The lightest metallic shades are another option for winter hair colors you may try this season. Platinum blonde needs some shadowing to pop, and an ash blonde base is a perfect choice for this fabulous coloristic solution.
With the changing of the seasons, you’ll probably want to change your hair color, too. Totally normal! So, here are some great winter hair colors that will inspire you to refresh your look and add some variety to your season!
Whether you want an icy blonde tone, a rich brunette hue, or a cute shade of red, they’re all great choices for the winter season. Winter is the season of contrasts, that’s why darker browns and light, cool-toned blondes are welcomed for the coldest days of the year. At the same time, if you are willing to explore the red palette, you can either go for passionate vine hues, orangey reds, or go as hot and magnetizing as the flame in a fireplace.

Blonde highlights on brown hair is one of the most popular colors among fashionistas worldwide. A perfect winter balayage will feature a warmer brunette base and warm blonde highlights. So if you are still rocking “summer blonde” hair with light and platinum highlights, consider toning these down for winter.
Auburn hair color is one of the most natural-looking red shades, and it oozes a simple yet sensual vibe, making you look more feminine and appealing. Step it up with copper face-framing highlights to bring out warmer undertones in your skin.
@danielmbeauty
Some hairstyles speak for themselves, and these long thick locks with dimensional copper colors are no exception. Use the balayage technique to add marvelous dimension and movement and bring radiance to the whole mane. Such a thrilling mix of colors is sure to put you in the spotlight.
@dvcolour
A cup of hot chocolate with whipped cream and toffee candies is a famous winter treat that can serve as a source of inspiration for your next winter hair color. Use the hues for your new balayage or ombre to show off the most delicious shades in the best lighting.
@muzobilir
Warm and sunny strawberry blonde is going to light the surroundings and lift everyone’s spirits on cloudy winter days. You may want to try a light brown hue at the roots that blends into the warm strawberry blonde for a cute temperature contrast. We love the colors in this photo, and they look even more gorgeous in real life!
@juliajamessalon
Looking up photos for new ideas can be oh-so-motivating! Here is a dark mocha brown base accented with lighter chestnut-toned highlights. The lighter color is applied with precise brush strokes, which look very chic and effortless. Keep a medium length, and add curls to accent those lovely highlights.
@xoxoannerz
This burgundy shade whispers chic and good taste and requires many pictures to capture how awesome it looks. One of the best vivid yet deep winter hair colors out there!
@hair_by_nate_
One of the softest looks we have chosen to showcase in this collection of winter hair colors is this caramel-glazed style with highlights. Two shades of brown are combined, enhancing your hair layers and creating amazing depth for your long mane.
@daniel__amorim_hairstylist
This mahogany red color is bold, intense, and simply adorable on brunettes. Keep your length, allowing the natural waves to cascade down the back. This is an all-over dye process, and so worth it!
@isthatpat
Photos like these always serve as a potent source of inspiration. Warm colors give us life energy and brighten our mood on winter days. That’s why cinnamon, caramel and honey blonde hues are very welcome during the fall and winter months.
@sarabotsfordhair
This creamy icy blonde tone is another winner among trendy winter hair colors. When choosing a flattering blonde hair shade, you should remember to pick a hue that will complement your complexion. A rule of thumb is to match cool undertones with cool colors.
@blassomhair
The top hair colors for winter are here, tied together like best friends. A warm blonde hue brightens your hair, increasing the WOW factor of your hairstyle! Enhancing your natural brunette color with an all-over rich golden blonde shade boosts hair shine and contributes to the overall look.
@dvcolour
This divine platinum blonde hair color requires lots of care both in the salon and back home (toning platinum shampoo and deep conditioning), but it is so much worth it! If you are naturally blonde or have already bleached your hair to bring it a few shades lighter, the transition to this hue will be quite the task but will be completely worth it in the end.
@bel_pipsqueekinsaigon
2024 is a great time to try out a new look, and if you’re not ready to go too bold, try this rich chocolate brown! The chocolate brown color accented with lighter chestnut tones makes these curls stand out for sure!
@coloredbyphuong
Ready to get daring with the bright and heart-warming color for winter? This ginger shade will give you a reason to smile every time you look in the mirror. The random orangey-toned highlights accent the shade perfectly!
@marian.estilistas
This is a fun look to try! Lavender makes a lovely color combo with super dark roots, but keep in mind that dark hair should be lightened in several stages to pull off the hue while preserving health. With a shiny finish, your flowing waves will look like pure silk! You will love the way your length shows off the hue.
@hairbytna
Brown hair reflects the light best, which is why brown locks look so shiny and healthy. More so, it is quite fail-proof as it flatters most skin tones. Rich brown single-process color is trending, and this winter season is a great chance to give it a try.
@stylesbygiselle_
The lightest metallic shades are another option for winter hair colors you may try this season. Platinum blonde needs some shadowing to pop, and an ash blonde base is a perfect choice for this fabulous coloristic solution.
@lochair
Winter color trends also include classic options. This timeless alluring look always wins hearts. Use a very dark brown base color, then highlight with a medium brown tone to accent both the darker hair shade and your skin tone.
@sarahzstylz
Looking for a perfect shade? Why not get back to the basics and wear your natural dark blonde hair? The color gives many women real hair envy and looks great for winter. If it still seems too boring for you, enhance the color with eye-catching face-framing highlights. Simply adorable!
@mastersofbalayage
Beige blonde highlights are all the rage! Here, the sassy mix of dark brown and beigey blonde hues is nicely blended, making sure the new color will serve you the whole winter season!
@hair.byale
Rich and warm, a chestnut shade of brown hair has golden or red undertones in it. The root shadow and subtle face-framing highlights make this dimensional look the one to fall in love with this winter season!
@sarabotsfordhair
Finding color trends that pop is exciting and evokes a sense of freedom. A shade of aubergine and plum on the dark (almost black) hair is quite striking. Blend the color with natural dark roots to get depth.
@chandsalonandspa
Cool brown shades like an ashy beige and cocoa are excellent for letting cool undertones shine through. Consider using a blue shampoo to cancel red undertones in your natural hair color as the toner begins to fade to keep the cool tones.
@ahmettunbulofficial
Black is a welcome color in winter seasonal color trends, but the solid hue is likely to look too gloomy. The black diluted with cool brown and thin blonde highlights is another matter. This is a do-not-miss brunette idea for sure!
@salonsbyjcarlingtonheights
When it comes to hair colors for winter, your options are endless. Making the most of your color palette is essential, and this warm pastel pink is simply irresistible! It’s a subtle, softer shade, like the spring blossoms yet to arrive.
@bel_pipsqueekinsaigon
These blonde waves will bring you right into spring with the energy of their color! Make the best of the darkest time by being the brightest one in the room. Keep your length, and add two shades of highlights over a medium brown base. You can definitely bring some cheer to the wintery days of 2024.
@hairby_chrissy
When searching for winter hair colors, remember, a smart blending of gray is a trendy option! It’s a bit longer process to get sophisticated hair color like this, but if you’re willing to sit, you can have this amazing look and make root touch-ups much less frequent! For a dramatic look, keep your length and style with voluminous waves.
@mychaelabeauty
This look will continue to be popular in 2024, assuring that two-toned styles are here to stay. This fantastic brown-blonde mix looks glamorous and very winter-appropriate. Here come the compliments!
@hayleysbeautypage_
Winter calls for mulled wine hair! The trend of incorporating the best of deep red and burgundy shades into a beautifully nuanced mulled vine color has been building for some time now, so why not treat yourself to a mug and a salon trip this winter?
@isthatpat
