—frosted blondes, and even faded peachy pinks, all of which add a much needed pop of color to the sea of rich, dark hues that are synonymous with the season. But don't worry—there are still plenty of stunning brown tones to choose from if you're looking to revamp your hair color..
This list wouldn't be complete without a lush, expensive-looking brunette. “This dark chocolate shade exudes the richness and dark dimension that we lean towards in the colder months, creating an overall timeless look,” says Redway. “This shade also reflects light really well, making your hair look thicker and shinier,” she adds. However, she does note that no matter what color you choose this season healthy hair is the key to nailing any trend.
Highlights aren’t just for the summer—they're just receiving an update for the colder seasons. Blending in some streaks of chocolate brown for winter is a great way to both avoid damage from over-coloring while still staying on trend. A few chocolate brown highlights beautifully accent darker hair colors. “It’s a lower-damage option compared to high-lift blondes, offering lighter tones with less maintenance,” says Kinoshita.
For those who like to err on the natural side with their color, hazelnut is a color worth exploring this winter. Sitting between dark blonde and a light brunette, “It’s very natural and holds a lot of warmth, which makes it easy to achieve with just highlights or lowlights, rather than a full dye job,” explains Redway. Warmth and radiance are the two biggest takeaways with this tone, and it’s “especially great for dark blonde or light brunette roots,” she notes.
