Summer hair colors vary year to year, but blonde hair never goes out of style, so learn how to refresh your natural blonde hair color or where to begin your first foray into the light side. Here's how Kérastase Blond Absolu Range can help you achieve that perfect summer blonde look!


Balayage or Highlights?


Highlights are the best way to go blonde gradually. This is a great option for less damage but requires more time (and patience) to make the change.

Balayage, of course, is here to stay. It’s the perfect summer blonde hair color and it’s the low-commitment way to go blonde since the seamless strands grow out without a harsh root line. In fact balayage can even look better with time.

For those who want a more all-over blonde hair color for summer, there are a few different looks that are trending right now. Of course, it’s never a good idea to blindly follow the trends so work with your hair colorist to find the blonde hair color that suits your eye color, skin tone and lifestyle - some blonde hair requires a lot of upkeep!

Surfer Hanalei has washed-out mermaid locks that keep her connected to the ocean. "To me, it has such beauty and rawness and just...magic."



Sandy blonde hair is an expensive-looking way to go blonde. Not too ashy or too brassy, this sand-hued hair color is the perfect combination of warm sandy and cool beige tones that can look incredibly beautiful. Alternatively, if you want to go slightly cooler mushroom blonde hair, which has hints of brunette and grey running through it, also looks stunning. Want to go all out? A blanket of pure ice blonde hair is always in style, but it’s a high maintenance color to try.
