As we step into 2024, hair color trends are shifting in exciting new directions. Whether you’re ready to make a bold statement or looking for something subtle and sophisticated, this year offers something for everyone. Here’s a look at what’s in and what’s out in hair color trends for 2024.
What’s In:
1. Copper Reds
Red shades are making a strong comeback, with copper tones leading the way. This warm, fiery hue adds vibrancy and richness to your look, perfect for making a statement. From deep auburn to lighter, golden copper, this trend is all about embracing bold, warm colors.
2. Expensive Brunette
The “expensive brunette” trend focuses on rich, multi-dimensional browns that exude luxury and sophistication. This look involves subtle highlights and lowlights that create depth and movement, giving brunettes a polished and refined appearance.
3. Cool-Toned Blondes
Icy blondes and platinum shades are staying strong in 2024. These cool-toned blondes are perfect for those who love a sleek, edgy look. The key to nailing this trend is maintaining a glossy, almost metallic finish that shines with health.
4. Soft Pastels
For those who love experimenting with color, soft pastel shades are in. Think delicate pinks, lilacs, and baby blues that add a playful, whimsical touch to your hair without being overpowering. These colors work beautifully on both blonde and light brunette bases.
5. Face-Framing Highlights
Face-framing highlights, often referred to as “money pieces,” are still a major trend. These bright, lightened sections around the face add dimension and brightness, enhancing your natural features. This trend is versatile and works with a variety of base colors.
6. Mushroom Brown
Mushroom brown, a cool, ashy brown with a hint of gray, is the perfect balance between dark and light. This shade is ideal for those who want a low-maintenance, sophisticated look with a touch of modern edge.
7. Dimensional Black
Gone are the days of flat black hair. In 2024, black hair is all about dimension. Think rich, glossy blacks with hints of deep blue or purple undertones, creating a multi-faceted, luxurious look.
What’s Out:
1. Overly Bleached Blondes
The trend of overly bleached, almost white blonde hair is fading. Instead, cooler, more natural blonde shades are taking over, with an emphasis on healthy, shiny hair.
2. Harsh Ombré
The stark contrast between dark roots and light ends seen in traditional ombré styles is making way for softer, more blended color transitions. Subtle balayage and sombre (soft ombré) techniques are preferred for a more natural look.
3. Neon Colors
While bright, neon hair colors had their moment, 2024 is moving towards more muted, soft pastels and natural tones. If you love color, consider opting for a more subdued shade that still offers fun without overwhelming your look.
4. Flat One-Dimensional Colors
Single-tone hair colors without highlights or lowlights are losing popularity. Instead, multi-dimensional shades with depth and movement are taking the spotlight, offering a more natural and sophisticated appearance.
5. Chunky Highlights
The chunky highlight trend is officially out. In 2024, hair color is all about subtlety and finesse, with finely blended highlights and lowlights that create a seamless, natural look.
