According to Stylists, These Are the 6 Hair Colours Everyone Will Want in 2024 (2024)

Does anyone else get a sudden urge to change theirhair colour for the new year? Although I don't believe in the "new year, new me" thing, there is something to be said about getting a fresh cut and colour to start January and February feeling like the very best version of yourself. Not to mention the fact that we all want to make sure our hair is looking good for when the weather gets a bit warmer in spring and we actually start leaving the house. I'll be the first to admit that my hair needs some TLC, and my roots are definitely starting to show. However, instead oftopping up my usual blonde highlights, I'm in the mood to switch things up and try something new. But with so many options out there, I've found myself constantly going back and forth on what colour to go for, so I've enlisted the help of industry experts to find out what trends we can expect to see everywhere this year.

I reached out to Samantha Cusick, founder ofSta Studios and Samantha Cusick London, andJordanna Cobella, British Hairdressing Awards London Hairdresser of the Year2023 (for the second year in a row!) and creative director of Cobella Salon. Both experts shared what they believe will be the biggest hair colour trends of 2024, and I'vefinally decided which one to try, so if you're also feeling stuck and are looking for a little bit of inspiration, keep on scrolling foryour new look.

THE TOP HAIR COLOUR TRENDS FOR 2024

1. Lived-in Blonde

First up is possibly one of the most wearable, low-maintenance trends out there. Say hello to "lived-in blonde". "This year, I think we’ll be ditching the platinum blonde vibes of the Barbie film craze in 2023," says Cusick. "2024 will be all about more lived-in shades with darker roots, providing a low-maintenance option for those who want to stretch the time between salon visits."

Similar to lived-in blonde, balayage is great if you like totake a break between hair appointments, but the difference is that this trend can be adapted to suit any hair colour.
