AURA’s Summer 2021 Fantasy Pigments Trend Guide
Pigments for any hair color.
Summer is the perfect time to have fun with your hair and explore different temporary pigment possibilities—and there’s no better time to show off your post-quarantine look. So whether you’re grabbing beachside brunch or cruising down the coast for a weekend getaway, we’ve hand-picked a few of our temporary Fantasy pigments to give you a fresh, summery look, wherever you go.
Keep in mind, our pigments are not intended to lighten hair or cover grays.
Santorini Blue
Pigment inspiration and who it’s for.
Inspired by the crystal blue waters of Santorini, Greece, this shade spells summer vacation. If you have pre-lightened or light blonde hair, this temporary pigment offers a rich color transformation. For our darker blondes, however, the results will be slightly more subtle. To achieve the best results with AURA’s Santorini Blue Fantasy pigment, we recommend selecting a bold strength as you add it to your personalized Masque.
How to transform and maintain.
Santorini Blue shines on a variety of cool to warm skin tones alike! Apply this rich temporary pigment to clean, dry or towel-dried hair and let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes. After you rinse, give yourself a light shampoo at your roots if you’d like. For an instant color transformation, use your pigmented Masque once or twice a week and maintain it with your pigmented Conditioner.
AURA Insight: To prevent stains, grab a dark towel to dry your hair after your shower.
Kyoto Purple
Pigment inspiration and who it’s for.
Drawing inspiration from the Japanese Wisteria Blossom, Kyoto Purple adds an enchanting violet tone to medium and dark brunette hair colors. Its soft yet bright touch of color pairs well with warm medium to dark skin tones, as it brings dimension to your brunette shade. Best of all? This summer-ready shade is at its best when it shimmers in the sunlight.
How to transform and maintain.
To achieve this stunning color transformation, we recommend applying your personalized pigmented Masque in Kyoto Purple once or twice a week on clean, dry, or towel-dried hair for 10 to 15 minutes. If your roots feel heavy after you rinse, give yourself a light shampoo at the roots. For an instant color transformation, use your pigmented Masque once or twice a week. Then, maintain it with your pigmented Conditioner (in the same Kyoto Purple tone) a few times a week. These rich violet tones will be the envy of brunettes all season long.
AURA Insight: No need to condition after you color—simply style as normal and you’re good to go!

Calling all pre-lightened and light blondes alike, AURA’s Miami Pink Fantasy shade complements cool, fair complexions.

This temporary pigment is a delicious blend of pink and gold tones, perfect for a bold summer look—party on Ocean Drive, here we come!
