Ready to Change Your Hair Color? Try these Hottest Colors

As a woman, your hair is your signature. Before you even speak, your hair says something about you, and your style and color make a statement. If you’re ready for a change, check out these hottest hair colors. 

The wonderful thing about hair is that there are countless ways you can change it to suit your current mood. From little changes, like trims or getting bangs, to big changes, like going from long to short or blonde to black, your hair is an excellent outlet for self-expression.

If you find yourself looking in the mirror feeling bored with your current look, now is the perfect time to make a change. The winter chill is giving way to warmer temperatures and longer days. Spring is the season of life, so it’s a great time to breathe some new life into your hair.

Stay on trend this season and try out one of spring’s hottest hair colors.

Chocolate Brown

Warmer temperatures usually mean lighter colors, but chocolate brown will continue to be a popular color this spring. This luscious hair color works with a variety of skin tones. Chocolate brown hair is rich and deep, and this darker hue is sure to pop against the bright colors of your spring wardrobe. Color inspiration: Anne Hathaway, Kerry Washington, Kate Middleton

Platinum

Platinum blonde hair is lifted with bleach so the blonde is almost white. Depending on the color of the toner your hairstylist uses, you can go for a more yellow-based platinum blonde or the full white blonde. Keep in mind that platinum hair is a commitment as it needs to be touched up regularly, but it definitely makes a statement. If you opt to go platinum this spring, be sure to purchase a purple shampoo. Purple shampoo cancels out and brassiness or yellow undertones to and brings out the cool undertones.

Gray

If your hair has gone gray, now is the time to embrace it! Gray has been gaining popularity; younger adults are actually dyeing their hair gray. This spring, go au naturale, and let those silver tones shine. Like platinum blonde hair, it’s a good idea to wash with a purple shampoo at least once a week to keep the ashy tones bright. Color inspiration: Helen Mirren, Dame Maggie Smith, Jamie Lee Curtis.

Strawberry Blonde

Strawberry blonde is a sweet mix of red and blonde hair colors and a popular hue for spring. The warm undertones of the strawberry or apricot coloring provide warmth for your skin as well. Strawberry blonde works well with lighter skin tones, and gives you a golden glow without having to spend hours in the sun. Color inspiration: Adele, Sophie Turner, Nicole Kidman.

Copper Red

Red hair certainly makes a statement, especially in a tone as bright and fiery and copper-red. This vibrant hair color provides plenty of warmth and depth, especially for those with fairer skin. Whether you’re a natural redhead or you’re making the change with dye, this bright auburn color is definitely hot. Color inspiration: Emma Stone, Julianne Moore, Isla Fisher.

Golden Blonde

Blondes have more fun, right? Spring is the time to embrace your inner Goldilocks. Whether you’re naturally blonde or you want to lighten your hair, this sunny shade complements all eye colors and a range of skin tones. Golden blonde locks give the impression you’ve been lounging on the beach. To pump up this color, ask your hair colorist to start with a golden blonde base and add lighter blonde highlights to create some dimension. Color Inspiration: Amanda Seyfried, Blake Lively.

Honey Blonde

If golden blonde is a bit too bright for you, consider a honey blonde instead. This darker blonde hue walks the line between light brown and dark blonde. It’s a neutral, or nude, hair color that suits just about everyone. To get the honey blonde look, you can start with a light brown or very dark blonde base and add in highlights a few shades lighter to give you hair depth. Color Inspiration: Taylor Swift, Jennifer Aniston.
