With a new year, comes new looks. It’s an exciting, but possibly stressful time, especially if you aren’t sure what you want to try next.

While no color is strict to any season, some hues do better with the cold and changes in daylight of winter. Here are five of the hottest hair trends you should be looking out for in 2019.

Dark Blonde

Blonde may seem like a color just for summer since warmer, bright blondes give a hot sunny vibe. But a darker blonde is the perfect transition shade for the seasonal shift. The look can add dimension to brunettes who want to add in a bit of light into their darker locks.

BeScene Studios hair stylist, Yokasta Perez coined the latest shade trend of “mushroom blonde” that she calls an ash brown balayage fade into an ashy beige blonde. The ashy cool tones are a sure fire way to winterize your style.

If you’re going from brunette to blonde, try a set like the Restore RX Collection to give your blonde longevity while making sure that those crisp and windy nights don’t strip your processed hair of its natural nutrients.

Ashy Gray

If you want to channel your inner icy Daenerys Targaryen without going full platinum before the final season of Game of Thrones hits then ashy gray is the right hue for you. This look allows you to achieve a chic and edgy look that gives you a little bit of each spectrum of the rainbow, from dark to light. This look is also perfect for anyone thats looking to grow out those roots. But the moody gray trailing down to the ends elongates your hair but a slimmer look.

Dark and Light

Celebrity stylist Harry Josh has recently transformed Victoria’s

Secret model Miranda Kerr’s silky locks into a contrasting dark and light look. Kerr’s signature color is a chestnut brunette but Josh opted for adding face-framing light brown highlights.

The subtle update warms up the look with golden strands shining through while also adding a layer of dimension that is a cinch to maintain since the overall surface area of contrasting colors is minimal. This look is especially east to achieve for natural brunettes who are looking for a minimalist change to their overall glow going into the new year.

Master colorist at the Sally Hershberger Salon, Sharon Dorram explains that it’s quite customary to deepen and enrich your hair color when the temperature drops, which means this look is perfect for those who want the best of both worlds: brunette and blond.

Inky Black

Sleek, glass hair hit the scene this year when multiple starts like Kim Kardashian West decided to hone the look. This style will not be going anywhere any time soon either.

A deep, rich inky-black adds a gothy mysterious look that stands out. Utilize leave-in treatments to ensure that glossy shine, which is an absolute essential for a jet-black glass look, is ever present.

Deep Red

Winter brings on images of falling snow, warm lattes and oversized flannels, so why not bring that deep flannel red along with you all season long? Rich and fiery hues are going to be a hit going into the new year, as the copper undertones will provide a subtle warmth that will keep you going until the weather warms.

The undertones add a great deal of dimension and shine that dips its toes between the fall and winter seasons. However, you should keep in mind that dyed-reds fade much easier than any other dye. A natural shampoo and conditioner should continue to revitalize the hair while working to protect and maintain the hue.

Final Thoughts

It’s safe to say that deep and moody hues are going to be the rage in 2019. From mysterious brilliant blacks to bright and flaming reds, channel your inner style guru with passionate colors. But don’t forget to research which products will help protect and maintain that mane.
