Color Trends for 2016

As summer nears, you may be considering switching up your hair color for something fresher and brighter – but which hue should you select? Which hair color to choose depends entirely on your desired look and complexion.

Bronde

2016 saw the popularity of bronde as one of the trendiest hair colors. Achieved using balayage coloring techniques, this look offers less intense tones than ombre and more nuanced tones than conventional blonde highlights. This shade is ideal for brunettes looking to lighten their locks without an apparent grow-out line or for blondes wanting more depth and warmth in their waves. Plus, it works on any complexion! Remain open-minded about what your stylist suggests, as a bronde can be highly tailored. Pair your new style with beachy waves for irresistibly stylish results!

Ash Pink

Ash pink is a fabulous blonde hue that has recently been trending. Wear it as an accent shade or use it to subdue more intense blonde shades; just be sure to keep brassy tones at bay using products like Cream Silk Triple Keratin Rescue Ultimate Color Revive Ultra Conditioner. If you want to try platinum but are concerned that it might be too flashy, ask your stylist to add some subtle yet flattering ash-brown highlights at your roots for an elegant, quiet, and stylish effect. Ash brown works exceptionally well when blended into gray hair tones!

Green

Green hair color makes an eye-catching statement that’s bold and exciting, perfect for creating an impactful first impression. Green is often associated with nature, serenity, and trustworthiness – qualities green represents well as part of its identity as the color of nature itself. Brighter green hues like neon and lime green work well on lighter skin tones, while forest and emerald greens suit medium to dark skin tones better. For an alternative style that has warmer undertones like moss or highlighter green. Remember that green hair requires high maintenance to retain its vibrant hue. Use shampoo and conditioner designed for color-treated locks, such as Matrix Reflection Bain Chromatique or Pureology’s Hydrate, to help prevent early fading.

Platinum

Platinum is an eye-catching color that pairs beautifully with nearly every style. To try it, consult your stylist on selecting a suitable shade to complement your skin tone and hair health needs. Rock an icy blonde bob with platinum blonde highlights for an elegant blonde bombshell look for maximum impact. This airy shade will frame your face beautifully while complimenting both eyes and complexion. Icy blonde tones are easy to maintain and work best on cool or neutral-toned complexions.

Caramel

Caramel hair color has become increasingly popular among celebrities and is an ideal way to add vibrancy and brightness to darker roots or grow-out blooms. This warm hue works excellent with straight and wavy styles for an exciting makeover! Caramel is a warm hue of blonde and brown shades with many variations to suit most skin tones. Light caramel can add subtle depth and dimension, while darker caramel hues may create more dramatic effects in a balayage or ombre style.
