True Summer

True 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.

Blue-based rose, misty blue and cool plum balance coolness with a softened finish. Cool grays can hold a wardrobe together without stark black-and-white contrast.

Color directions to discuss

Ash blonde, cool medium brown, soft charcoal brown. 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.
