Bold Roots
This grown-out look is definitely in this year. "With a new decade happening, trends are going back to the 2000s," says Rachel Bodt, NYC-based colorist. You can spot stars like Kristen Stewart and Dua Lipa rocking this effortless look.
One of the perks of this color is it lends you more time in between appointments. That is if you choose a root color that matches your natural hair color. This is a great option for those who want to play it safe and avoid the salon as much as possible while COVID-19 is still a concern.
With this color, you can embrace your inner edgy chic. It looks great when paired with a bold cut. A clean bob or shoulder-length cut textured with some light waves is something to consider.
Wheat Blonde
For all Gossip Girl lovers, now is the time to get the perfect Blake Lively blonde. This medium-toned shade of blonde is ideal for those with warmer skin tones. The color itself is neutral with a warm hint that maintains luster and shine.
If you are looking for a little more dimension, you can add some darker roots and brown pieces throughout the look. Ask your stylist to peruse their hair color organizer for a shade that is perfect for you. When worn with a wave, this look has a beautiful natural edge without too much contrast. For those who prefer to wear their hair straight, a bolder early 2000s look can be achieved. Stylists are saying it is a rebirth of the horrific streaky highlights of the past. It has now been revamped in a much softer manner that is significantly more stylish.
Two-Toned
This look has been popping up everywhere this year and stylists are obsessed! Let everyone know that the ’90s are still alive with the addition of a face-framing technique. This trend has been coined the “E-Girl” look by millennials and gen-z.
Although this look is popular with a blonde highlight, some are getting creative and adding a pop of color. The way it is going, this style has a lot of room for individuals to add their own flair. The key to pulling it off: make sure the two colors you choose go well with each other. Some of the stylists’ favorite color pairings are black with either a platinum blonde highlight, a yellow-blonde highlight, or even a red highlight.
Icy Silver
This color is perfect for those who want to embrace their natural greys. Silver is the new blonde this year. Everyone from Kylie Jenner to Zayn Malik has been turning heads with this cool hue. One thing about this look is you must be patient! In order to achieve a grey color you actually have to lighten the hair past a platinum blonde look. This can take multiple sessions so you must trust your stylist and the process.
We are seeing this color pop up in all shapes and forms. For those who want to ease into the transformation, stylists recommend starting off with a balayage or ombré. If you are on the more timid side, icy tips are the perfect completion to a fresh ombré. The best part about doing your tips is if you don’t like it, you can simply get a trim and poof they’re gone!
Pastels
Lend your favorite stylist an opportunity to peruse their hair color storage rack and mix you up a creative new look. The streets, or more appropriately, homes, have been filled with pastel purple, pink, green, blue, and more this year.
Whether you decide on an allover color application or fun highlights, this color trend is bound to wow your peers. One helpful hint when traveling down pastel street: it is high maintenance. These colors fade easily creating the need for more frequent visits to the salon. However, if you are willing to make room in your schedule, it is worth it.
Jet Black
This simple, yet show-stopping color has a timeless appeal. Black is one of the most tempting of box dyes however the perfect shade still requires a mixture of ingredients from a hair color organizer.
In order to achieve the perfect jet black color, it must almost be blue. Work with a stylist and you can achieve a seamless and glossy tone. The best part is it gives off a luxurious and expensive vibe without costing an arm and a leg.
Rusty Copper
The craze over red this year is very real. A warm copper tone is at the top of the list when it comes to popular reds. For curly-haired girls and guys, we highly recommend this when looking for extra dimension.
This bold revamp of a classic ginger color is perfect for those with warmer complections. When looking to add a little something extra, you can complement this rusty copper with lowlights and highlights for a color explosion. Another hot trend is an ombré; starting with brown at the roots and then transitioning into a rose gold hue, with a bold copper tone in the middle.
Hints of Caramel
For natural brunettes that don’t wish to go too color crazy, we have the style look for you. Add some hints of caramel to your beautiful brown and watch it take off. This pop of color will add out of this world dimension.
Gently work caramel tones through the ends of your hair for a low maintenance natural look. Stylists recommend achieving this look through a combination of balayage and foil work. They recommend focusing on face-framing pieces as well as the ends and a rooted highlight everywhere else. Have your stylist take a look through their hair color organizer to mix you up a perfect shade of caramel.
Strawberry Blonde
This sweet hue adds a pop of color while the lighter tones create a more natural look. This color is lower maintenance that some bolder reds because you can allow it to fade slightly before it starts to look dull. It also looks great with most skin tones while adding a sunny glow to your complexion during the wintertime.
Match this color with various shades of blonde highlights to achieve a multifaceted look as the seasons change. If you are looking to get innovative, consider adding a pop of rose gold for a flawless and flirty style.
Pantone Blue
Last but not least, Pantone blue, the color of the year, has made it to the hair world. This classic blue is beyond beautiful. If you are a fearless fashionista, this one's for you. In order to achieve this color, it may take multiple sessions, depending on how much color is already on your head. With that said, working to achieve this color will not be a disappointment. Give your stylist time to look through their hair color storage rack in order to mix you up this classic color and watch jaws drop when you step out of the salon.
