8 Hair Colors That Will Dominate Spring 2019

One look at the rising thermometer and two things come to mind: switching out our winter wardrobe and changing up our cold-weather hair hue. You might automatically assume that bright blonde shades are the only way to go for a springtime refresh, but a handful of celebrity hair colorists are here to prove why that’s not always the case. For spring 2019, while blonde is part of the picture, glowing gingers, powdery pastels, and bold brunettes are also slated to be b-i-g. Keep scrolling for tips on all of the hottest hair colors this season.

Pastels

There’s no time like spring to consider pastels. According to NYC-based colorist Stephanie Brown, who works with the likes of Kate McKinnon and Melissa Villaseñor, powdery tones are making a comeback — especially of the soft blue and pink variety. (Photo via Steve Granitz/ Getty)

Unlike some trendy hair hues, these are stunning on everyone. “The only downside with pastel colors like Lady Gaga’s is that your natural strands have to be bleached to within an inch of its life first to achieve that fantastical mermaid shade,” says NYC-based celebrity colorist Rita Hazan. “Bleaching the hair is definitely doable, but I suggest having it done by a professional and be very diligent about your upkeep. After all, pastel shades love to fade.”

Sunny Blonde

It’s time to lighten up in 2019. “Margot Robbie has the ultimate buttery blonde color, it looks like she just left the beach,” she says. (Photo via Dia Dipasupil/ Getty)

As much as you may want to hop onboard the sunshine strand train, keep in mind that it’s best for fair complexions. To achieve the bright hue, Hazan, who is the owner of her namesake salon in NYC, suggests asking your colorist for a full head of blonde highlights. “If you have a naturally darker base, you may need to have a single process done to lighten it first,” she points out. And if you do start with a darker base, you can always take the face-framing route, as opposed to all over.

Strawberry Honey

What’s warm weather without something sweet? Nope, we’re not only talking about dessert. This season, it’s all about a trendy strawberry hair color. “It’s the prettiest shade for blondes that want a slight red tint or redheads that want to be a bit [lighter] without taking the jump to fully commit to either color,” Brown, who works at the IGK Salon, says. Those with fair skin should ask for a strawberry base color with honey highlights to get the most flattering results. “If you have medium or darker tones, you can still try strawberry blonde, just keep it a slightly deeper and more neutral red, rather than a warmer shade,” Brown advises.

According to Hazan and Beverly Hills-based celebrity hairstylist Linet K., a bronze blonde mane will be a standout this spring. Just look at Sofia Vergara (AKA Linet K.’s inspiration for the shade) and you’ll understand the hype. (Photo via George Pimentel/ Getty)

“The tone is great for olive and darker skin tones,” Hazan points out. “It complements and brings out the warmth in your complexion.” To achieve Vergara’s golden glow, she recommends asking your colorist to lighten your base a few shades and add light caramel highlights throughout.

Choclayage

Chocolate is more than just a tasty treat — it’s a source of 2019 hair color inspiration too. According to Hazan, the hue is rooted in a darker brown shade with slightly lighter ends, and it’s that gentle fade that makes the overall color look so rich and chocolatey. One peek at Taylor Hill’s dark lustrous mane and you’ll agree that the shade is absolutely delish. (Photo via Mike Coppola/ Getty)

Linet K., who works with America’s Next Top Model‘s India Gants, mentions that this rich brunette balayage suits anyone and everyone with fair, medium, olive, or deep skin tones. “Request a natural chocolate brown,” Hazan says. “I don’t want to say ‘ask for ombre’ because this is so subtle, but lighten some pieces on the ends.” To play it safe, she stresses the importance of brining a photo reference with you to illustrate your end goal. So, you know, just keep this article bookmarked on your phone.

Rooty Blonde

Root shadows are beloved near and far for the way they make hair colors more low maintenance. The technique requires your stylist to blend a tone similar or a bit deeper than your natural color into the highlighted tone so that when the roots grow out, there is little to no difference. “You get your highlights done and can let them grow out, especially if you already have naturally dark blonde strands,” Hazan says. Can’t quite picture it? Linet K. says to envision Rosie Huntington Whiteley. (Photo via Presley Ann / Stringer/ Getty)

The supermodel-approved hair color is ideal for all skin tones since it’s combining any blonde with a faux root that matches your natural mane. To score the look, request the blonde of your choosing and remind your stylist that you’d like an effortless growth period. This way they’ll know to shadow your roots.

blonde balayage

Balayage is another low-key coloring technique that’s expected to soar again this spring — especially when done in blonde locks. The color is characterized by dye applied to the mid-lengths and ends of your hair (as seen on Cara Delevingne above), which helps bypass the need for constant root touch-ups.

Celebrity colorist Sherry Ratay mentions that the biggest lesson is to remember that less is more. “If you go too blonde, you’ll end up with a shade that’s more appropriate for the summer season,” she points out. Ask your colorist for baby blonde highlights, as the subtle hue paired with the thin highlights will create a stunning spring hue that looks totally natural.

Ginger Glow

A touch darker than strawberry blonde, ginger glow hair is all about a light-reflecting copper color that still looks natural. “It’s not exactly the classic red but it’s one step below,” Hazan says, mentioning Isla Fisher as the ultimate embodiment of the shade. (Photo via Jon Kopaloff / Stringer/ Getty)

While we totally understand wanting to hop on the crimson bandwagon regardless of skin tone, this shade looks best on paler skin tones. “If you have too much warmth in your complexion, it wouldn’t be the best color for you since it would wash you out,” Hazan says. To get the look, she suggests asking your colorist for ginger red with a neutral base tone.

A Chic Gray Bob 

Ivan Samkov

Go for the classic style by asking for this exact cut at the salon. This shape makes everyone looks amazing and is probably one of the most versatile gray bobs that can inspire your next trip to the salon. To maintain it, you'll want to protect your hair with a scarf at night. During the day, make sure you use a heat protectant before curling it with one of your flat irons.

This blunt hairstyle looks SO good with glasses, too! Pair it with a statement lipstick, and you're really making some stylish moves!

A Gray Lob

Bobs can be as short or long as you want as evidenced by this longer 'lob.' This is for the person who doesn't want to have hair like Rapunzel, but still wants to maintain some of their length. If you ever want to go for a shorter look with this style, all you have to do is pin curl the ends of your hair.

I love how this cut cascades with naturally curly or wavy hair!

Anastasia Shuraeva

I mean, look how flattering this is!

This look can also add a lot of softness to your aura, too. Really love how it hugs her face here!

A Shorter Gray Bob With Side Bangs

Moe Magners

The best thing about shorter hairstyles are their ability to highlight someone's features. If you have an oval face with high cheekbones, this style will amplify them. Not only that, but you'll have fun parting your hair to create side bangs.

Tip: Use a small flat iron to create depth without over-curling your hair.

Moe Magners

Look at how this cut angles perfectly with her face! So sleek!

A Stacked Or Graduated Bob 

Antoni Shkraba

Another chic bob to wear is a stacked or graduated bob. Similar to the stylish woman in the picture, we imagine this hairstyle is for the woman who loves letting her personality shine through whatever she's wearing. We're jumping the gun, but this is one of those hairstyles you'll have fun planning outfits around.

I just love how this frames and elongates her face! The hairstyle makes her look refreshed and young, giving features like her eyes a chance to really shine!

A Gray Wavy Bob

Vlada Karpovich

This is the perfect length and shape to make your natural curls or waves shine. You won't even have to worry about curling your hair with this style because it doesn't require you to. If you're not sure what to use on your hair, we recommend using products from Sienna Naturals to help with the overall health of it.

Rene Terp

This hairstyle adds so much movement to your look!

Anastasia Shuraeva

You don't have to have such exaggerated waves, either. Some subtle waviness to your gray bob hairstyle is just enough to add that beautiful movement!

A Fully Curly Bob

John Snow was really on to something when he said, "Winter is coming" — especially when it comes to winter hair colors! I can talk about cute haircuts and hairstyles all day, but what I'm even more interested in are hair colors right now. This time last year, I started playing around with caramel and chocolate balayage to see how I liked it, but I didn't expect to fall in love with those shades! They seemed to add a cozy warm glow to my face that coincided with the season, and I've yet to look back!

Still, I haven't decided if I'm ready to take the plunge to dye my natural hair because I'm not sure if I want to cut it or not. Since that's another story, I decided to do what I do best when I have burning hair questions — talk to celebrity hairstylists!

As luck would have it, I talked to three experts who have a stellar clientele and knowledge about receiving a color service:

Similar to fall, Edson Ibarra says winter is about "embracing warmth and depth." He feels like "chestnut brown, caramel balayage, and copper hues" are going to "play beautifully" with the winter sun. "Subtle reds like auburn and soft cinnamon are also making a strong comeback, adding a little spice to classic looks," he adds.

The Best Trending Winter Hair Colors For 2024-2025

1. Chestnut Brown

Filipa Matos

This rich brown color is always going to be a staple no matter which season we're in. Kim Kimble feels like this is the time where colors like this will "complement the season's cozy feel." She personally feels the shade "Bold & Bright 40 Brown Sugar [by Clairol]" is "a soft, natural brown that will "bring incredible warmth to any look."

Whether you're getting a silk press or new hair color, a consultation is often recommended by stylists. Keith Shore says the reason is that "the consultation is a vital part of the color service." This gives him the chance to "assess the current condition of the hair" instead of diving straight into the process. Kimble also says, "The stylist will ask what you are looking for and if you have any color in your hair already or if it's virgin, etc. They may also do a patch or strand test to check how the hair will react to color being applied.

Once it's determined that your hair is healthy enough for the service, an appointment is usually scheduled for the big day! There are things you need to avoid doing, however. Kimble says the worst things clients can do is "irritate their scalp, scratch it aggressively, or apply really hard manipulation to it" before their color service. Keep this in mind if you're interested in trying one of the popular winter hair colors!

2. Teddy Bear Brown

Kimble also swears by Clairol's Teddy Bear Brown for a a softer shade if you're afraid of going too dark. Once your color service appointment is complete, it's important to maintain your new style.

Maintaining your hair's health after receiving a color service is crucial because of the process it often goes through. Shore says, "My essential maintenance tip is hydration, which is crucial after a color treatment. I love It’s a 10 Leave-In Conditioner; it sprays in easily, prepares the hair for styling, and is perfect for clients short on time. I also recommend K18 for blondes wanting to maintain their brightness."

Kimble and Ibarra both recommend that you use sulfate-free shampoos. "You want to reach for very light, mild hydrating shampoos and conditioners. Those are important to maintain the hair color. Also, a great conditioning mask as well," says Kimble." She doesn't want you to use alcohol-based products though.

Ibarra personally recommends that you use "leave-in conditioners with UV protection to guard against sun damage, which can dull the color." He doesn't want you to skip deep-conditioning "once a week" because it "keeps the hair hydrated and shiny." And if you have a "cool-toned" color in your hair? Ibarra says, "I suggest a purple shampoo to maintain brightness and neutralize brassiness."

P.S. Kimble suggests scheduling an appointment every 2-3 months to help maintain your hair's health and color!

3. Caramel Balayage

Jasmine Williams

If you're thinking about getting a color service but are afraid to take the leap, Shore and Ibarra have the best words of encouragement for you! One thing they all agree on is taking baby steps. Shore says, "The best advice I can offer is to start small — consider adding pops of color with balayage or lowlights. This is a great way to test the waters without making a drastic change to your look."

Caramel balayage is always my go-to shade when I want a little change during this time because it's captures the essence of fall and winter beautifully. It also seems to add an extra glow because of how the the balayage is layered.

"I often suggest a gloss treatment or subtle highlights as a way to ease into change — it adds dimension without being too drastic. You can also try Overtones Color Depositing Treatment Masks or clip-in extensions to experiment with different shades," suggests Ibarra. Mainly, he doesn't want you to overthink it. "The most important thing is to have fun with it! Hair color isn’t permanent, and it’s such a great way to express yourself and explore new sides of your style."

4. Cashmere Blonde

Theo Wargo/Getty Images

What about blonde you ask? It's not impossible! "Interestingly enough, there are some blonde tones that work well on brown skin as well but it depends on which tone of blonde. I recommend tones that are warmer and not too brassy. Think neutral tones," Kimble expounds.

You can also try the blonde hair color Gigi wore during Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Shore, "This time we went with a cashmere blonde for Gigi Hadid, which combines lowlights and glosses with strategically placed pops of color to enhance and highlight her natural tones," he says.

Based on his experience, he's noticed a trend among the other VS models. He says, "Alongside cashmere blonde, I’m noticing a shift towards more natural, tone-on-tone colors across all shades. Many of the Victoria’s Secret models are opting for less contrasting, more muted yet dimensional colors."

5. Gorgeous Copper

Kaylee Blackman

Celebrity hairstylist David Stanwell has managed to capture copper hair in all of its glory. Like Ibarra said earlier, this is one of those winter hair colors that the sun will love bouncing off of.

Both Ibarra and Kimble like to take a collaborative approach when servicing clients which makes appointments more enjoyable IMO. "It’s really a co-creation process. I start by understanding the client’s lifestyle, personality, and desired maintenance level — because hair color should enhance their life, not complicate it," says Ibarra.

Kimble says something similar in that she feels "choosing the right shade is all about enhancing natural beauty." She takes into consideration a client's skin tone and eye color to help figure out the perfect color that will "bring out those unique features." Without hesitating, she gave the perfect illustration. "For example, a subtle honey blonde like Nice 'n' Easy 8G Medium Golden Blonde can really brighten up warmer skin tones!"

Ibarra has a similar process in that he likes to look at clients' "skin undertones and natural hair color to identify shades that complement them." He also says, "I always encourage clients to bring inspiration photos, which helps us align on a vision. My goal is to help them leave feeling confident and like the best version of themselves."

6. Black

Dominique Goncalves

Like red lipstick or an acne-friendly foundation, winter hair colors aren't going to look the same on everyone. This is especially true if you have brown skin. Kimble says, "Black, chocolate browns, wine tone colors in the burgundy family and auburn all look great on brown skin."

IMO, you can never go wrong with this color because it looks amazing on everyone. Look at how well it complements Keke Palmer's gorgeous brown skin!

7. Silver Tones

Haley Sprankle

Kimble says that you can always try silver if you're not afraid and even offered shed light on the different dye processes that can used to achieve it. "Non-permanent is temporary because you wash it and it fades quicker. However, semi-permanent has a little bit of peroxide in it so delivers a deeper color deposit," she says. But, there's something you should know about semi-permanent. Kimble says "You can only deposit color" with it, but "you cannot lift."

If you want something that has an even lower chance of fading, you'll want to consider a permanent color. Kimble says, "...the color stays — reds and blondes fade, but they won't come off — and you can lift with them."

1923 fans are excited for season 2 for a variety of reasons. Not only does it promise to answer our biggest questions from the end of season 1, but I can't wait to see Jacob and Cara Dutton (Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren) totally kick Banner Creighton's butt. They're waiting for Spencer (Brandon Sklenar) to return to Montana to help them, and the new 1923 season 2 trailer proves there's literally nobody else who can do the job. Not that I had any doubt.

Here's what to expect from 1923 season 2 (aside from a super hot Brandon Sklenar).

The new '1923' season 2 trailer shows off Spencer's journey — and Alex's.

So far, Paramount's been teasing Spencer's journey across the country to reach his family, but this is the best look we've gotten at just how difficult his travels are. Not only is he making his way across state lines with no car and no horse, he's on his own AND he's racing against time as the Duttons fight off Banner and Whitfield at the ranch. I am STRESSED, y'all. (Although I have to admit, he looks dang good doing it.)

We finally get a glimpse of what Alex's next chapter looks like too, as she's left alone on the ship after Spencer gets kicked off. Storms are to be expected, but based on the figure who grabs her from behind, it looks like she could be in some serious danger from a fellow passenger. But even the sketchiest of situations isn't stopping this woman from finding Spencer again.

Every moment matters because in '1923,' "everything has meaning."

“Taylor [Sheridan] called us and said, ‘You have to look at every scene and imagine that it could be the most important scene of the episode, even if it’s just you walking from point A to point B,'” actress Julia Schlaepfer told The Hollywood Reporterin May 2023. “Everything has meaning.”

“I would love for Alex to make it to the ranch and meet the family,” she continued. “I hope we get to see some of her own strength come out now that she’s on her own. I want to meet the Dutton women. I think that that would be a lot of fun — and Teonna, we all want to meet Teonna.”

Every moment, and every relationship, makes 1923 stand out against this year's other TV shows, and Brandon Sklenar is "confident" that 1923 season 2 "is going to be absolutely incredible," he told Forbes. “The tone shifts a lot and it’s definitely a bit darker. It’s very beautiful.”

1923 season 2 premieres on Paramount+ February 16 and stars Julia Schlaepfer, Harrison Ford, Helen Mirren, Brandon Sklenar, Michelle Randolph, Darren Mann, Jerome Flynn, Aminah Nieves, and Isabel May. Stay tuned for the latest news!

I can't wait to reunite with the Duttons — and for Spencer and Alex to reunite with each other. Duh! Check out Every Character Returning For 1923 Season 2 while you wait for the new episodes.
