Between weekends at the beach, music festivals, and casual poolside parties, summer is one of our favorite seasons to experiment with our beauty looks. Looking to the runway at Givenchy Fall 2013 and model-of-the-moment Chloe Nørgaard for inspiration, we visited Josue Perez at the Serge Normant Salon at John Frieda, where we found four easy ways to give your mane a temporary rainbow makeover for summer.

Colored Hair Gel

This gel is opaque, so it works well on dark hair. Start by creating some neon streaks with the gel using your hands, raking them through your hair.

Colored Hair Gel

Pull your hair back into a ponytail — the messier, the better.

Colored Hair Gel

Continue streaking your hair by coating small sections throughout the ponytail with gel. To finish the look, wrap a heavily-colored strand of hair around the elastic.

Colored Hair Gel

If you prefer a messy bun to a ponytail, twist the hair around into a voluminous bun and secure with bobby pins.

Hair Chalk

Section off hair and start chalking! Color some strands starting from the top and others just at the bottom. Layer on the chalk for a more striking look, or simply do one pass for a hint of color.

Neon Extensions

Start by pulling your hair into a high ponytail at the top of the head.

Neon Extensions

Place one neon extension on one side of the elastic and one on the other. Clip them in right next to the ponytail so when you twist it into a topknot, the extensions mix in seamlessly.

Neon Extensions

Tease the extensions and the ponytail together and use hairspray to add some texture.

Neon Extensions

Twist into a messy bun. You can braid the extensions in to get the neon pink strands more intertwined with the rest of the hair. Once you're finished, secure the bun with bobby pins.
