Two thousand twenty promises to bring us some exciting hair trends, from milky-chocolate hues worn by famous brunettes to new interpretations of platinum blonde; these adorable hues are bound to take over salon appointments across the board. Keep reading to discover some inspiring color ideas to get you through your next salon appointment.
Cool-toned blonde hues
Cool-toned blonde hues such as this will complement any pale complexion beautifully; ask your stylist to add subtle ash-blonde balayage details, and be sure to use a weekly masking treatment to avoid brassiness.
Ultra-White
Each New Year brings an urge to experiment and try something completely new. From subtle updates to significant transformations, these trendy hair color ideas will help you discover a perfect look. Platinum blondes with silver undertones have become increasingly fashionable thanks to Daenerys Targaryen. Ask your colorist to add this trendy shade with shine-boosting purple shampoo for added depth and dimension.
Peach
Peach is a warm pastel shade that offers equal freshness, beauty, and chicness. Wear it alone or combine it with other hues like gold for an impactful look that works on many skin tones and hair colors. Darker strands should be pre-lightened to enhance peach tones, while blondes can spice up their look by switching rose gold hues with soft blush highlights for spring. Ask your stylist to add in these special springtime touches!
Cinnamon
An adult appointment that often could be more fun to plan is visiting the hair salon. From sunlit blonde to rose-tinged brunette or tempting red tones, there are plenty of trending shades this year to watch. Imagine mermaid hair without its harsh attitude—this shade evokes the beautiful sunset hue with subtle touches of vibrant red. Complement this look with corkscrew curls and a pink lip for maximum effect!
Sable
One of the more unpleasant adult appointments you’ll likely make in 2020 will involve changing your hair color, so we enlisted experts’ assistance in forecasting which hues would become popular this year. From the milk chocolate tone beloved by celebrity brunettes to platinum blonde with twinkly copper baby lights, these ideas should guide your next salon appointment.
Platinum Blonde
Platinum blonde is the most incredible shade this year and ideal for most light-skinned complexions. A toning shampoo at home may help prevent brassy tones from developing if you have naturally warm-toned locks. If you like platinum but don’t want to go the full-on silver route, consider experimenting with warmer techniques like Carey Mulligan’s milk chocolate shade—perfect for brunettes who want lighter hues without going blonde! Her warm complexion looks fabulous with it, too.
Dip-Dye Ends
Dip dyeing has seen a comeback after first becoming popular with celebrities nearly ten years ago, offering vibrant colors without compromising length. Similar to ombre hair but with more abrupt transitions between colors, dip dyeing creates the appearance that you dipped your locks directly into a vat of vibrant hues! To make this look, your stylist will begin by featherlightening upwards on your ends before applying a rich tint of color—be sure to do a strand test first!
Chocolate Brown
Chocolate brown adds a subtle dimension to long, layered haircuts. Casanova says this shade looks incredibly flattering on textured hair. Try balayage-style coloring that gradually transitions from rich milk chocolate to creamy copper for an appealing look that complements cool skin tones. Plus, this technique means less frequent salon visits for touch-ups! If you are not quite ready for bleached locks, try adding blonde peekaboo streaks as an alternative option to accentuate your natural chocolate brown hue and brighten up your complexion without appearing vampy. This contrast will bring brightness without making you appear vampish.
Golden Blonde
Bring light into your locks with caramel golden blonde and honey highlights for an inviting and feminine look that brightens gray eyes—style with soft curls for an ideal lived-in look perfect for any special event or gathering. Add lightness and warmth to a dark brunette base by asking your colorist to use a balayage technique when painting on the buttery blonde shade, creating seamless roots and ends of your mane without visible lines.
