Amazingly Trendy Hair Colors to Try This Spring

This spring, flowers will bloom and colors will flourish. Let the change of seasons inspire you to try something new with your look too! The hair colors trend this season goes from mild to wild meaning there truly is something for everyone. Time to get spring-inspired!

Bronzed Lights

A rich bronzed base with beige blonde highlights intertwining throughout will warm and brighten your skin tone this spring. At your next visit to your favorite stylist, talk with them about a gradual move towards this look

Best Skin Tone and Hair Type:

Finer complexioned beauties look amazing with this bronzed color. It warms the skin tone just enough and the highlights keep the color from becoming too dark. A medium to fine hair texture would work best with this color and hair that has soft curls or waves will hold this curled style best.

Tip:

If you have more than 25% grey in your hair, talk to your stylist about doing both a color and highlight your first visit, then switching to a color every five to five weeks with a highlight at every other appointment.  This will keep your color looking great while being a little easier on your pocket book.

Chocolate Cherry

Brunettes are always searching for great ways to brighten up their locks without going lighter. The placement of rich cherry highlights through the fringe and top of hair creates interest in all the right places.

Best Skin Tone and Hair Type:

Warm toned beauties that have naturally dark hair and want to step into a bit of the red zone are perfect for this color technique. Straight hair that is worn slightly curled at the ends or naturally straight show off the placement of the highlights best.

Tip:

To achieve this voluminous look, thick hair with volumizing products (such as Pravana’s Elevate) and a great blow out are a must. If you’re having trouble achieving your look at home, ask your stylist for a style lesson. They love to give you easy ways and recommendations to keep you looking your best.

Blonde with a Bit of Surprise 

Beautiful blonde highlights are always in style, but add a bit of color peaking through around your ear and nape of your neck and it brings it to a whole new level! When choosing a coordinating color to go with your blonde highlights, take into consideration the tone of your blonde. If you are a cool blonde, go with beige brown. If you’re more of a golden blonde, try adding rich golden brown. To keep this look soft, make sure that the accent color is not too dark. A shade to two shades darker will create the depth you want without too much contrast.

Best Skin Tone and Hair Type:

A mid to light complexion wears this color beautifully. Hair that is medium to fine withwaves or straight will work well with both the color technique and style.

Tip:

If your hair is very fine, the slightly darker color underneath will create a shadow and make your hair appear thicker. Keep hair trimmed regularly and use volumizing products to keep hair in great shape.

Copper Sunset

Coppers mixed with mahogany and golds create a knockout red that will turn heads everywhere you go! The mix of brighter, fiery coppers throughout the top with the softness and depth of the mahogany framing your face is a must this spring.

Best Skin Tone and Hair Type:

Fair skinned beauties who look great in greens wear this color like a pro! Be prepared to be mistaken for a natural redhead. Medium to thick hair that is straight or wavy show this color off like the work of art it is.

Tip:

Love this color but maybe reds don’t suit you? Ask your stylist for a brown version. Mix tones of gold, ash (don’t be scared!), natural, or beige in varying depths for a hot new look this spring.

Blonde Never Left

Blonde never goes out of style! This spring, soften your blonde with tone on tonelowlights in wheat, beige and natural. Ask for a fine lowlight to keep it looking natural.

Best Skin Tone and Hair Type:

A medium complexion that is cooler looks radiant with this beautiful blonde. Hair that is naturally a light brown to blonde can achieve a soft blonde with minimal upkeep. A medium to fine texture that is straight will achieve this style nicely.

Tip:

Hair that is naturally very dark that wants to achieve this light blonde shade may want to ask for a heavy highlight instead of an all over color. It will be easier to reach the target color and also maintain.

Ombre Has NOT Left the building!

The easy to maintain, soft ombre trend is hot this spring! Most women think that allombre involves the ends being a very light blonde, but this amazing example of a richchocolate brown melting into a soft caramel changes the game completely!

Best Skin Tone and Hair Type:

Warm skin tones that will tan easily look amazing in this soft caramel ombre. Longer lengths of hair allow for a smooth blending of the colors. Medium to thick straight hair works best for both the color and style.

Tip:

To brighten your face even more, ask your stylist to bring the lighter color up higher around your face. It still gives longevity to the color, but allows you to feel lighter all over.

A Penny for your Thoughts

This spring coppers are hot! This soft copper with subtle golden highlights, just slightly lighter than the base, is beautiful on so many ladies. Pair it with soft curls or waves for a night out or special event.

Best Skin Tone and Hair Type:

Fair to medium complexioned beauties with fine to medium hair texture wear this coppery look perfectly.

Tip:

If you are hesitant on changing your color to a beautiful copper, ask your stylist to use a demi-permanent color that will gradually fade off your hair while you give it a trail run.

Pieced Ribbons of Highs and Lows

I love the separation of the highlights and lowlights in this color. The dimension it creates while keeping a light, all-over feel to the color is genius! This spring, request a mix of highs and lows in a variation of sizes.

Best Skin Tone and Hair Type:

Medium skin tone that is cooler looks beautiful with this varied blonde color. Thick hairthat is straight will showcase the color perfectly.

Tip:

If you’re trying highlights for the first time, you may not need to have lowlights applied as well. Consult with your stylist on the best colors for you.

Underlight

Create interest in your color with a bright flash of blonde peeking through from underneath! You can accent it with styling or keep it hidden underneath while at the office.

Best Skin Tone and Hair Type:

Fair skinned beauties with freckles rock this copper and blonde combo perfectly, while straight hair that is medium to thick will really showcase the underlight.

Tip:

While the model is showcasing this color trend with a nice copper with bright blonde, you can wear this with any color combo! Brown with caramel, fire engine red with copper, cool blonde with gold…the options are endless.

Golden Goddess

Soft golden blonde with a slightly richer butter blonde ombre is to die for! Warm tones are going to be “in” this season and not going anywhere. Why would it? This rich color draws the eye straight to you, no matter where you are.

Best Skin Tone and Hair Type:

Complexions that are fair to porcelain are a must for this hot buttered look. Medium hair that is straight in texture will show the variations in color magically.

Tip:

When going with a different color, remember that you may need to change up your make up too. Ask your stylist for their recommendations. Most stylists love both fashion and makeup and have great tips to share!

Reverse Ombre

Brunettes don’t get to have all the ombre fun! This, spring try darkening the ends of your blonde locks with a beautiful bronze or other fashion color.

Best Skin Tone and Hair Type:

Medium skin with a warm glow paired with the bronze ends will brighten you look. Any density of hair that is straight or wavy will hold this style with ease.

Tip:

If you want to give this look a try but aren’t totally sure about it, ask your stylist to use a demi-permanent color.  It will gradually fade off your blonde locks, and the next time you may just want to go permanent!

Mahogany Mama

Let your color be rich and radiant with a gorgeous mahogany this spring! The shine in this color is incomparable to anything else. This color is a great choice for revamping brown hair. Ask your stylist for a soft color that will have dimension.

Best Skin Tone and Hair Type:

Darker skin tones will shine in this rich mahogany, while straight hair that is medium to thick will easily smooth out to this straight bob style.

Tip:

Keeping your hair shiny is a challenge sometimes. Ask your stylist to recommend a deep conditioning treatment that you could use at home to keep your color shiny and bright

Platinum Radiance

Platinum blonde is not for the faint of heart! The bright blonde shines in this icy hue and draws lots of attention.

Best Skin Tone and Hair Type:

Medium complexions that are cool can be paired with this platinum radiance. Finer to medium textured hair that is straight will rock this style.

Tip:

You must be ready for the commitment of keeping up with this color. Touch ups and trims are a must every three to five weeks. Make sure you love your stylist because you will be spending lots of time together!

Goddess Ombre

A soft blend from a natural light brown to a sun kissed blonde paired with curly waves is stunning! This is a beautiful color that has longevity and worry-free maintenance. This type of color is great for the busy lady who can’t schedule regular appointments at the salon. With a slightly higher blend of the lightest color around the face, this color is perfect for spring!

Best Skin Tone and Hair Type:

Mid toned complexions with warm hues paired with this ombre are quite a match. Hair that is fine to medium texture and blessed with natural curls or waves will hold the goddess style perfectly.

Tip:

Add a head band or pretty clip to dress this look up, or wear as is to any party, girls night out or even the office.

Sparking Interest

When you have a fun trendy haircut, it’s just not complete without a matching color! Face framing bright copper bursts take this cut to a new dimension. Heavier color around the face brings attention to your eyes and opens up for a bright smile.

Best Skin Tone and Hair Type:

Medium to dark skin tones paired with a sassy cut will look fabulous with this color. Hair that is medium in density and has slight curl or wave will make styling a breeze!

Tip:

f highlights Love the highlights, but not a fan of copper? Your stylist can follow the same pattern owith any choosen hue.

Spring Flowers Inspire Bright Highlights

Don’t be scared of a little color this spring! Shades of violet and pink layered on top of each other or side by side create a bold, pretty burst of color. Keeping the color a little further back in your hair allows you to have a more natural color placed right next to the face, avoiding any clashes with skin tone.

Best Skin Tone and Hair Type:

Any skin tone can rock out some funky color! Just pick a base color that compliments both your skin tone and the bright hues. In the case of our model, she has a soft violet brown. Hair that is medium to thick in texture and straight will showcase the highlights best.

Tip:

Keeping your new highlights bright is a challenge sometimes. The first defense in color fading is your shampoo.  Using a sulfate-free shampoo with cool water and styling temperatures is a must with bright colors.

Noir Framing

Create drama this spring with a dark framing of your face. Adding slices of dark brown around the hair line from your fringe to ears generates a shadow that can be accentuated as in the picture, or toned down by styling a bit differently.

Best Skin Tone and Hair Type:

Light to medium skin tones will look fabulous with this dark framing of the face, while hair that is medium thickness and straight will create a platform to show off your new hue.

Tip:

If your color is very light, don’t go with too dark of a contrast. Three shades difference is recommended, or, if you really want to go wild, try a dark violet, blue or green hue!
