As flowers bloom and birds chirp, people crave a fresh start, and what better way to shake off the winter blues than with a vibrant hair transformation? If you’re itching for a change, keep reading the top hair color trends, predicted to be popular this season.
With a keen eye for detail and an uncanny ability to predict the next big thing, Tom Smith, an illustrious British hair health expert and trend forecaster, never misses a beat. Behold, the hair hues he predicts will be trending this spring.
Some trends just don’t die. They come back in new forms, giving us flashbacks of our youth or nostalgic vibes when we flip through a family album. This is exactly what’s happening to vivid red shades this season, with last season’s popular copper hues giving way to cooler, violet-red tones. With Dua Lipa blazing the trail, inky-red tones are becoming more and more popular.
Such a vivid red doesn’t occur naturally. “With non-naturally occurring shades what’s more important is your fashion choices, your makeup, your personality, and the attitude that you carry yourself with,” notes Tom Smith and goes on to suggest that those with a light eye color (blue-, green-, and gray-eyed beauties, rejoice!) will look amazing with vivid red hair color.

Love the vivid red trend but want to keep your shade more subdued? Burgundy brunette is going to be perfect for you. Just like cowboy copper is a muted, brown-based shade of classic copper, burgundy brunette is a softer, more wearable version of vivid reds.
“It’s actually quite an easy shade to achieve whether you’re darker, or whether you’re lighter,” says Tom excitedly. But what makes us fall in love with this shade is the fact it tends to make your hair healthy, shiny, and vibrant. At home, proceed with colored conditioners upon a salon visit to keep your hair color rich and glossy.

Neutral, sophisticated, and utterly chic, taupe brown is the epitome of understated elegance. Free from the warmth of traditional brunettes, this mesmerizing shade complements minimalist aesthetics and exudes an air of effortless refinement. Perfect for those who prefer subtlety over extravagance, taupe brown promises to elevate your look to new heights of sophistication.

Sweeten up your spring with a delectable dose of syrup blonde – a tantalizing blend of creamy vanilla tones that promises to leave you swooning. Unlike its bolder counterparts, syrup blonde opts for subtlety over saturation, without veering into copper territory. Just like the burgundy brunette, this shade is your best bet to flaunt glossy, healthy-looking locks.
Syrup Blonde is ideal for blondes who want to add more warmth to their hair. “But whatever you do, don’t use purple shampoo afterwards,” Tom issues a word of warning. The purple pigment will give you a more muted appearance, neutralizing the glossiness.

“Crystal clear blonde shade is sitting exactly between gold and silver,” Tom describes the newly-coined hair color name. “It’s neutral and creamy but it’s as light as it’s possible for the hair to be.”
While it can be quite high-maintenance for those whose natural hair color is darker, requiring heaps of time and a pretty penny for global lightener application, this celestial hue is a gorgeous choice for anyone ready to embrace their grays. Crystal clear tone has the potential to make your roots look darker, creating dimension and depth. No more dreaded white grow-out that reads old!
