Something about the summer always has me testing the waters with fun and bold styles I can rock to match the excitement of summer. One of the ways you can try out something new this summer is to take a major step and color your hair — or rock a protective styles that has colors if you’re not ready to dye your hair just yet. If you’re looking to dye your hair permanently or semi-permanently, consult with your stylist first to check and see if your hair is healthy enough for color treatment. If not, no worries! We’ll also share some protective styles you can rock, without having the deal with the price and upkeep of coloring your natural hair.
Here’s Naturally Curly’s top picks for the hottest hair colors for the naturalista:

One of the internet’s most popular curlistas, Whitney White a.k.a. Naptural85, always has twistouts and wash-n-gos that are a natural girl’s dream — she’s true #curlgoals. But Whitney took her curls a step further recently, using Hair Paint Wax, a temporary water based hair coloring solution. Hair Paint Wax is a great option if you don’t want to bleach your hair, or you want to try out a color for fully committing to it.
