hair colour trends for 2012

As we count down to summer, we decided to ask one of Australia’s most celebrated hair stylists, Tracey Hughes from Mieka Hairdressing, what are the must-have shades to rock hair next season.

When it comes to colour, Tracey advises to take into account your skin tone and eye colour when determining what shades suit you the best.

Blonde
Blonde remains a popular trend with a blurring from darker roots out to sun-kissed lighter ends, or a bright shine with an all over platinum blonde. Highlights of creamy vanilla blondes with shades of honey and cinnamon provide softer, natural options. Celebrity blondes we love include Sarah Jessica Parker, Khloe Kardashian and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. We’re also embracing the platinum blonde tresses of Gwen Stefani, Ashlee Simpson, Christina Aguilera, Agnes Deyn and Lady Gaga.

Brunette
Brunettes go cool with hints of violets and blues or a more natural peak-a-boo of toffees and caramels. Alexa Chung, Nicole Scherzinger and Kim Kardashian are showing us how to wear the darker version of the summer brunette, while Cheryl Cole, Jessica Alba and Jennifer Lopez are indulging in caramels.

Redhead
Redheads are bright, bright and brighter this new season. Think Christina Hendricks, Amy Adams and Emma Stone for variations on the approach to red for summer.

Rainbow styling
Pastel shades of pink, lilac and teal are fresh, modern and an interesting change from the regular hair colours and look great as your new fashion statement.

However, the biggest trend in colour is definitely pink, whether it’s in your hair or just in your wardrobe. We’re taking inspiration from Cher Lloyd (UK X-Factor finalist) Katy Perry, Sienna Miller, Nicki Minaj and Ruby Rose.
