It’s official: The blazing sun is this season’s muse for hair color. From summer-ready peach and apricot shades to electric red-hot hues, warm tones are slated to be the leading trend of the season. Check out the top shades we’re crushing on at the moment.

PEACH

Nothing says summer more than a sweet peachy hue. Arguably this season’s “millennial pink,” a peachy pastel shade looks fresh, flirty and playful against a variety of skin tones.

Want to take the fruit trend up a notch? This electric apricot hue is guaranteed to turn heads. Though it may be bold, the seamless blend from blonde to apricot keeps the shade wearable for everyday.

Want to show off your girly side? This scrumptious-looking hue walks the line between red and pink and is ultra-flattering against a skin-kissed complexion. For best results, tell your stylist if you want more red or pink tones to achieve your desired shade.

Electric Copper

This intoxicating shade looks bold, chic and sexy thanks to a blend of red, copper and brown hues. Try a subtle copper balayage for an understated look, or, opt for all-over color to make a statement.

Bright Crimson

Ready to make a major power move? Go for a bright crimson hue. Though sporting an all-over red shade will require frequent touch-ups—the end result is definitely worth it.
