New Hair Color Trends
Add Character to Your Latest Hair Style

A new hair color can have a dramatic effect on an otherwise plain hair style.

If you're not after drama, use hair color to compliment your skin tone and highlight your features.

Check out the ideas on this page to learn about what's hot in hair color and get inspired for a new look.

Highlighted Effects

The once popular chunky highlights which gave a stripey effect from the part have been updated to a more modest blend of 3 or 4 tones of hair color ranging from light to dark and applied in various sizes.

Foiling is the best method to achieve this look. Highlighting and lowlighting using foils allows for total creative freedom and gives the best results as each section is kept seperate from the others.

This also means that all of the different colors can be applied and process at the same time.

Rich dark colors are ultra-hot, sprinkled with a few equally rich highlights peeking out from underneath.

Deep tones of eggplant, burgundy, or bright red are a great compliment to a dark brown or black hair color.

Dramatic Hair Color Effects

Strategically placed highlights, lowlights, or panels can accentuate texture and add tons of impact to your hair style. This bold effect is very edgy and can be done in many color combinations.

Platinum blonde and dark brown are shown here, but this look is equally dramatic with black/red or light copper/dark auburn, even purple/blue! Go with tones that compliment your natural coloring and express your personal style.

Solid or Subtle Color Effects

Solid, one-tone hair color is very popular again or two tones that offer just a subtle hint of color progression (as in the case of the blonde pictured at right).

Deep red or brown hair colors add richness and make hair look healthy and shiny. Dimensional blonde hair colors create interest and break up a solid ultra-blonde color which adds a professional, high class touch.
