Embracing Gray
Over the past year we’ve seen a lot of women embracing a more natural look, and Burns says many of her clients have made the decision to let their grays grow in. With salons being closed for months during lockdown, this gave people time to see the possibilities of embracing their natural highlights: Gray hair. This can be a huge change for people, and while the end result is very empowering, it can be a process to blend the new growth of salt-and-pepper with old-colored ends if you’re not willing to chop it off. If you want to go this route, to be prepared to work closely with your stylist and to expect this to be a bit involved.
Mahogany Glow
Tinges of red from peach to full-on ginger were trending hard for 2020, and these shades aren’t going anywhere this year. Mahogany Glow is the latest iteration of the trend, and it’s perfectly suited for dark hair. These red-brown accents reflect light beautifully on rich brunette locks. The tones are especially flattering if you have textured hair with a dark natural base color. For a similar look, he says, ask your colorist for mahogany pigments to be mixed into your usual brunette color.
Sand Tropez
Multitone blonde is shaping up to be a huge trend this year, like this pretty sand shade on Kylie Jenner. Neither ash nor gold, it’s a beautiful blend of both. Mixing highlights and midlights creates this multidimensional shade of warm sandy and cool beige tones that are perfect for someone who wants to keep a beach vibe year-round.
