Just like the hairstyles, there was a diverse range of hair colors trending throughout 2021.
Trying new hair colors is a great way to express yourstyleand personality.
And 2021 brought lots of exciting ways to do that.
We’re rounding up our favorite hair color trends of 2021.
In that way, bronde is truly the best of both worlds.
Celebrity hairstylist Dom Seeley toldStylist, “This color will work on just about all hair colors and types.
Warmer blonds reflect light and appear brighter, giving a radiant and healthy-looking glow to the skin.”
Celebrities like Jennifer Lopez,Elizabeth Olsen, andSofia Vergaralooked stunning in this combo color throughout 2021.
Money piece highlights
Another hair color trend that took off in 2021 was money piece highlights.
This is where the two front sections of your hair are a lighter color than the rest.
The great thing about this trend is there were lots of different ways people wore it.
Money piece highlights can vary in how much they contrast with the rest of the hair.
Some people only added slightly lighter front pieces to bring attention to and brighten their faces subtly.
And, of course, people tried everything in between while experimenting with this fun 2021 hair color trend.
Like with the highlights, the front strands of your hair are dyed lighter.
The front strands that are dyed are also usually a lot chunkier.
Unlike the highlighted money pieces, this look isn’t supposed to appear natural.
It’s a much more drastic look that had some people obsessed and had others rolling their eyes.
You don’t have to dye your entire head.
Those with naturally light hair could also accomplish the trend without first bleaching.
It’s a bold, contrasting look you’re able to use with a variety of color combos.
Some people bleached one-half of their hair while leaving the other natural.
And some people even used two bright fashion colors with one on each side.
With so many options, selecting two colors that go well together can be difficult.
TheSalon Success Academyoffered some advice for picking two colors that go well together.
They recommended combining light pastel colors and complementary colors or contrasting with blond and black.
However, it’s far from easy when if comes to upkeep.
Champagne blond
Another blond trend that made a splash in 2021 was champagne blond.
This was probably the reason we saw it everywhere in 2021 and may see more variations going into 2022.
Several celebrities hopped on the trend, withSophie TurnerandHilary Duffembracing the dazzling look.
And we love the idea of a rose champagne trend.
Coppery redhead
Amidst the blond and brunette colors, we can’t forget gorgeous red shades.
When it came to ginger hair, copper tones were huge in 2021.
The exact color could range from strawberry blond to deeper ginger.
But what the colors have in common is a warm, coppery glow to the orange hair.
Famously blond model Gigi Hadid surprised fans bydebuting her long red hairat Versace’s Milan Fashion Week show.
AndCarmen Lee Solomonswas another fashion model rocking the warm red tones throughout 2021.
It was fun to see all the variations on this style throughout 2021.
The key is sticking to a cool and earthy palette within the brunette shades.
Keep in mind that if your natural hair has brassy undertones, then this trendy look takes some upkeep.
One of these styles was the natural blond look with roots.
That’s right; this 2021 look embraced grown-out roots for an authentic and hassle-free style.
Hopefully, the low-maintenance style continues into 2022.
The key to the year’s on-trend black hair was its glossy sheen.
Papanikolas also recommended that anyone going dark start using a green-based shampoo to keep red tones out.
“Cool-tone black gives off an eclectic feel helping any artist get into the groove.”
There were a few reasons pink took off.
Kravrazonis also theorized that the increase of people working from home could have led to more fashion colors.
Although some returned to the office in 2021, many employees continuedworking remotely.
We also saw several celebrities trying out this look in 2021, likeChrissy Teigen,who went pinkin April.
AndLana Condorbeat most of us to the trend byshowing off her pink hairas early as February.
Although pink had its moment in the summer, blue was the fashion color of winter.
Many people used icy, light blue shades for a whimsical, wintery look.
However, celebrity hair colorist Bianca Hillier warnedGlamourthat blue is more difficult to get right than pink.
The blue color is also easy to incorporate into color-blocking styles like a chunky face-framing look.
This was another trend that came out of the pandemic.
While plenty went into 2020 as blonds, their hair grew out during the lockdown.
The leftover blond created light honey highlights in naturally darker, healthier hair.
Although since it’s been popularized, many have recreated the look by dying their hair.
What makes it look expensive is the richness of the tones and the shine."
Hailey Bieber was one of the first to popularize the expensive brunette when her blond hair grew out.
The color was called cinnamon due to its beautiful deep red with rich brown tones.
Gloss is a non-permanent way to color your hair that doesn’t damage it the way dye does.
As coloristLucille Javierexplained it toElle, “Semi-permanent gloss is typically a professional product pigment mixed with developer.
Direct dyes have just pure pigment and basically stain the hair.”
