When it comes to beauty trends, nothing is ever really out. That being said, there are looks that naturally come and go — especially when it comes to hair color. Thanks to social media, it’s easy to see that all of a sudden, your friends, favorite influencers, celebrities, and even regular folks are getting dye jobs in similar, gorgeous shades. That’s how trends are born, after all. Which got us thinking: How can we get ahead of what’s next in hair color? By heading directly to the experts, of course. We talked to top colorists who have firsthand knowledge of what hair colors are going to blow up in 2019. They aren’t psychic (at least we don’t think so), but they’re listening to their clients’ needs all day at the salon — and some of those clients happen to be major trendsetters.
Lucky for us, these hues are decidedly wearable. Some are easier than others to achieve (we’re looking at you, pastel), but each can look incredible on just about everyone. Your new hair-color vibe for 2019 is right ahead. You’ll probably want to bookmark this.
Dirty Brunette
You’ve heard of dirty blondes, but have you heard of dirty brunettes? “I think we’re going to see a lot of the trend in 2019,” says hairstylist Riawna Capri of Los Angeles’s Nine Zero One Salon, seen here. She explains that the hue is a natural-looking brunette color that incorporates dark blonde pieces with a more neutral, smoky vibe. It’s not warm or cool — it’s somewhere in the middle.
Colorist Rachel Bodt loves the faded pastel hair trend because it’s more of a wash of color, as opposed to a saturated pastel. “It’s less of a commitment and looks just like a little blush on the hair,” she explains. It’s a hint or even a cast. Model Ariela Soares rocked a light-blue hue for the Marc Jacobs Spring 2019 runway show.
Hairstylist Andrew Fitzsimons got Khloe Kardashian to this pale-pink hue by using a temporary hair color. “I’ve been playing with spray-on colors lately and have been so impressed with how much these types of products have improved in recent years,” he tells Allure. “Khloe and I were chatting about it and she’s always down to push boundaries, so I used the L’Oréal Paris Colorista 1-Day Spray in Pastel Pink so she could see how it would look. She loved it so much, we did it again [last] week for Good American.”
