5 Best Hair Colors for Summer 2009

Many women, and a few men, will start dying their hair for the upcoming summer months. Time is starting to run out, so it is about time to start picking out a flattering shade. There are a number of good shades for the summer, but I will share the top five.

First, there is a light auburn color. This classic shade of red is not too terribly dark or brassy, so it suits more skin tones and eyebrows than a regular auburn color. Unfortunately, shades of red do not work for everyone, so it is a very good thing that there are other colors available. Garnier Fructis has the appropriate products for this hair color.

There is also the champagne blond shade. It is a shade of blond for blonds that do not want to be too blond. Perhaps it could be classified as a very mild blond, but it works well for most complexions and eyebrow colors, and that is hard to come by in a shade of blond. Loreal Paris Superior Preference has a lovely shade of champagne blond. For more information, please visit here.

Light chocolate shades of brunette can be appropriate for summer, but many women find those colors to be boring. To spice up the shade, consider getting highlights in either red or blond depending on the shade and intensity of the light chocolate. Loreal Paris Superior Preference also has several nice shades of medium brown. For more information, please visit here.

For the potential blond that really wants to go blond this summer, try shades like Chardonnay or Camomile. These are brighter shades of blond than champagne, so these shades are only for going blond with commitment. Garnier Nutrisse Cream provides very good color-changing products for blond hair. For more information, please visit here.

For ladies wanting a bolder color this summer, pomegranate or sangria might be good options. These colors are shades of red that are a bit on the wild side without being too "punk" for professionalism, but the wild side can be very appropriate for summertime. Perhaps the colors are best described as unconventional. For more information on these shades, please visit here.

Be sure to find the perfect shade soon. Summer is getting closer and closer, so time is running out. Many good products can be found to color hair, but the products listed above have been proven time and time again. Don't wait too long, or they won't be on the shelves!
