired—darker roots may require more maintenance or can be styled to make a statement," he says, so keep that in mind if you prefer low-maintenance options.

- **Redken:** Acidic Bonding Concentrate Shampoo, Conditioner, and Leave-In Treatment
Platinum blonde requires good care to minimize breakage; look for bond-restoring products like this Redken set to keep your blonde healthy.

- **Olaplex:** No.4p Blonde Hair Hydrating and Brightening Purple Toning Shampoo

3. **Muted Auburn**
After seeing red and copper tones dominate the last few summers, 2025 will bring more muted auburn shades. "I anticipated that muted auburn shades would gain popularity this year due to a renewed interest in copper hair, combined with a desire for softer, more natural versions while avoiding intense orange tones," says Smith. "This earthy, copper auburn complements a wide range of skin tones and helps hair appear healthier while allowing the wearer to stand out."
Smith highlights that the warm undertones of muted auburn suit most skin tones. However, red tones tend to fade quickly, so stock up on color-depositing masks and glosses to keep your auburn vibrant and lustrous.
