Do you think if your shining luxurious black locks can sparkle as brightly as summer sunshine? Can dark summer hair colors really withstand the heat and still turn heads at the beach? Let’s see how one can flaunt dark mane this season.
Midnight Shimmering Tresses
Think about dark chocolate cascades with a tinge of mahogany in them that shimmer in the light—this is what sums up dark hair for the summertime. It’s an irresistible look if you are somebody who will be going from working hours to sunbathing on a sandy beach without much hustle.
This style is made for people who have naturally very dark hair but probably won’t suit those who are fair-haired or prefer lighter colors. For medium to olive skin tones, it represents elegance while highlighting natural features due to its richly deep shades.
To maintain these vibrant summer-dark waves, my advice is maintaining color protection routine. A sulphate-free shampoo such as L’Oréal Paris EverPure Moisture Shampoo helps to prevent fading which maintains lustrous locks.
The beauty of this style lies in its many variations. In the morning, you could braid it back and go jogging, or just let it down for an evening event; all show how effortlessly beautiful dark summer hair can be.
Sun-Kissed Brunette Beauty
We witness here harmonious incorporation of sunlit brunette shades into creating a summer aura for black haired persons that is both lively and fragile. The artistry of colour combined with cutting techniques that allow it cascade gracefully down framing your face and enhancing its natural warmth has been masterfully captured.
Dark to caramel skin tones are enhanced by this style, especially when paired with hazel or emerald eyes. However, if you have very pale or cool-toned skin, this warmth might clash rather than complement.
Shielding the sun from your hair keeps its color on point. Before going out, spray Aveda’s Sun Care Protective Hair Veil for UV protection. As such, dark summer hair highlights remain as bright as the sun setting at the beach.
And for some creative spirits? Try various accessories. That bit of an extra oomph can be added to a silk scarf or jeweled clip depending on the expression one wants to give to their non-conventional style of black hair in summer.
Twisted Deep Brunette
The deep tones of this brunette have merged with lighter tips and created kind of fun around dark summer hair. It’s somewhere between jet black harshness and softness reminiscent of evening twilight during summertime.
For people who are brave enough and like experimenting with their look provided they are endowed with a coffee brown colored mane, it may not work well on somebody who is crazy about blonde hues or has curly hair due to the way colors are subtly blended.
The only thing, which allows suchlike appearance to be maintained for longer time is hydration. So that each lock remains supple and glossy incorporate Moroccanoil Intense Hydrating Mask as part of your weekly treatment regimen.
Picture this hairdo with brightly colored lips or maybe bold choice of earrings and you end up with something that’s obviously summer-like but still strikingly unusual.
Subtle Ombré Radiance
This video shows a beautiful representation of dark hair in the summer, using ombré. A deep espresso base flows into caramel highlights to create a chic, sunlit look that is perfect for people who want depth but not the hassle.
With this ombré one can achieve lighter strands without actually altering their entire color if they normally have very dark hair. This may be more high-maintenance for those with very light or cool-toned hair.
The secret of keeping ombré incredible is to invest in an Olaplex No. 5 Bond Maintenance™ Conditioner, which keeps the colors vibrant throughout summer.
Finally, finish this style off with a glossy serum that reflects the sun and gives it a mesmerizing glow which captures hearts and turns heads.
Bold Bangs and Bronde Waves
In other words, it means pairing a classic fringe with bronde’s playful attitude—this is every girl’s dream as regards summer beauty tips for dark hair. While bangs suggest some enigma, warm shades make them bubble over with life characteristic of this time of year.
Oval faces will love how this cut and color softens angular features; however, curly haired women might find bangs difficult to maintain sleekness on a daily basis.
To keep your fringe in pristine condition as well as ensure that your colours stay crisp apply heat protectant spray before styling. The Aveda Damage Remedy™ Daily Hair Repair is great since it provides both protection as well as nourishment for your lovely locks.
For example when you feel like trying something new side-swept or curtain bangs can give you different experience from time-tested summer looks.
Chocolate Ripple Effect
The richness of dark chocolate is alternated with slivers of light just as if it were a ripple on a calm summer pond. This is summer hair at its finest; dark, moving and multidimensional.
For people with natural darker hair this style can be challenging while color fade may also be an issue for those who have already lightened their hair.
To maintain this rich color, deep condition your locks weekly with a nourishing mask. For extra hydration and lustre try the Briogeo Don’t Despair, Repair!™ Deep Conditioning Mask.
Instead, include barrettes or hair pins in your hairstyle to give it some playfulness and sophistication.
Sultry and Sleek
This smooth, sultry style looks absolutely elegant when paired with the lustrous shine of dark hair in the summertime. Silken, poised and subtly glamorous, it epitomizes understated glam which goes along well with minimalist fashion trends of the season.
Women naturally blessed with straight tresses or those willing to go through straightening treatments should embrace this polished appearance. People gifted with curls may find it high maintenance for everyday use though.
The Kerastase Elixir Ultime Oil Serum is a good choice for high quality smoothening serums that keep frizz at bay and enhance the shine of your black locks.
One way to make this soft and fluid style more sophisticated would be to create a sharp middle part down the middle for an evening out.
Beachy Brunette
In this interpretation of dark summer hair, a certain darkness is added to the natural ease of beach waves. It’s casual but nonetheless sharp and the lightness at the ends against a darker root creates a high summer vibe.
This look is most flattering on medium-textured hair; very fine hair may not look as appealing, since it can appear limp in comparison with huge waves.
To maintain that post-beach appearance, use Bumble & Bumble’s Surf Spray – a perfect texturizing spray for your wavy hairstyle. You can get this “I-just-came-back-from-the-beach” effect without any stiffness or crunchiness.
A sun hat or a lightweight bandana will give you that easy breezy beach day style, which could be edged up slightly for boardwalk nights.
Warm Colors and Delicate Layers
This type attracts with its warm tones, as if the sun is shining through it, and must be worn by those women having black tresses of the summer. The soft layers and some gentle highlights create depth which beautifully flatter and frame the face thereby suiting those who have high density hair.
It is a fantastic choice for people with thicker strands as they will get movement without adding weight. However, those that naturally have fine hair may find this look more demanding than others when it comes to achieving a fuller effect.
Caring involves keeping these highlighted ends healthy. Let me suggest using Kerastase Nutritive Masquintense for deep nourishment and protection against summer heat.
Why not play around with hair accessories to give it a touch of summer? A golden clip or scarf can add coolness that’s typical for dark hair in summer.
Big Waves for Dark Hair
This haircut celebrates volume and texture with the waves that give an attractive twist on black summertime hair. It is an opportunity for you to let your natural locks move freely as you enjoy the spirit of freedom that characterizes summer time.
This cut is heaven sent for people who possess thick wavy or curly tresses such as this one since it makes them look lighter moving. But for persons who have got straight thin strands, this might be a bit challenging though nothing too difficult that cannot be solved by good volumizing product.
A volumising mouse like Bumble and Bumble Thickening Full Form Mousse will keep your bounce all day long while lifting roots and giving life to your locks.
In this style, there’s a playful hint at relaxing one’s standards in order to appreciate all possible spontaneous excursions which become possible due to summer dark tones.

You can consider using temporary color treatments like hair chalk or spray when you need some change. Such products can be simply washed out after they are applied thus they may make your black summer hair more vivacious.
Cascading Hair Waves
For a dark hair summer look, embrace the flowing chestnut waves that are easy to style. The soft tones of brown catch the light and create something striking and mature, which is great for any informal outing or formal evening occasion.
This style is good for most people especially those with medium to thick hair. However, if you have thin hair you might need a little more styling to achieve the same fullness and wave.
A color-safe shampoo and conditioner are necessary for maintaining these cascading chestnut waves. I like Redken Color Extend Magnetics range because it enables me to keep my color fresh all summer long while still being mild enough.
These waves can be worn up or down in summer; hence they prove that dark colored hair can always be maintained in pride even in hot weather.
Dimensional Dark Layers
This style reflects the essence of deep rooted hairs during summer via its dimensioned layers which create an impression of motion and life. Meanwhile, contrast between darkness and light gives this option modernity thereby making it worth trying out during summer days.
People with thick strands will find this style particularly flattering as it helps distribute the weight through layering techniques. If your tresses are on the thinner side also, these layers may help create volume from nowhere.
To maintain this look at its best, one should go for regular trims combined with an authentic leave-in conditioner such as It’s a 10 Miracle Leave-In Product which rejuvenates damaged ends thus preventing split ends

If your skin has medium or olive tones, you will especially appreciate how this style brings out the warmness. On very fair skinned individuals these warmer tones might be too much.
Keep up this opulent hue by applying color-enhancing conditioner such as Brilliant Brunette from John Frieda. Moreover, few drops of Moroccan oil at the ends will give extra glossiness required for vibrant locks capturing summer light.
And why not go out wearing a wide brimmed hat over your styled hair? This will help the sun from affecting your hair while keeping you looking fashionable in a simple manner.

Most types of hair are able to pull off this style but it looks the best on people with natural curls or waves. However, ladies with straight strands should add extra curls in order to rock this style gently.

Apart from that delicate pin placed in exact position would make great sense thus transforming such look into something unique during those warm summer evenings.
Classic Waves with a Modern Twist
As for this hairstyle, however, it is a modernized version of the usual waves making it perfect for persons who want to add some contemporary touch to their dark summer hair. Instead of going for the classic waves, opt for this style that has modern spin on them.
Anyone can wear this look but if you have a lot of volume already, it will be extra-flattering. Women with thin strands may need to include a volumizing product as part of their routine in order to achieve such effects.
For such curls, I recommend using Bumble and Bumble Curl Defining Cream which can help define and maintain its shape beautifully as well as frizz free.
These are classic summer festival or outdoor concert waves with a twist – throw in some temporary color like soft purple or blue.

While any bob will make heads turn, this one does it with dark shades and gentle lines that are totally at one with this summer’s dark hair themes. It is chic, fresh and trendy.
It is a great style for straight or slightly wavy hair as it shows off the cut’s clean edges. However, women with curly hair should be prepared for daily maintenance to maintain the curls’ sleek texture.
I recommend using a lightweight oil like Moroccanoil Treatment Light to keep this bob shiny and frizz-free especially during summer weather.
