5 Hair-Color Trends You Need to Try in 2019 - 2020

5 Hair-Color Trends You Need to Try in 2019 - 2020

When it comes to beauty trends, nothing is ever really out. That being said, there are looks that naturally come and go — especially when it comes to hair color. Thanks to social media, it’s easy to see that all of a sudden, your friends, favorite influencers, celebrities, and even regular folks are getting dye jobs in similar, gorgeous shades. That's how trends are born, after all. Which got us thinking: How can we get ahead of what's next in hair color? By heading directly to the experts, of course. We talked to top colorists who have firsthand knowledge of what hair colors are going to blow up in 2019. They aren't psychic (at least we don't think so), but they're listening to their clients' needs all day at the salon — and some of those clients happen to be major trendsetters.

Lucky for us, these hues are decidedly wearable. Some are easier than others to achieve (we're looking at you, pastel), but each can look incredible on just about everyone. Your new hair-color vibe for 2019 is right ahead. You'll probably want to bookmark this.

Dirty Brunette

You've heard of dirty blondes, but have you heard of dirty brunettes? "I think we’re going to see a lot of the trend in 2019," says hairstylist Riawna Capri of Los Angeles's Nine Zero One Salon, seen here. She explains that the hue is a natural-looking brunette color that incorporates dark blonde pieces with a more neutral, smoky vibe. It's not warm or cool — it's somewhere in the middle.

Dirty Brunette

Capri says that a dirty brunette's highlights don't "compromise a brunette’s brown hair," meaning that they shouldn't lean too far into blonde territory. For example, Ciara's hair is still a rich, pretty brown, but it's illuminated with neutral highlights.

Dirty Brunette

"Dirty brunette is a nice change for those who are normally cool or super warm," adds Capri. "It’s a perfect balance of both." Actress Jessica Biel keeps her neutral highlights looking natural with laid-back waves. Notice the how the kiss of lighter brown brightens up her complexion.

Faded Pastel

Hairstylist Andrew Fitzsimons got Khloe Kardashian to this pale-pink hue by using a temporary hair color. "I’ve been playing with spray-on colors lately and have been so impressed with how much these types of products have improved in recent years," he tells Allure. "Khloe and I were chatting about it and she’s always down to push boundaries, so I used the L’Oréal Paris Colorista 1-Day Spray in Pastel Pink so she could see how it would look. She loved it so much, we did it again [last] week for Good American."

Cool Brunette

Model Kaia Gerber's highlights look like she was born with them. To achieve her look, have your colorist focus baby-fine highlights on the midlength and ends of your hair, as well as the pieces framing your face.

Anyone else feeling fidgety as the new season rolls in? There's no such thing as a spring clean in autumn, but with everyone going back to work, it feels like prime time for a fresh start – a wardrobe clear out, makeup switch-up and perhaps, a brand new hair shade to see you through the season. Whether you're leaning towards going lighter with blonde, transforming into a rich brunette, having a go at red hair, or even learning how to get grey hair we've got your inspo sorted.

While chestnuts and dark chocolatey brunettes always gain popularity when heading towards winter, if you don't fancy going quite so dark, top celebrity colourist, Josh Wood, is a firm fan of copper-blonde (a more autumnal and titian take on strawberry blonde), which he used on models' hair backstage at the Marc Jacobs runway show in New York recently. Failing that, why not try warm amber? A toasted pecan shade that sits somewhere in between blonde and brunette.

As for this year's top-trending shades, according to Pinterest, mushroom blonde is in, thanks to a 308% surge in users searching for the ashy grey-toned blonde. Fire is heating up with 90% of users scrolling through the vibrant red shade that's blazing a trail this season and lilac has also seen a surge.

Fire hair

Fire hair is up 90% on Pinterest as we look for brighter, more vibrant shades for summer. Dancer Dianne Buswell, is proof that bold is better with this shade of firetruck red.

The Mallen Streak hair

Taking inspiration from those with natural mallen streaks (a section of hair with little to no pigment), this highlighting trend sees a bigger section of hair bleached for a dramatic stripe, usually placed to frame the face.

Texture Paint hair

As more and more women are embracing their natural textures, free-hand highlights are making a big comeback. Rather than using the traditional foil technique, lightening agents are painted through curls to further enhance the coiled shapes and shadows, adding instant dimension.

THE 5 HAIRSTYLES YOU'LL SEE EVERYWHERE IN SUMMER 2020

If you've been flirting with the idea of changing your hairstyle, now is the perfect time to switch it up.

After all, a new season is fast approaching, fresh looks are emerging and inspiration is abundant.

In order to provide you with some guidance amid the onslaught of options, we consulted some of Australia's leading hairdressers to get their expert takes on the trending cuts, colours and styles for summer 2020. So, if you fancy a new 'do, keep scrolling for (and prepare to screenshot) the 'it'-looks of the coming season.

Byron Turnbull, Co-Founder and Director of Goldie Sydney:

"If you can't make up your mind over whether to go light or dark for summer, 'bronde' is for you. A warm and glossy look, the main benefits of this hair colour are that it's achievable and low-maintenance, keeping hair super healthy while offering light and shade for pops of colour and brightness."

Anthony Nader, Salon Owner and Creative Director at RAW Anthony Nader:

"An asymmetrical bob with a solid baseline showcases healthy thick ends and you can wear this either poker straight or with a wave. Try changing your part line to deep side part for added drama or [go for] that ever-contemporary, strict centre part."

Joey Scandizzo, Co-Creative Director of ELEVEN Australia:

"This is a really '70s approach to texture. [It's about] creating the same movements through the mid-lengths and ends but instead of a drier finish, using softer, more pliable products with a gloss finish. Poppy Delevingne and Margot Robbie do this so well, with irregular twists or plaits that add interest and a mix of textures. This looks great with soft blondes and muti-tonal shades in neutral, high-shine glossy colours."

Barney Martin, Owner & Director of Barney Martin Hair:

"[We'll see] a new love affair with gel. This is brilliant for fixing low, sleek ponies for a minimalist look. Cue: wet look, slicked back finishes with a 'more is more' approach to gel. The high-shine and no-stray pieces really pare back with the luxe finishing."
