These Will Be the 9 Biggest Hair Color Trends of 2026

If 2025 was all about bold colors, the hair color trends of 2026 are taking a more relaxed vibe. No matter which shade you opt for, experts agree that many of the colors that we’ll see everywhere will be about adding warm and deep tones to bring down some of the brightness in vibrant shades for something more natural-looking.

We’ve got all shades of red (amber, copper, cherry) trending next year with a darker base for some balance. Even blonde shades will look warmer and more lived-in. 2026 is really more about healthy, shiny hair—and that’s something we are totally down for.

Below are the nine hair color trends experts predict will be huge next year. Save this for the next time you see your colorist.

Celebrity colorist Cass Kaeding describes ice beige blonde as having a “buttery, cool champagne undertone,”—and the top blonde shade we see next year. “It’s a mix of warm and cool tones but warmth without brassiness,” Kaeding tells Vogue. “The pinch of gold helps the blonde to look brighter, healthier, and more flattering across many skin tones.”

For the best care of this color (and any color you choose), she says it’s important to keep up with your gloss treatments between color appointments. “A gloss can work wonders,” she says. “It will keep your hair looking shiny, refreshed, and healthy. I recommend glossing three to four weeks after your last appointment.”
