Life would be boring if we said the hottest hair color trend of the year was simply “blonde.” It would also be insanely inaccurate if we did that because there’s about a hundred different shades of blonde and a ton of other intricate and downright stunning hair colors that have dominated your Instagram feed this year. And if you need to be updated so you can go into the salon with the right photo references and confidence that you won’t walk out with total regret or disappointment, you’ve landed upon the correct URL, my friend. We’re breaking down some of the hottest hair color trends of the year, below.
Pumpkin Spice
Well, it doesn’t look like the inside of your PSL cup, but it does draw on inspiration from the auburn and warm brown hues you’d associate with pumpkin. "It's a coppery colored base with golden highlights," explains Stephanie Brown, a colorist at Nunzio Saviano Salon in New York City. She says the colors are "very fall" and references the palette of autumn leaves.
Matrix SoColor Celebrity Stylist George Papanikolas says if warm tones complement you, this is a solid option for you. "Copper and orange tones are better for fair skin tones, while honey and amber work best with darker skin tones," he says. "To keep your pumpkin spice hair looking vibrant use a color-safe shampoo like Matrix Total Results Color Obsessed Shampoo and Conditioner, which reduces fading."
