A hair change seems like the quickest way to create a new look. It’s easy, it’s fun and there are endless choices for you to experiment with. There’s no shortage of cool hair-color trends to try. Remember 2019? It’s biggest trends sounded like something you would read on a drink menu – root beer brown and cold brew hair – but that was the past. The styles for 2020 are completely new and focus on the natural shades but also have a fresh twist.
Natural, however, doesn’t mean boring or bland. Natural can mean cool and even super cool if it comes with a twist. And this guide will show you how natural can become cool. For instance, let’s talk about golden highlights – why wouldn’t you order caramel mocha or any other cool color combination from the color racks? Also, why don’t you look at the less popular colors on the hair color storage rack, like brown twilight or black with a blend of classic platinum? Here’s more to check out:
Tweed colors
Top hairstylists in Miami have noticed that many clients have been moving away from the common darker roots with lighter ends they’ve been loving during the last 5 years. Now, they are looking for something new, called “tweed hair”. Essentially, the color features subtle highlights that are evenly distributed. The contrast is still there, but it’s not as visible and it won’t be “in your face”, as seen in previous seasons. The favorite look for tweed colors? It’s probably the rich brown with golden balayage pieces – just ask for this color at your local beauty salon.
Rooted platinum
How do you wear platinum hair? Probably the best way is to have a little bit of a darker root to have more contrast. This is very easy to achieve for women who are already super blond or platinum. If you are already blonde or platinum, just ask for a highlight retouch or a mini root shadow (there are many darker options you can find on color racks) to create a further blend and a line of demarcation. The amazing contrast of darker roots to the blond highlight is very popular in 2020.
Rusty copper
This is for the brunette base and it’s a great way to lighten up. The red-hue light colors can be found on any hair color storage rack. Just go for a simple burnished red shade – it will look awesome on curls and will add another dimension to your hair. Other rusty hues also work, such as ochre or yellowish colors. Just be creative and experiment!
Twilighting
We mentioned brown twilight colors above, but we’ll focus on these hues more. Twilight colors sound like something that Edward Cullen would do in the morning but pay attention to what we have to say: twilighting is the latest hair-coloring technique you have to try. Twilighting is mainly for brunettes with warm undertones who still want to add the gold dimension to their hair. The look can be achieved easily by painting a few balayage pieces together with foiled babylights. Twilighting is already popular in 2020 and will definitely be something you’ll see in 2021 and 2022. It looks awesome and everyone loves it!
Pale ash blond
The trend was started by Lucy Boynton with her creamy blond color, which was a fabulous lesson in tones. The color works with virtually all skin tones because it’s subtle, warm, but with cool effects. The color is great even for darker blondes – you can simply ask for a beige hue from the color rack. The result will be deeper and work as a complementary tone for all skin tones.
Brown ale hair
Remember the drink menu we mentioned above? Well, we have a color that resembles ale – specifically brown ale. The color has a deep mahogany base and swirls of amber highlights. It’s a great option for brunettes because of the depth and richness it provides. It’s incredibly warm, but without the mousy and brassy undertones, people usually associate with brunettes. The shade is perfect for any season and it’s a great way to go darker and richer, especially during cold weather. It’s the color that brings warmth for the colder winter days.
Sand storm
This is a mid-tone blonde you can find on the hair color storage rack at your local beauty salon. It’s a great option for low-maintenance blondes or brunettes who also want a little bit of lightness. The key is to add a little brightness to the face and give the illusion of lighter hair. A sand storm color is a great option for women who don’t want to spend a lot of time on maintenance – it’s sturdy and is great for any season. The look is natural, light, and very popular in 2020.
Orchard red
Red hues are getting very popular in 2020, mainly because of Zendaya’s killer shade. Orchard red is a special kind of red hue – it contains both auburn and copper tones, which can enrich your entire appearance. The red goes well with your previous color, but you’ll need a balayage to achieve the multi reflective color. Unfortunately, orchard red is similar to every other type of red hues you’ll find on hair color storage racks – it requires a lot of upkeep and maintenance. Otherwise, it will fade quickly and the effect will go away.
Chocolate brown
This is a classic but it’s amazingly popular in 2020. It’s probably the quickest and safest option for natural brunettes. The color is richer and deeper than the one-dimensional chocolate shade you are used to. The color is a master combination between dark brown and auburn.
Root shadow
Deep root shadows are great for all shades of blonde. They create a more lived-in feel and they are very easy to maintain. The darker root is also good for natural brunettes, who want to create something new and look spectacular during this season. Darker roots are good when creating contrast against the dark blonde colors.
