BeautyTrends: Lighter Hair for the Summer

Lighter hair and warm weather go hand-in-hand. If you’re considering hopping on this trend and lightening up for the summer months, here are a few tips for beautiful andhealthy results.
Pick a natural hue. It’s best to go with a color 2 or 3 shades lighter than your natural hair color. Keep in mind that the lighter you go, the more noticeable your roots will be. Make sure you have the time and money to invest in the upkeep.
Don’t DIY! Find a colorist who can educate you on what products will maintain healthy hair and preserve your new color. You may even need more than one session to get your hair to your desired shade.
Test the water with highlights, they require less maintenance and are easier on hair. Add more and more until you have an almost completely lightened head of hair. 
Take hair care seriously! Use masks and oils to keep your hair hydrated. Lastly, don’t get lost on Google— find a shade for YOU, not just the one your favorite celebrity is rocking!
