We’re predicting hot hues for 2017!

These 10 Hair Colors Will Be Huge in 2017

These 10 Hair Colors Will Be Huge in 2017

We saw our share of crazy hair color trends in 2016 — from stenciling and hidden rainbows to phoenix hair and sky blue balayage, 2016 was a little all over the place. Looking ahead, 2017 certainly won’t disappoint. We’re predicting some of this year’s fave hues that will remain in the limelight (think: chocolate-mauve and tiger eye) and be joined by some cool newcomers. Keep scrolling to see the colors that will take center stage in 2017.


1. Galaxy: We’ve seen the future and it is bright. Blue, purple and teal FTW! Show off your bold shades with an intricate braided hairstyle.

2. Rose Gold: We’re a sucker for anything rose gold, and that includes hair color. Couple with bouncy curls for a romantic look.

3. Burgundy: Raven-haired beauties rejoice! Burgundy balayage is an understated way to play with color and enhance your natural hue.

4. Cotton Candy: Out-of-the-ordinary shades are all the rage. This sweet dye job reminds us of the carnival treat we always crave.

5. Chocolate-Mauve: Calling all brunettes! Chocolate-mauve locks have been on our radar for a few months now, and we expect them to rule in 2017. For a more office-friendly take on this trend, try incorporating subtle pink highlights throughout.

6. Greenery: Succulent hair slayed in 2016. Next year, it’s all about greenery (the official Pantone color of 2017). With a color this bright, a shorter cut works best — longer locks could risk looking too Halloweeny.

7. Caramel: Delicious caramel highlights add warmth and dimension to chocolate locks. Soft barrel curls give this a polished look that works from the office to after-work cocktails.

8. Magenta: Take inspo from Ruby Rose with a hot pink hue. This eye-catching color is not for the faint of heart. That said, magenta is universally flattering, so bold babes everywhere, this one’s for you.

9. Tiger Eye: We predicted back in November that tiger eye tresses would be the it hair trend for 2017. Turns out, we were right! Whether you sport a cropped cut or long mermaid locks, this color is everything.

10. Platinum: Rihanna’s rumored return to platinum isn’t the first celeb to go boldly blonde. Zoe Kravitz has been spotted rocking platinum braids too. Guess it’s true what they say — blondes do have more fun.
