Soft Summer

Soft Summer hair color

Think of temperature and depth before picking a dye name. Hair surrounds the face, so a large change can alter your preferred combinations.

Dusty rose, blue-gray and muted pine share a quiet, cool cast. Layer neighboring depths so one very bright piece does not steal all the attention.

Color directions to discuss

Mushroom blonde, ash brown, cool soft chestnut. These chips illustrate color direction, not dye formulas.

A practical rule

Use natural depth as a starting point. Bring physical swatches to a qualified colorist and follow their product and patch-test instructions.

For this softer palette, try colors of a similar depth together before adding a strong contrast.

Try it with what you own

Choose one item from your wardrobe or makeup kit. Compare it with a chip, then look at the actual item in neutral daylight. Keep notes about combinations you enjoy.
