Riccardo Maggiore Salon's Hot Hairstyles & Color Trends for Summer 2015

New York, NY, April 24, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Hair Trends for Summer 2015 are as hot as the rising temperatures. From the versatile Long Bob to soft pastel hues and creative hand-painted and subtle blended highlights that mimic sun-kissed tones, the best way to welcome a new season is with one of these hot trendy hair styles and colors.

Bobs are hot this summer. Long bobs being the most requested. Its popularity is due to its versatility. It can be worn with or without bangs; toussled and sexy, curly and fun, or straight and sophisticated. With a long bob, the hair can still be pulled back into a ponytail when going for a run or a tan on the beach.

If you prefer long hair, always perfect for the summer options are braids, buns, and ponytails. One of the trendiest styles for the summer is a low bun or ponytail tied on the nape of the neck. It can be worn sleeked back or pushing up on the hair to give it some volume on top or with some loose strands around the face. Fun braids of all sorts will be popular this summer. You can do it yourself or go in to a salon and have a braid done professionally. There are no rules when it comes to how neat or messy your braid looks.

Pastel Colored Hair is on trend for glamorous, yet playful and fun feminine looks. Wella’s Instamatic line is wonderful. If you’re a little shy about color there is another beautiful way to sport the hottest trend, Pastel colored highlights. It doesn’t have to be avant-garde, all it takes is a little pop of color to accent your features. Peek-a-Boo color can be worn as highlights or color underneath the hair. It shows a hint of sass when you move.

Another effortless beautiful look this summer is Babylights. If you would like to take a more natural route, this trend is for you. They are blended subtly to mimic the sun-kissed highlight your hair took on as a child. They lighten your face which naturally softens your look. Babylights are popular among both beauty buffs and Hollywood starlets for their ability to enhance your own natural hue without veering too far off their natural hair tone.

One more cool technique on trend for hot summer color is Freelights. Instead of the traditional foils and weaving techniques this method strategically hand paints color on to the hair to accentuate the cut, add dimension and give a very natural and organic, sexy look.

Top Summer Tips for Protecting Your Hair

Before hitting the pool or beach make sure to protect your hair by wetting your hair with natural water. Make sure you use a wide tooth comb or wet brush when brushing wet hair to protect it from breakage. Then add a moisturizing texturizer or gel to your hair before you go. Use products that have sunscreen. You can then sleek it back, braid it or put it in a bun or ponytail.

If your hair is short you can sleek it back. Use some pins strategically. For medium length hair you can either sleek your hair back or put it in a braid, bun or ponytail.
