As the new year approaches, it's time to start thinking about updating our hair color. Luckily, 2024's hair color trends are anything but boring. This year, the focus is on subtle dimension, warm tones, and major shine. According to New York City colorist Sachi Kumagai, the key to achieving 2024's best hair color trends is to keep highlights more blended and hair colors more realistic. 

At Daena Diamond Luxury Hair Bar, we are committed to enhancing natural beauty while giving our clients limitless possibilities to redefine their style while nurturing their natural hair. We offer a range of services, including transformative haircuts, custom colors, and new hairstyles. We understand the unique challenges faced by individuals with alopecia or undergoing cancer treatments, which is why we specialize in creating custom wigs that are crafted with care and precision to restore confidence and style to those who need it most. 

So, what are the top hair color trends for 2024? Let's take a look at some of the most popular ones:

 

Melted caramel

After a year of bold chunky highlights, 2024's hair color trends are getting warmer and melting down across brunettes. This melted caramel look is softer and more lived-in, making highlights more natural and subtle than before. Keeping the bleach away from the roots is the key to achieving this look, as it creates a blended shadow root that allows you to go up to six months without being beholden to your colorist. 

Buttercream blonde

Buttercream blonde is richer and creamier for 2024, with warm buttery tones that reflect light and enhance the rosiness of your winter cheeks. If you're working with brunette hair and aren't quite ready to hit the full bottle of bleach, subtle buttercream babylights can create an overall ashy look that's perfect for cooler weather. 

Porcini brown

Mushroom brown is landing in a much more wearable place for 2024, with a softer and more realistic look. This neutral taupe with golden tones is inspired by the range of browns we're naturally born with, making it suitable for all skin tones and undertones. Just note that a true neutral bronde tone is tricky to maintain in summer months due to sunlight oxidation, so it's best to try this color out in early spring, fall, or winter. 

Toasted pecan red

This richly saturated, highly glossy auburn is perfect for cooler weather, enhancing the natural glow of deeper skin tones and pairing perfectly with pale skin. It's also a great stepping stone to the brighter and bolder red shades we're going to see in 2024, making it a good way to try a semi-red color before fully committing. 

Amber glow

Amber glow is a bronzy color that exudes warmth without feeling brassy, making it perfect for damaged or dry hair. The subtle highlights all over or just along your hairline can brighten your face, creating a monochromatic amber finish. 

Baby balayage

Balayages are getting a toned-down twist with baby balayages that are hand-painted on the edges of your hair to leave you with natural-looking dimension. Feathered balayages on just the ends of your hair can keep it subtle and create a natural-looking effect. 

Dark chocolate bouclé

This hair color trend creates natural-looking depth and movement in brunette waves and curls by pairing the richness of a dark chocolate base color with the softness of a super-tiny babylight. The highlights should be almost undetectable, only a half-shade or full-shade lighter than your base color, adding dimension and definition to curls. 

Midnight black

Monochromatic black is trending for 2024, with a rich and shiny solid hair color that will never go out of style. All-over color with a once-monthly gloss can keep the shine fresh. 

Red velvet

Bright and bold reds, like red-velvet crimson, will continue to have their moment in 2024. To get the best red, it's always good to think of how it will contrast with your skin tone and eye color. A cool-toned red can complement someone with pink undertones, while a copper-toned red can make blue eyes stand out. Upkeep on reds can be a lot, so coloring your roots and getting a glaze every four to six weeks is recommended.
