The Shades of Summer

Feat. A New Code of Colour

The days are longer, the nights warmer, and everyone is taking adventures with their style—that’s what summer is all about. And when it comes to crafting a personalised hairstyle this summer, your hair colour can make all the difference.

The great thing about changing up your shade is that it doesn’t require you to take a big leap when it comes to your length or go-to cut. You can easily try on a new shade and make a bold statement just by trying on a new shade this summer. With a brand new range of 91 high-performing shades KEVIN.MURPHY+CODE can deliver everything from vibrant copper to cool brunettes and up to 100% grey coverage to ensure you stand out this season.

You probably haven’t seen these on a trend roundup in a while, but this shape is the ideal cut to pair with perfectly undone beach waves or effortless balayage—both of which are highly coveted this season. The reason why this shape is so loved is because it works on a variety of hair types and textures. It allows you to have long lengths without sacrificing movement and with the right texturising techniques can also help you enhance volume. On the easier side to style whether blow-drying or air-drying, this look also looks gorgeous whether wearing it straight, wavy or curly. To add a bit of effortless movement, spritz DOO.OVER throughout the mids and ends to give your hair some texture and volume.

Copper is one of those shades that usually makes an appearance around fall, but this tone is hitting the ground running in 2025, and for good reason. As an alternative to bright blonde this season, it’s a gorgeous tone that can look fabulous on both warm and cool skin tones. Giving off a vibrant result that can level up your go-to haircut with ease. And when vibrant hair colour is on the horizon, CODE ensures you reach your colour’s full potential with KM.LAMELLAR technology to ensure precise, consistent and effective results.

Throughout each and every season—especially during the summer—there will always be a blonde trend that captures our hearts. Heading into the 2025 season, we love to see blondes paired with a lived-in look to ease maintenance and improve health. And because healthy-looking blondes are on the rise, pairing your shade with CODE is an easy choice. With 100% colour intensity¹, 150% more colour evenness² and more shine³ and repair⁴, this smart permanent hair colour is a must-have.

As we lean toward rich, dimensional tones, classic cool brunette shades will be making an appearance. Not only is this a great option for anyone looking for a healthy, vibrant finish, but with most clients falling under the brunette category, it allows you to enhance their natural potential. Plus with up to 100% grey coverage and 91 high-performing shades to pick from, CODE makes it easy to reach your brunette goals.

Beautiful hair colour this season comes down to the right choices in the salon and following with the must-have hair care at home. For best results, no matter the shade, include EVERLASTING.COLOUR TREATMENT, WASH, RINSE and LEAVE-IN into your daily care to elongate the life of your hair colour while also improving strength through protection and nourishment from the inside out.
