The start of a new year has many people feeling like they want some change. What better way to start 2025 than to refresh your look? From subtle to dramatic, 2025 is bringing tons of new style inspiration to choose from that can help set the tone for your year. Below are some new and bold ideas to kickstart your year and decide which color is right for you.
Ever want to do something with your hair but don’t know what? With so many options, it can be confusing where to start. Switching up the basics and coloring your hair a new color can make you feel like another person. When you’ve been a blonde your entire life and dye it brunette or black, a change of color can be exactly what you might need. Consider the season, your mood, and any upcoming events that can help you choose your next move.
Red is in full swing once again as a popular color of celebration, being used as a pop of color to elevate any look. And what better way to elevate your look than with your hair? Red and burgundy tones add warmth and depth to hair colors, offering a sophisticated and trendy twist.
Cool and Icy-toned blondes are more popular than ever, creating a sophisticated and striking look for anyone who dares to try it. The only downside of such an icy blonde is the maintenance, but with a good stylist, they will be able to keep you as blonde as possible.
If icy blonde isn’t your thing, sticking to more natural shades can give you a sun-kissed look most can only achieve from the California sun. The honey blonde and more neutral blondes are back in after icy blonde had a grip on style the last few years. Keeping your hair more natural will bring a bright glow to your face. Adding highlights or lowlights to create depth of color can heighten this look.
Easy to know why black hair is still popular. Classic, powerful energy, and a truly iconic look. But be careful; you can’t go back after dyeing your hair black. Whether you go with something classic or something new, just remember to be true to yourself, and you can’t go wrong! And above all else, choose a good stylist!
If you’re feeling adventurous, shades of blue are emerging as a popular trend this year. Cobalt and navy hair can be a fun way of experimenting with color without bleaching your hair. You can add a hair-dyeing conditioner to dark hair to give it a blue hue, or go all the way with your stylist and create a bold look with an all-over dye. Either way, you can’t go wrong!
Balayage is painted brighter around the face and done mostly on the body of your hair while blending your roots. The hand-painted process guarantees a naturally lightened look without the chunkiness that highlights can sometimes produce. It can be done in many shades and colors, but the most popular are blondes, brunettes, and other natural tones.
Pastel shades have remained a popular choice for the past few years and have continued to be a popular and unique style choice. This season, the most popular colors that are starting to emerge are shades of purple, like lavender and lilacs, with varying shades and intensity. This style allows for the perfect personalized touch to complement however you wear it.
With natural colors remaining supreme in 2025, going to chocolate brown may seem basic, but it can bring a whole new life to your hair. The warm color adds dimension to your hair, making it a low-maintenance yet very impactful change.
If you want to go for shock value, going for a two-tone look will certainly make a statement. Whether you go the route of chunky highlights in a fun, bright color or go for a direct split down the middle, your hair will receive the attention it deserves.
Once you’ve chosen a color, you may be asking, “How do I maintain it?!” while there is a ton of advice out there, here’s what we recommend:
