Hair Color Trends for 2019

With 2019 under our belts and so many options for changing your hair color simultaneously, how can you select an appropriate shade? Thanks to the beauty industry, plenty of experts can assist with making decisions more accessible for you. To help get you started, we interviewed some of them about what 2019 holds in store – keep reading to discover which color trend will become a mainstream phenomenon!

Chestnut Highlights

Chestnut can make an eye-catching statement, especially when combined with touches of red. While not quite strawberry blonde, this hue combines red with brown to create an eye-catching shade that exudes warmth and beauty. For a more accessible take on this trend, consider opting for an ombre or balayage style with light chestnut highlights. This hair color trend adds rich hues to give brunettes a distinctive new look without overshadowing their natural shade. Kiernan Shipka–our contemporary Sabrina Spellman from The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina–is an outstanding example of this trend, as her face-framing locks combine dark brown roots and strawberry blonde highlights into an eye-catching finish. If you prefer less obvious highlights, ask your stylist to add baby lights (sometimes lowlights) to your chestnut locks. These smaller shades are darker than your base color, allowing for subtle depth and dimension in light brown hair.

Black Blonde

Dark blonde highlights can be the ideal solution for brunettes looking to transition their look without entirely switching up their shade. The seductive hue combines caramel hues with blonde touches for an alluring autumn-friendly hue. Honeyed hues are perfect for bonfires, weekend drives, and enjoying autumn vibes. This warm tone looks natural and effortless on any hair length, thanks to subtle balayage techniques. While vivid blues, hot pinks, and vibrant purples were all the rage last year, many are choosing bolder looks this year with more natural-looking shades like Overtone temporary dye to add pops of color without permanent bleach. Like Keke Palmer or Zendaya, Overtone offers fleeting hues that complement almost all skin tones while lightening up in colder temperatures.

White Blonde

Compared to traditional platinum blonde hues, white hair color trends now feature cool and icy tones that complement all skin tones. Follow Rose of Blackpink’s lead by adopting this look for yourself; just be sure to warm it up by adding honeycomb highlights for extra heat this winter. Opt for a beige-blonde base color with frosty platinum highlights if you want a subtle take on this blonde trend. This style works best when applied to all-natural strands, especially for redheads who wish to transition. Want to turn heads this winter? Give yourself an edge by switching up your look with an eye-catching hue like Hilary Duff’s turquoise or Keke Palmer’s pinkish-red locks. If you don’t want a permanent change, temporary dye such as Overtone may last only through several washes; or for something bolder, try a rich reddish hue like Zendaya’s beautiful burgundy tone from Zendaya; remember to regularly deep condition treatments to protect from damage and early fading!

Copper Highlights

Additionally, more brunettes are opting for subtle copper hues. Ginger copper hair has an end-of-day atmosphere that’s eye-catching and approachable; it is perfect for people with fair skin who desire glowing balayage styles! Bronze copper hair color adds a neutral element to red-influenced hues, such as strawberry blonde or deeper auburn, providing a more decadent, mature take on the bright red trend. It’s especially helpful for those seeking an effortless redhead look without going all out with fiery crimson hues. Ask your stylist for a spirited copper highlight if you’re feeling adventurous. This look echoes those worn by celebrities like Dua Lipa on their ends but requires less intense touch-ups than full copper penny hair. Remember – to maintain its fresh look, you should visit your stylist every four weeks to keep this vibrant shade!
