Bright sun showering all its rays on me while I am lying on the sands of the beach and sipping coconut water. This wish comes to my mind first as summer approaches. At that time, instead of covering my hair with a hat, I would love to let them shine more under the sun. And, to see more envious eyes, I couldnโt go wrong with my hair color. For inspo, I started looking for summer hair color ideas. Summer hair colors are different from winter hues. My in-depth research on this topic has made me pick several colors, which I would love to share with you.
