Buttery blond

If you have dark hair, you might want to consider going with a darker shade of blond to contrast your hair. The buttery blonde is a natural looking colour that is somewhere between very light and platinum. It’s flattering on pale skin, works with any eye color and can be achieved at home (with the right products). This look requires regular touchups as it fades quickly, but is great for people who don’t want a permanent change—it will wash out after two months or so!

Kaleidoscope

Kaleidoscope

If you’re looking for a way to add some fun and flair to your hair, kaleidoscope is the perfect option. It’s a combination of pastel colours that are placed in specific sections of the hair. The colours are usually 2-3 shades lighter than your natural hair colour, so it looks more subtle than using all one tone. Kaleidoscope is also soft and feminine—perfect for those who want something different without being too dramatic!

Rose gold

  • Rose gold. A blend of rose-gold and copper, this gorgeous, rich shade can suit any skin tone. It’s a mix of red, gold and blonde shades that gives a beautiful shine to your hair.
  • Violet. The most talked about hair colour for 2017 is violet – don’t be surprised if you see more Violets than ever before! This colour is similar to blue but with more red tones in it – depending on how much red or blue you want in your hair will decide what shade of violet suits you best.

Chocolate brown

If you’re looking for a rich, dark brown hue that is timeless and classic, chocolate brown is the perfect shade for you. It’s a great choice for those with cooler skin tones, as it will complement their paler coloring. This colour works especially well on brunettes or redheads who want to add depth and dimension to their hair colour without going too drastic. This shade has been trending for years, so it’s here to stay!

Lilac

Purple is a color that many people are familiar with, but there are several shades in the purple family. Lilac is one of them and it can be used to create an elegant look for darker skin tones or a bolder style for fair skin tones.

If you want to achieve this look, you’ll want to go with a vibrant shade of lilac. You should also use violet-based products like toners and semi-permanent dyes rather than blue-based ones such as indigo or ash browns. In addition to using purple shampoo every day, make sure that you opt for products that have been specifically designed for colored hair because they will help keep your color bright and shiny for longer periods of time (and keep away any dreaded brassiness).

Ashy blonde

The ash blonde is a mix of blonde and grey, but it doesn’t have the same “ash” tone as you might think. It’s a great look for blondes who want to try something different without going too far out there. However, this colour takes time and effort to master.

This hair colour will suit people with cooler skin tones better than warmer ones because they tend not to suit such light shades as well.

Grey

Grey is a colour that is easy to maintain, and it’s also very versatile. When it comes to grey hair, you can choose from a variety of colours and tones. You can go with the more classic silver or platinum shades or you can opt for something more on-trend like ash grey or lavender. However, if you want to be grey now, you may need to bleach your hair first as most people don’t have naturally silver or platinum coloured hair. If you are tempted to do this yourself, consult a professional who will know how much bleach is necessary before applying it. Otherwise there’s always the option of having some darker highlights added in order to give them more depth (without permanently changing their base).

Caramel balayage

Caramel Balayage is a low maintenance look that will give you a natural looking hair colour. The hair is coloured to blend with your own colour, making it easier for you to maintain.

Copper red

Copper red is the best hair color for summer. It’s the perfect combination of warm, earthy tones that looks great with a tan! The trick to maintaining copper red hair is to get it professionally dyed every two weeks. And if you’re wondering which copper red color would be right for your skin tone, we’ve got some tips for picking the best one!

Consult with your colorist to find out what would suit you best.

  • Consult with your colorist to find out what would suit you best.
  • Do a patch test first.
  • Do your research beforehand.
  • Don’t be afraid to ask for a second opinion — especially when it comes to colouring! Your hairstylist should know their stuff, but it’s always good to double check that they’re on the same page as yourself before committing (especially since not all of us can tell if our hair is going too dark or brassy).
  • Ask about patch tests, which ensure that the chosen shade will work with your skin tone and eye colour; this will give everyone peace of mind that the result will be perfect without having to invest in an entire bottle of dye and potentially ending up with something that just doesn’t work—or worse yet, something orangey!
