5 New Hair Colors You’ll Love in 2017
Shadow Root
Shadow root is the new ombre. It’s a grown out look that gives you a full head of hair, but with highlights (or lowlights) on just the bottom half. The shadow root is low maintenance and looks good on all hair colors. You can do it yourself at home, in just minutes!
Brunette Blonde
Brunette Blonde is a vibrant, dark brown base color with blonde highlights. This look can be achieved using two to three different shades of hair color, depending on how much contrast you want.
Brunette Blonde is a great way to add subtle dimension and highlights without going overboard. To maintain this color at home, use a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner (like the new L’Oréal Paris Excellence Creme Luminous Shampoo & Conditioner) in cool water. Avoid using towel drying as much as possible because it will fade your color faster than air drying or blow drying with product on the hair.
In terms of cost and maintenance, Brunette Blonde is less expensive than other colors like Platinum Silver or Sunset Copper because there aren’t many steps involved when coloring your hair at home; however it does still require some time every few weeks for touch ups if you’re just looking for subtle changes in your appearance over time!
This shade is perfect for anyone who wants something edgy yet sophisticated!
Subtle Platinum
Subtle platinum is a beautiful way to add shimmer and dimension to your hair without going too far. It’s hard to achieve, but with the right kit you can get this look at home.
Potential issues: If you’re doing it yourself, make sure you’re taking all the necessary safety precautions. Make sure there’s no alcohol in your bleach and use a protective lotion on your ears and neck so they don’t burn from the chemicals. Also, be aware that there may be some fallout! If you have dark roots, make sure you touch up those areas regularly—or consider visiting a salon for maintenance instead of doing it yourself at home.
Maintain: To maintain color like this throughout the years (and keep it from fading), follow these tips from our friends over at ELLE Canada: “Hair colorist Guido uses Wella Koleston Perfect 9/1 as his go-to permanent hair dye; he says it has great coverage thanks to its unique pigments that stay put even after multiple washes.”
Red Head
Red is a color that looks great on everyone. Red hair is a beautiful look for the winter months and can be subtle or bold. You can dye your hair red yourself at home, but it’s a big commitment so make sure you’re ready to take on the commitment before committing!
There are many shades of red, from deep burgundy to bright copper, which means there’s something for everyone no matter what your style preferences might be.
Purple Pizzazz
>For those with dark hair and a little bit of time on their hands, this purple hue will help you stand out from the crowd. The best part is that you can DIY it at home! Here’s what you’ll need:
- Purple hair dye (Majirel in Intense Violet)
- Tint brush
- Gloves for dye application (optional)
- Flat iron or blow dryer
