Top 10 Winter Hair Colors

Yes, you might have packed away your summer colors and traded your night out heels for something more practical, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with your style this winter. Switching up your hair color is a tried and true way to feel like a whole new person without having to do a complete overhaul. But that’s not to say it’s not a meaningful move. As seasons change we feel an instinctual need to evolve with them. This winter, look at a change in hair color, not just as an aesthetic choice, but as the next step in becoming more you. 

Faced with the entire spectrum of color, it’s normal to feel a bit indecisive. But if you’re searching for the perfect hair colors for winter, look no further. This winter, a handful of hair colors have captured the hearts (and heads) of the world. We’ve curated the best ten winter hair colors below.

    Move over Y2K platinum, it’s soft girl season. Honey beige is a neutral, not too warm and not too icy, winter hair color that can be seamlessly incorporated into any cut and style. Its versatility allows for customization with different undertones, making it a practical choice for those seeking a fresh look this season. Got curly tresses? Add even more shine and dimension to your honey beige hue with a curl cream or hair oil.

    The selling point is in the name. This dark and cool-toned brown gives cultured energy.

There’s just something about a rich latte hue that screams: whoever has this hair is living their best life.

    Pastel pink had its moment, but pearly pink is an ethereal upgrade. This shade’s subtle, soft pink hue and pearly shine make the perfect canvas for eye-catching holiday hairstyles. Its soft, delicate hue offers a fresh, playful twist that adds a touch of whimsy to fall styles while remaining feminine and elegant.

    If you have neutral or cool undertones and have trouble finding dark winter hair colors that aren’t too brassy, mushroom brown is for you. This ashy brown is as natural as it gets, and looks super-chic pulled into a slicked-back bun with a touch of styling gel.

    6. Plum Brunette

    While plums may be a summer fruit, plum brunette is a favorite for dark winter hair colors this season. Not quite as bright as a true purple, plum is mixed with red and brown. Because it can often be achieved with a glaze or toner, the result is a fun winter color option for those who want to mix things up without committing to a full bleach.

    7. Fame Framing Highlights

    Face framing highlights are a classic, never fail option that instantly brightens up your base color and accentuates your facial features. Face framing highlights can be added to any hair color to give it that extra pop of life.

    8. Pumpkin Spice

    No, you do not have to be a Starbucks girly to love pumpkin spice hair color! This color offers a playful yet sophisticated look, allowing for a mix of warm reds, rich oranges, and golden blondes that can be customized to suit different skin tones. This hue is a more laid back version of orange with a little added dimension.

    9. Bronde

    These are not your average blonde highlights! In fact, they’re not really highlights at all. Bronde (brown + blonde) is equal parts of both colors, expertly blended from root to tip for ultra-dimension.

    10. Sapphire Blue
