Hazelnut Brunette
For an update on brown, Burns looked to nature again. This time she found inspiration in hazelnuts. This brunette is a tone-on-tone brown with glimpses of golden, light browns to depths of a deeper ashy brown, low maintenance with high impact. For a similar look, she recommends bringing plenty of photos to your hair stylist, so they can understand what tones you’re looking for.
Flower Child Blonde
This new year is ushering in effortless-looking blondes that can be worn all year long. Case in point, this rooted retro-blonde. Keep your roots natural ,and fade baby blonde shades into your hair. And ask your colorist for a natural blonde color melt that you can touch up twice a year. Keep in mind that the look will be way more low-maintenance if you’re a natural blonde, as darker hair will require more frequent upkeep.
Copper Sunset
A lot of inspiration in nature, especially this year during her sunset walks. I really observed the variety of colors filling the sky. We’ve seen pastels going strong for the past few years, but I think we’ll start to see more bold colors submerging like this copper sunset shade. A great way to ease into it is with a red gloss or tint over your usual base color.
Silver Champagne
Turns out, you can have the best of both worlds, as exemplified by this cool blonde with warm accents. This is gorgeous on ash blondes who want a fresh tonal option that doesn’t cross over into gold. Have your colorist use translucent pearl and silvery toners on your blonde.
Amethyst
If you’re looking for a fun shade, it’s time to think beyond baby pink. “Amethyst is a fun hair color that balances strength with delicacy,” says Tardo, who particularly likes this shade on dark complexions. “It’s bold yet still feels soft. This orchid tone shows a warmer side of violet.” If it’s temping you, just remember you’ll have to completely bleach your hair before going for a warm pastel violet.
