Tracey Cunningham’s Spring/Summer Color Trends For Blondes, Brunettes & Redheads

Spring/Summer has officially begun with the release of Tracey Cunningham’s Color Predictions for the season.  It doesn’t matter of you’re a redhead, blond or brunette there is something for everyone.

The weather is warming up and most of us will want to either make a dramatic change with our existing hair color or make a subtle difference by adding highlights. The most popular shades being golden brunette as seen on Minka Kelly, vibrant red on Bryce Dallas Howard or platinum blonde on Kate Bosworth.

The Trends:

Spring/Summer 2012 Trend #1: Brunettes
“My clients are still loving Redken’s Illumination technique – darker roots with lighter ends.  Brunettes continue to lighten up into the warmer months whether they go a little lighter on the ends or for their overall color.  So many of my clients bring in photos of Minka Kelly for their hair inspiration.  She has such a pretty warm golden brown color that looks fantastic with her complexion. As the weather warms up, even brunettes like to brighten up their color for summer!” – Tracey Cunningham

Spring/Summer 2012 Trend #2: Redheads
“Bryce Dallas Howard is definitely the most requested color for my redhead clients.  She’s become such an “it girl” since her role in “The Help” and rightfully so!  Her deep red color is definitely going to be a trend for Spring/Summer ’12.  No messing around here – deep, strong and vibrant reds are here to stay!”– Tracey Cunningham

Spring/Summer 2012 Trend #3: Blondes
“Blondes are not just for LA anymore! Whether I take clients to platinum blonde like Kate Bosworth or a darker blonde like Molly Sims, they’re destined to be on trend.  The blonder the better but still keeping the look natural is key.” – Tracey Cunningham

Let’s not forget that it’s Tracey Cunningham we can credit with Emma Stone’s Blonde mane,as well as more of  Hollywood’s gorgeous tresses.
