Best hair colors to try in this year
1. Blonde hair with dark roots (new)
Dark roots are a great option for those with short hair. If you have blonde hair, but want to add some dimension and depth, this is the ideal color for you.
Dark roots are easy to maintain and can be done at home. They suit all skin tones and look best on fair to medium skin.
2. Balayage and flicks blonde
This look is a subtle way to go blonde. The gradation of color that you see in balayage and highlights is less obvious with this style because it’s fresh out of the salon, but like all blondes, it will fade over time and you will be able to tell that your hair has been touched up.
This look is perfect for anyone who wants a subtle change from their current color or just wants to make sure they can maintain their new shade before committing to an ounce more “highlights-y” look (but don’t underestimate the power of a good highlight).
3. Blonde hair with pink highlights
Blonde hair with pink highlights
This is a fun and new way to add color to blonde locks. The result is a subtle, yet eye-catching effect that looks great when paired with other bright colors like green or blue.
4. Red with blonde highlights
A red with blonde highlights is a great choice for women who want to keep it simple. It’s an easy way to switch up your look without having to commit to a major color change. The right shade of red can suit any hair type, face shape and skin tone so you’re sure to find what works best for your complexion.
This style is also the perfect transition from summer to winter (or vice versa). Your highlights will fade into their natural state while still maintaining that signature pop of color—and if you’re feeling adventurous, go ahead and add more!
5. Coffee and caramel brown
Coffee and caramel brown is a natural-looking color that suits many different skin tones. It’s a very versatile color, so you can try it in short or long hair. The coffee will make your hair look shiny, healthy and thicker; the caramel gives it a warm glow. If you have fine hair, this could be a good option for you because it makes your hair look fuller and more voluminous without making you look like an anime character from the 90’s!
6. Warm Caramel brown
The hair color is a blend of blonde and red, which works well for all skin tones. If you’re looking to wear your natural curls or straightened locks, this color looks good both ways.
For brunettes or those with dark hair: If you have brown eyes and dark skin that’s cool toned (think Asian), consider adding caramel highlights to add warmth and dimension to your overall look. This is also an option for anyone who wants their face framed by lighter tones instead of darker ones—just be careful not to go too light so that you don’t end up looking like anemic Tinkerbell!
7. Platinum blonde hair color
Platinum blonde hair is an extremely popular hair color, and for good reason. It’s a very cool-toned blonde that looks great on any skin tone, especially when paired with a dark lip color.
To get platinum blonde, you can either go to the salon or you can purchase a box set at home. This is a more affordable option if you are not sure whether you like this look or not. However, there are some risks in doing so:
- If you decide that this is not the right look for you, it’s harder to reverse than other colors because of its high intensity and lightness.
- The products used in home kits may contain harsh chemicals that could damage your scalp over time (and some people don’t have time for that).
8. Black with blue highlights/Dark blue ombre hair color
Black with blue highlights is a great choice for anyone with darker skin, especially people who are olive or latin. It’s also a good option for those who have dark hair naturally, or have been dying their hair black and want to try something new.
Black and blue is one of the best color combinations because they’re both neutral colors. Black is neutral on its own while blue has some coolness to it, so when you put them together they complement each other perfectly. This look comes off as sophisticated but edgy at the same time—it’s one of my personal favorites!
