September 5, 2024

Looking for some seasonal shade inspo? Discover a new wave of winter hair colors just in time for cozy season with our round-up of the coolest hues. If you’re planning your own transformation, here are the luxe winter looks you’re going to love. There’s a shade to suit everyone…

COPPER BROWN BALAYAGE

Looking for a change from sun-kissed summer balayage? Warm up brunette locks with a hint of copper instead. Ideal for autumn, this shiny, metallic hue is perfect for adding a seasonal shade shift to darker hair colors.

ICE BLONDE HAIR

Winter calls for frostier finishes, and where better to start than with an uber-cool platinum or ice blonde? If their usual tone of blonde tends to fall on the yellow or golden side of the color spectrum, try taking things a little whiter with an icy blonde finish. It’s glossy, sleek and impossibly chic.

ASH BROWN HAIR

The perfect new-season update for classic brunettes? Ash brown hair. Moving away from warmer brown shades with touches of red or gold, this look is cool, smoky and rich, weaving together mauve-toned strands with sections of mink. Style in loose waves to show off every shade in this multi-tonal look.

BLUE BLACK HAIR

This color screams flawless Halloween hair. We predict dark-haired fans will be lining up to take the plunge with an inky blue-black Opens in a new tab hue as the temperatures start to drop. Achieve this bold look by coloring hair a jet black hue.

ICED LATTE HAIR

Take your iced coffee obsession next-level with a blend of cool blonde tones. Weave lighter blonde strands between sections of cooler dark blonde ribbons for a hue that’s freshly brewed.

ROSE BROWN HAIR

Everything’s rosy - especially with this rich, glossy shade of rose brown. Proving that pastels aren’t just for blondes, rose brown adds a warm pink tint to light brunettes, and works as an all-over color as well as a shade-enhancing ombre or balayage.

DARK BLONDE OMBRE

Warm blondes aren’t just for summer. Tone down sunshine-inspired ombre by taking blonde a few shades darker for their winter hair color. Stretch brunette roots to balance out their color, finishing with a few scattered blonde babylights to give this look a seasonal spin.

CHOCOLATE BROWN HAIR

A classic brunette shade is always a winter hair color favorite, and we’re addicted to this silky chocolate brown hair hue. It’s deeper, richer and shows off shine like no other.

FADED PASTEL HAIR

Switch up summer’s sugary pastel pinks or aquamarine blues with a faded, smoky finish to make your latest color work for winter. Frosted pastels = winter hair color perfection.
