Trendy New Hair Color Trends You Should Try This Year
Sombre
One of the most versatile and easy-to-wear hair color trends is sombre. This look can be achieved with one or two shades, and it’s a great way to add some depth to your hair without committing too much time or money.
What does this new trend mean? Sombre was originally a French word for “dark” or “dull,” which came from the Latin word “somber.” In recent years, however, sombre has come to mean something more glamorous and stylish than its literal meaning suggests. The term refers to any look that uses two different shades of color—one dark and one light—on top of each other in order to create contrast between them while still keeping them understated enough so they don’t overpower each other (or you).
The best part about sombre? You can do it yourself! All you need are some dyes (either permanent or semi-permanent) as well as gloves and applicator brushes; once those items are on hand all you have left is choosing what shade(s) will work best with your natural hue!
Color melting
Color melting is a fun and edgy technique that allows you to mix two or more colors together. The colors are blended so that they blend into each other seamlessly, creating an overall look that is cohesive and eye-catching. This technique was developed by balayage, which means it’s still fairly new and can be a bit tricky to master on your own if you don’t have a lot of experience with hair color techniques. If you’re interested in trying out this look for yourself, we recommend checking with your stylist first—it may be best to leave it up to the professionals!
Rooty blondes
As you may know, blondes can have lowlights too. Rooty blondes are the latest trend in hair coloring that’s making waves in Hollywood and beyond. It’s a technique that uses various colors—not just brown—to add depth and dimension to your base shade of blonde. This is done with foils or freehand, depending on what look you’re going for.
This look works best on light-skinned blondes who want to keep their color bright but not too harsh, or brunettes who want to go lighter without the cost of bleaching their entire head (which can be damaging). You’ll notice that celebrities like Paris Hilton and Jessica Alba have tried this technique as well!
Babylights
If you’re a blonde and want to add subtle highlights to your hair, babylights are the way to go. These come in many different shades of blonde, so even if you’re a natural platinum blonde and just want some subtle golden highlights throughout your strands or if you have darker brown roots but want to lighten up on top, there’s something for everyone.

The Ombre
Some people may think that ombré and balayage are the same thing, but they’re not. The difference is subtle, but it’s important to know which one you’re getting in order to maintain the look.
A traditional ombré is achieved by dyeing your hair halfway up a darker shade of color and then adding highlights as light as blonde or white to the bottom half of your hair. Balayage, on the other hand, involves creating soft highlights throughout your entire head of hair using paintbrush-like strokes instead of harsh lines (think watercolor paints). The result leaves each strand looking melted together rather than painted on by someone else—it’s an art form!

Here’s the lowdown on 5 hot new hair color trends that are taking over the world right now.
- Pastel: This is a trend we can totally get behind! Pastels help us imagine springtime and summertime even when it’s still winter out there. We love how they also add softness and femininity to any style—whether your hair is long or short, curly or straight!
- Rainbow: This isn’t anything new—but it sure is fun! From subtle streaks to full-on rainbow manes, this is a great way to add personality without going overboard on color. It works particularly well with natural highlights too–especially if you have light blonde/silver hair like mine (shoutout).
- Ombré: A personal favorite among celebrities everywhere because of its classic glamour feel – this technique has been around for years but still remains popular today thanks in part because it allows people who might not normally be comfortable with bright colors (or those who don’t want scars from dyeing) experiment safely without damaging their natural shade too much; however there are ways around this if need be by purchasing pre-lightened bundles online beforehand then dying them yourself afterwards which means no bleeding whatsoever!!
