Sun-Kissed & Effortless: The Hottest Summer 2025 Hair Trend You’ll Love

As the temperatures rise, so do the trends—and 2025 is bringing a fresh take on summer hair that’s all about effortless, sun-kissed beauty. This season, we’re seeing a shift toward lived-in, beachy color, low-maintenance texture, and healthy, touchable hair that looks like you just stepped off a European getaway. At Charles Ifergan Salon, we’re here to bring your dream summer hair to life with expert coloring, cutting, and styling techniques designed to keep your locks looking radiant all season long.

The Trend: Lived-In, Sunkissed Bronde

If you’ve ever wanted that natural, sun-lightened effect that looks like you’ve spent weeks basking on the beach, this is your time. Sunkissed Bronde—a seamless blend of blonde and brunette tones—is the ultimate go-to for summer 2025. This effortlessly chic color mimics the way the sun naturally lightens strands, with soft ribbons of caramel, honey, and golden hues that add dimension without looking overly processed.

Why It’s Trending

This color trend is all about longevity and minimal upkeep, making it perfect for the season when we want to spend less time at the salon and more time enjoying rooftop dinners, poolside lounging, and summer travels. The beauty of Sunkissed Bronde is that it grows out gracefully, meaning fewer touch-ups and more time looking effortlessly put together.

Who It’s For

Sunkissed Bronde works for a variety of skin tones and hair textures:

  • Fair to Medium Skin Tones: Opt for a balance of golden beige and honey tones to warm up your complexion.
  • Olive to Deep Skin Tones: Go for deeper caramel and rich golden hues to enhance your natural glow.

Our expert colorists at Charles Ifergan Salon customize every shade to perfectly suit your features, ensuring your summer hair color looks sun-kissed, never brassy.

The Cut: Effortless Layers & Soft Movement

To complement this beachy, glowing hair color, cuts are leaning into movement and softness. Think:

  • Face-framing layers to add dimension and highlight your features.
  • Mid-length “cool girl” waves that feel airy, fresh, and modern.
  • Choppy, undone bobs for an effortlessly chic, Parisian-inspired vibe.

Our stylists specialize in tailoring cuts to your lifestyle—whether you want a sleek, polished finish or something a little more undone and tousled, we make sure your summer style works for you.

The Styling: Natural Texture & Healthy Shine

Forget high-maintenance styling—2025 is all about embracing natural waves, bends, and soft volume with minimal effort. Achieving the look is simple:

  • Air-dry with a lightweight curl-enhancing cream for a soft, natural wave.
  • Use a large-barrel curling iron to add a few effortless bends for a “model-off-duty” look.
  • Finish with a shine-enhancing mist to give your hair that “just stepped off the beach” glow.

Want to keep your hair looking and feeling amazing all summer long? At Charles Ifergan Salon, we offer custom gloss treatments, hydrating masks, and professional styling products to keep your color fresh and your strands protected from sun, salt, and chlorine.
