Top 5 trendy hair shades for summer 2025: peach, cocoa and lemon blond

This summer's trend is all about soft shades, a play of halftones and accents that refresh and accentuate facial features. No drastic changes, but a wow effect. It's the perfect time to freshen up a look and add sunshine to your hairstyle, according to Elle's contributors.

🍑 Burnt Peach

A juicy hybrid of copper, pink and blonde - a colour that feels like it's made for sunshine. It's softer than red and more playful than classic blonde. Alternatively, strawberry or spicy copper is a slightly brighter colour, but with depth rather than a solid tone.

💡 Perfect against a tan and emphasises green eyes.

🍫 Cool Cocoa

Chocolate shades are back in fashion, but now with a cool undertone. Add caramel or "butterscotch" strands near the face and you'll get movement and radiance even in dark hair. This kind of colour makes your skin look more radiant and your hair look more voluminous.

💡 It looks especially good on natural brunettes who lack volume and contrast.

🍋 Lemon Platinum

For those who want to be ultra blonde, a lemon-sorbet glow. This fresh shade suits those who already have a lightened base. It's noticeable, cool, radiant - and looks perfect in the summer sun.

💡 Suitable for the bold and those who are ready for regular maintenance.

✨ Halo Lights

Gently lighten the area around the face and top of the head - while maintaining natural colour at the roots. This technique gives volume and freshness, as if you've just returned from holiday. Particularly good on blondes, but also suitable for brunettes.

💡 Minimal effort - maximum radiance. Suitable even for those who don't normally colour their hair.

🌈 Rainbow glow

Summer is a time for experimentation. Pastel pink, lilac and peach shades on blonde hair or bright accents on individual strands for brunettes - why not? The main thing is not to overdo it and turn to professionals.

💡 The perfect way to add colour to your look without a complete makeover.
